If you are someone who is okay with unappealing filmmaking if the story is based on actual events and has pertinence, then I would say Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, aka Bandaa, starring Manoj Bajpayee will work for you as a moving legal drama.

Mrs Undercover Review | Radhika Apte Can’t Save This Lame and Confused Spy Comedy
I have seen Radhika Apte films that haven’t worked for me. But I could see particular possibilities that might have made her agree to those films, at least on a script level. But Mrs Undercover was perhaps the only film where I felt like, why on earth she decided to do a movie like this?… Continue reading Mrs Undercover Review | Radhika Apte Can’t Save This Lame and Confused Spy Comedy
Lost Review | Yami Gautam Starrer Is Compelling and Pertinent but Inconsistent
At its heart, Lost is a very political film that dissects the system and shows the unpleasant reality from a journalist’s perspective.
