We all share a special kind of fascination with what happens in those big courtrooms. Where unsolved mysteries are debated upon with proofs and thesis then judgments are given. Maybe this is the reason why Courtroom drama is a big hit formula for Bollywood. Movies like Ghayal, Damini, Pink and much more have a special place in the hearts of Indian audience just because of their courtroom scenes. We all have grown up listening “Taarikh pe Taarikh” dialogue by Sunny Deol. Admit it, in our childhood, we wanted to say, My Lord’, ‘Objection, your honor’ etc. dialogues. While many gIve up but few decide to pursue their dream as a lawyer after their school. Because career of a lawyer is not only fascinating but it also comes up with big responsibilities and a lot of respect from society.
