Rajshri Deshpande is phenomenal.
It can be hard to depict real life tragedies because it’s tough to give justice in portraying the unimaginable. A depiction of a disaster can falter in accuracy, or worse, can go into overdone melodrama profiting from the pain of other people. Trial by Fire’s tragedy is the Uphaar cinema fire, which is one of the worst tragedies in recent Indian history. However, the series is less focused on depicting the disaster, and instead more focused on the loved ones that sought justice after the event. The tragedy is a terrible loss, but instead of portraying the cinema in flames, the show instead mainly shows the family, how they were before the fire and the way they tried to deal with their grief. And, being based on the book written by two of the real life people that filed the lawsuit, the pain depicted in the series feels real and urgent because of its restraint. It makes it all the more stirring as a result.
