Kajol Devgan's 'The Trial' Receives Mixed Response; Twitterati Call Show A 'Cheap Copy' Of 'The Good Wife'

Kajol Devgan recently made her web series debut with 'The Trial: Pyaar Kanoon Dhokha' On Disney+.

New Delhi: Kajol Devgan recently made her web series debut with 'The Trial: Pyaar Kanoon Dhokha' On Disney+. The courtroom drama, which is the official remake of the American show 'The Good Wife' has received mixed reactions upon its premiere. While many appreciated Kajol's performance, others called the show a 'cheap copy'. Social media platforms like Twitter are flooded with comments of such nature.

Like 'The Good Wife', in 'The Trial', Kajol's character- a housewife goes back to working as lawyer after her husband's scandal lands him in jail. Reviewing the show, a Twitter user shared, "The Trial starring Kajol is literally a cheap copy of The Good Wife. The only difference is that in The Good Wife Julianna Margulies, the lead, acted real well, whereas Kajol is just saying the lines.”

Another user tweeted, "Court cases are won and investigations are completed faster than Maggi is made by an intern who resumes law practice after 13 long years, and yet, somehow wins all her cases, something even a pro lawyer would find hard, in this disaster of a series." 

 

A Twitter user had a problem with the show's story, tweeting, “The Trial is made with only one goal – to defame men. Please stop this woke feminism.”

 

Some users were even surprised with Kajol's first ever onscreen kiss in her three-decade long career. Some users even praised Kajol ad Alyy Khan's chemistry. "Didn't expect this from her (Kajol). The kissing scene is not the best to be honest." Another wrote, "Kajol and Alyy together (heart emojis)."

 


Directed by Suparn Verma, 'The Good Wife' is an Indian adaptation of 'The Good Wife' which starred Julianna Margulies in the lead role. The show first aired in 2009 and has seven seasons; it ended in 2016. 'The Trial' also stars Jisshu Sengupta, Sheeba Chaddha and Kubbra Sait, among others.

Meanwhile, Kajol was most recently seen in 'Lust Stories 2'.  

Recently at the trailer launch for her series 'The Trial', Kajol said during the press event, "It is a rather simple choice for me. I have always maintained that if I work, I will have fun, I will work with good people, and the script will always be my hero, always... Whether it is an OTT platform or a film, for me, a role is a role, both formats require the same amount of work. Perhaps, doing an eight-episode series for OTT required more time, but it is the same.”
