Maamla Legal Hai releasing on Netflix is a courtroom comedy. The trailer gives a sneak peek into the chaotic world of fictional Patparganj District Court. Produced by Posham Pa Pictures (Jaadugar, Kaala Paani) with showrunner Sameer Saxena at the helm and directed by Rahul Pandey, the series is set to premiere on March 1.
Meet the lawyers of Patparganj District Court: There’s VD Tyagi (Ravi Kishan), a shrewd lawyer who challenges the lambe haath (long arms) of justice. Joining him is Harvard LLM alum, Ananya Shroff (Naila Grrewal), a passionate advocate for justice and the latest addition to the crew. Meanwhile, there’s Sujata Negi (Nidhi Bisht), the OG Didi who hasn't represented a single case so far, and who simply wants to have her own air-conditioned chamber. Last but not least is Vishwas Pandey (Anant V Joshi), the court manager who considers himself the Donna Paulson of Patparganj District Court, a nod to the savvy secretary from the popular TV show, Suits. Rest assured, inka sirf coat kaala hai par dil nahi (Only the coat that they wear is black, not their hearts).
Speaking about the show, Kishan shares, “This is my first time donning the character of a lawyer and I can't tell you how much fun it was. Working with Sameer, Rahul, and Saurabh was a delight, their vision truly inspired me. When they first narrated the show to me, I couldn't say no, simply because I could visualize these characters and their shenanigans. After Khakee, this is my second project with Netflix, and I love how they challenge every actor with diverse roles. I hope the audience enjoys watching Maamla Legal Hai as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Maamla Legal Hai premieres March 1 on Netflix.
