Court

A deliberate, intellectually rigorous courtroom drama that uses a dubious prosecution to interrogate systems of justice, culpability, and the gap between law and truth.

A sewerage worker's dead body is found inside a manhole in Mumbai. An ageing folk singer is tried in court on charges of abetment of suicide. He is accused of performing an inflammatory song which might have incited the worker to commit the act. As the trial unfolds, the personal lives of the lawyers and the judge involved in the case are observed outside the court.
