Cast

Reception

Avad Mohammad of OTTPlay gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "The Trial is an honest attempt by a young team. Director Raam Ganni impresses with his crisp narration and interesting thrills. Though the film lacks a strong motive, the thrills and crisp runtime make for a decent watch this weekend." [7] 123 Telugu gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "monotonous scenes, a slow-paced first half, and the lack of a strong conflict point are the main drawbacks. The Trial might find appreciation primarily among those who like crime thrillers." [8]
