The movie is one of the most accurate courtroom drama made in India, there have been some dramatization of the incidence, but overall it is very much accurate of how things are in a courtroom.
My source? I am a lawyer myself 😜.
The movie is a very good depiction of how the POSCO act is misused and actually how the criminal acts are misused and how impactful is is to not be properly represented.
Overall it is a very nice photo drama which you can watch this weekend or any weekend. It doesn't have a very good dialogue or cinematography but but will be known for its accurate depiction of court rooms.
Overall it's a nice movie. But just because I am a lawyer myself and I keep looking for accurate depiction of room dramas so I am a little partial in rating this movie high.
My steal: finding questions instead of answers.

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!

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.

Court movie is a perfect example of realism movie in India. We haven't seen a lot of movies in India based on courtroom drama, but in this movie, we can see the realism court. I had been recommended this movie by My Telugu friend and genuinely I like this movie so much because of its ground to truth. This movie has everything of the realism. No unnecessary action or drama like we see so many movies in India had so many drama in the movie, but there is no compulsory to be an action because in reality, everyone is same to court. I like the movie and I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The actors acting was so real and looks so good.
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!"
