But
remember
this
is
a
country
for
whom
courtrooms
-
even
live,
as
in
the
OJ
Simpson
case
-
were
prime
rated
shows
and
where
Earl
Stanley
Gardner
and
John
Grisham
are
among
the
best
selling
authors
of
all
time.
In
the
90s,
Hindi
cinema
suddenly
moved
away
from
blood
and
gore
to
candyfloss
romance
and
the
courtroom
scene
was
pushed
to
the
periphery.
At
one
time,
every
big
shooting
studio
had
a
permanent
courtroom
set.
Now
there
are
just
four
permanent
courtroom
sets
in
Mumbai
and
I
had
difficulty
booking
them
to
shoot
Bombay
Lawyers.
Yet,
this
too
shall
change.
In
the
post
2000,
post
Lagaan
period,
no
one
genre
of
films
dominates.
Scripts
are
becoming
central
and
the
story
is
king.
I
believe
it
is
just
a
matter
of
time
before
courtroom
scenes
and
indeed
entire
films
based
on
courtroom
dramas
make
a
comeback.
On
television,
Bombay
Lawyers
is
one
such
attempt.
This
time,
I'm
sure
our
writers
and
directors
will
portray
the
courtroom
in
a
much
more
realistic
manner
in
both
form
and
substance.
The
much
reviled
'Milord!'
and
the
black
coat
will
be
back
on
screen
-
but
this
time,
he
shall
speak
the
language
of
the
life.
