The trailer of Alt Balaji's next web series, The Verdict vs Nanavati was received very well by the audience with a tremendous response from all across. Upping the ante, the makers have released fresh poster of the series which has fired up the Internet.
The new posters are hard hitting with a hint of cynicism which completely takes from the realistic storyline that the show portrays. Alt Balaji had earlier released individual character posters post the trailer launch and all of them are being well received- cutting through the curiosity with the need for me!
The fresh posters revealed on the makers' social media with the caption, "Presenting India of 1959. Independent yet patriarchal. Progressive yet conservative. It also gave the Indian Judicial System, the most debated case ever in its history. A case that had the society torn; Men vs Women, Parsis vs Sindhis, Moral ethics vs Legal justice.
Sylvia Nanavati was put on trial by the society, while it was actually the nation's hero K. M. Nanavati, who pulled the trigger. Many judgments were passed outside the court, and the nation was raging with debates!
Get ready to witness a case that divided communities and opinions, while a nation deliberated who's guilty and who's innocent. #TheVerdictStateVsNanavati a case that divided India.Streaming Soon on Alt Balaji".
