**HYDERABAD, INDIA** – The new Telugu courtroom drama, *Court: State vs A Nobody*, opened in theaters on March 14th, 2025, to a mixed reception. Directed by debutant Ram Jagadeesh and presented by Natural Star Nani under the Wall Poster Cinema banner, the film explores the complexities of the POCSO Act through the story of Chandu (Harsh Roshan), a teenager falsely accused of a crime.
The film follows Chandu and his girlfriend Jabili (Sridevi), whose relationship is threatened by Jabili’s powerful and chauvinistic uncle (Sivaji). Chandu’s fight for justice hinges on the efforts of a young, determined lawyer, Teja (Priyadarshi).
While critics praised Priyadarshi’s compelling performance and the gripping courtroom scenes in the second half, *Court* received a 2.75/5 rating, highlighting criticism of a slow first half and some perceived inconsistencies in the legal proceedings. Some sequences were deemed illogical and lacked the authenticity of a true-to-life legal drama. Supporting characters, including Sai Kumar and Rohini, had less impact on the narrative.
Despite the mixed reviews, Nani expressed unwavering confidence in the film. He boldly stated that if audiences found *Court* disappointing, they could skip his upcoming project, *HIT 3*. This statement underscores Nani’s belief in the film’s message and the importance of highlighting the often-misunderstood POCSO Act. The film aims to raise awareness of the act and advocate for its greater inclusion in educational curricula.
*Court: State vs A Nobody* features music by Vijai Bulganin and cinematography by Dinesh Purushothaman.
