Netflix’s latest series, Maamla Legal Hai, has taken the audience on a rollercoaster ride through the eccentric corridors of the District Court Patparganj. This series’s showcase of absurd and hilariously objectionable cases sets it apart. From a foul-mouthed parrot to making conjugal arrangements for an inmate, the series has left viewers wondering whether these bizarre cases are based on true stories.
Netflix’s Maamla Legal Hai featuring Ravi Kishan is inspired by true events
Maamla Legal Hai was released on March 1, 2024, on Netflix. Since then, it has become the talk of “the court,” from its unique storyline to its refreshing cast. Directed by Rahul Pandey, the eight-episode series digs into the salient points of real-life cases.
One cannot help but wonder about the inspiration behind these outlandish cases. Take, for example, the case of a foul-mouthed parrot summoned to Delhi’s Patparganj District Court. Brought in for hurling obscenities at an elderly woman. In 2015, a similar incident occurred in Maharashtra, where a parrot named Hariyal faced accusations of offensive behavior.
Additionally, the Netflix series explores the unexpected scenario of conjugal bliss in prison under legal supervision. While the notion may seem absurd, it mirrors a real-life situation. Based on another 2015 case, where married inmates are allowed to have sex with their partners to have a child.
All in all, despite the absurdity of the cases presented in Maamla Legal Hai, the series does not purely rely on fiction.
To cement such claims, lead actor Ravi Kishan himself has shed light on the series’ unique approach. He explained, “It is very easy to take the drama out of the real incident, but we have taken the humor. The humor is there. You just have to capture it.”
In conclusion, Netflix’s Maamla Legal Hai, while not entirely grounded in reality, seamlessly weaves the absurdity of true legal cases into a comedic storyline.
