Court: State vs. A Nobody

Court - State Vs. A Nobody (2025) is one of the most accurate and gripping courtroom dramas in recent years - and shockingly, it's from a debut director!

The story unfolds with a natural, realistic flow that keeps you emotionally invested. While the first 15 minutes seem slow as the plot builds, the real tension kicks in between the 33rd and 44th minute and from there, it doesn't let go.

What makes this film special isn't just the courtroom scenes, but the sharp commentary on how justice works (or doesn't). It reminds us that justice isn't always about the truth; it's about how well it's argued. And in today's world, people often weaponize the law, using the police and judiciary as tools for revenge.

This movie delivers a powerful and timely message, especially relevant to our society. It opens your eyes to the realities of injustice, misuse of power, and the importance of having the right voice in court.

If you're into meaningful, realistic dramas - this one's a must. Recommended for teenagers, parents, cops, and lawyers alike. I truly hope it gains the global recognition it deserves.

Court - State vs a Nobody presents a solid core story with a message that resonates, but unfortunately, the execution doesn't do it justice. The plot is simple, straightforward, and entirely predictable. There are no layers or twists to keep the viewer intrigued, which might work for some, but for most OTT viewers, it leaves little to look forward to.

The courtroom scenes, which should have been intense and compelling, come off as overly melodramatic with unnecessary expressions. The lack of gravity and realism in these sequences makes it feel more like a performance than a real trial. The tone almost feels tailor-made for a theatre-going audience that enjoys exaggerated performances rather than nuanced drama. Seriousness is sorely missing, something essential in legal dramas.

The screenplay feels like a stage act, and the background score is etchy and at times distracting. One can't help but feel that the cast was directed to overact deliberately, perhaps to give it a dramatic, massy vibe. But this choice alienates a segment of viewers who prefer more grounded, OTT-friendly content.

Still, credit where it's due: the movie ends with a meaningful message. It's just unfortunate that the buildup didn't quite match the strength of its conclusion. In the end, Court - State vs a Nobody might find takers among traditional theatre audiences, but for those seeking tightly executed, realistic drama, it might not hit the mark.

The villain in this flick really steals the show and creates the agency. Our hero, the lawyer on the other hand reciprocates as well as he can however it is overshadowed by the love story that occurs in the backdrop. As far as the court scenes go there is far too much time being spent on basic concepts like "circumstantial evidence" being explained to us by practical means when what we the audience really crave is watching the lawyer investigate and peice together the corruption of the legal system he has vowed to uphold. Sivaji our villain on the other hand does brilliantly in letting is very deep insecurities guide is every action and poison everything it touches. One wonders if the writer/s had based this character on someone they once knew or perhaps someone we all knew or have the unfortunate pleasure of knowing.

All in all this was a stones throw away from 10 stars. Entertaining but I'm a little disappointed it didn't measure up to what it could have been. Worth the watch!

The concept and narration is good and realistic, Adolescent children must educate law and order particularly POSCO act, so that they will react in the safe margins. In this society lot of sources available to misdirect immature children in addition to the personal egos, culture and tradition. Most of the children are being guilt by not differentiating between love and attraction.

This movie delivered strong message importance of POSCO Act.

Sai kumar is simply superb and dialogues are so intellectual, analytical and powerful, these words boosted and make his assistant to fight a case confident, bold with clear vision.

Court scenes are also so natural and the arguments also quite realistic.

Hats off to the Debut Director for excellent taking of scenes, matured characterisation, tight script and melodious background score.

Both new actor and actress played so natural without frigidity even though they are new to industry.

Overall movie is awesome and my score is 9/10.

Just finished 'Court - State vs Nobody'. It's simply worth watching! The first hour is intense, with Mangapathi (played by Sivaji) keeping you on the edge of your seat 😤. The court scenes in the second half are good 👌. Performance-wise, Sivaji steals the show, while the supporting actors deliver solid performances. The music by Vijay Bulganin perfectly complements the scenes 👌. The cinematography is also commendable 👍. Kudos to the writing team for their outstanding work!"
