Audiences aren’t just watching — they’re relating, reacting and remembering. It’s the thrill of watching the truth unfold — slowly, painfully and often with a twist. Courtroom films blend suspense with substance. Each scene holds weight.
Each character, especially the lawyers, have moral and emotional complexity. And when it’s delivered through great writing and powerful performances, it’s a win all around.
This trend also says something bigger — audiences want more than popcorn entertainment. They crave stories that challenge, provoke and mirror society.
From Rajkummar Rao in Shahid to Ayushmann Khurrana in Article 15, actors are using courtroom dramas to push their boundaries — and the audience is loving it.
Now all eyes are on Jolly LLB 3. With Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi reportedly facing off in court, the expectations are high for a mix of humor, drama and reality check.
Can it take the genre to new heights? Or has the courtroom trend peaked? Either way the verdict from the audience will be loud and clear.
