V Ravichandran’s must-watch courtroom dramas and legal thrillers

V Ravichandran is a prosecutor who sends an innocent man to jail, much like Lincoln’s lawyer, and then must find a way to save him, in The Judgment, the actor’s next release.

V Ravichandran plays a prosecutor in The Judgment

Crazy Star Ravichandran’s next release is The Judgment, a legal thriller in which he plays the lead role. The actor will be seen as a prosecutor whose lapse in judgment sends an innocent man to jail. What he does when he realizes his folly and has to find a solution to secure this man’s freedom is what director Gururaj Kulkarni’s film is about. Ravichandran is pitted against Lakshmi Gopalaswamy as they fight to decide whether Diganth’s character stays in jail or not. The film will likely hit theaters in May.

Yudha Kaanda

Directed by KV Raju, Yudha Kaanda is the Kannada remake of the Hindi film Meri Jung. With a box office run of sixteen weeks, Yudha Kaanda was one of the highest-grossing films of 1989. Ravichandran played lawyer Ravi Brahmavar, a lawyer with an agenda. Ravi has a problem with a senior lawyer, Patil, who had his father hanged despite knowing he was innocent.

Ravi Bopanna

The Crazy Star was not a lawyer in the film he directed and was his version of the Malayalam film Joseph. Ravichandran played an ex-cop with a flair for detail who helps him solve difficult murder cases. When he comes across a hit-and-run case related to illegal organ harvesting, he goes on a crusade against the perpetrators, who he then brings to justice with a power of attorney. Kiccha Sudeep played the lawyer who argued on behalf of Ravi Bopanna
