The Trial Season 2 Premieres on JioHotstar to Tepid Reviews

Critics say the season trades legal fireworks for domestic and political intrigue.

Overview

  • All six episodes are streaming now on JioHotstar, with installments running roughly 40 minutes each.
  • Reviewers broadly praise Kajol’s performance as Noyonika Sengupta but fault the season’s writing, pacing and muted legal stakes.
  • Many assessments note that major cases are resolved outside court, reflecting a pivot away from extended courtroom confrontations.
  • New additions Sonali Kulkarni as political heavyweight Narayani Dhole and Karanvir Sharma as partner Param Munjal reshape the firm’s and Rajiv’s power dynamics.
  • Visual choices draw criticism for limiting immersion, even as some performances—including veteran Asrani’s turn—are singled out as highlights.
