Hindi Web Series Maamla Legal Hai

Maamla Legal Hai is a new courtroom drama-comedy by Netflix. It is created by Sameer Saxena and directed by Rahul Pandey. It had an excellent cast lineup with Ravi Kishan, Naila Grewal, Nidhi Bisht, Anant Joshi, and Anjum Batra.

Plot

Maamla Legal Hai, is a workplace comedy drama based in East Delhi district court and explores the day to day activities in the courtroom. Its concept is simple: it takes inspiration from real-life cases and social issues into a sitcom-style comedy.

Star Performance

The show’s star was hands down Ravi Kishan as his role of VD Tyagi, a senior advocate whose end goal is to be president of the Delhi Bar Association.

Analysis

Maamla Legal Hai is not like the previous courtroom dramas which are more severe and gothic instead this is more laced out with humour and satire. We meet all the different types of lawyers, some with chambers, some sitting in the parking lot and rest sitting under the tree. Even though Ravi Kishan plays the protagonist in the story, the other characters get their plotlines and heroic moments.

     The issue I found with the show is how they want us to take everything lightheartedly but at the same time, they bring up severe problems like child marriage, caste and gender. If it gets renewed for the next season, it should draw a line between what’s for comedy and reality.

What’s there?

• A new concept for courtroom drama with its wittiness and satire

What’s not there?

• A flawless screenwriting and execution of the characters

Verdict

If you want to watch a no-brainer and leisurely courtroom drama, Maamla Legal Hai is for you.
