The cop keeps suggesting that the woman’s understanding of the police force and other legalities surrounding an investigation could’ve helped her kill sans any clues. Where’s the tale headed? The Trial has a familiar yet a captivating premise. The key to investigation dramas is always a good screenplay and meaty characterisation - one needs to wait till November 24 to know if the team has delivered the goods.

Udhay Polime, Sakhi Uttada and Jashwanth Perumalla are also part of the cast. Saravana Vasudevan is the music director for the film while Sai Kumar Dara is the cinematographer. Srikanth Patnaik is the editor and Sudarshan Reddy is the co-producer. Other major releases for November 24 include Aadikeshava, Kota Bommali PS and Sound Party.
