Undertrial is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language crime drama film directed by Aziz Khan. It stars Rajpal Yadav as a man who gets falsely accused of raping his own daughters.
Sagar Hussain is in jail as an "under trial" prisoner. Sagar's wife Sabeena was proved to be a prostitute who, with her associate's help, put their daughters in the flesh trade. When the elder one resisted due to a call of humanity, they murdered her. Incidentally, the murder scene got recorded in the daughter's mobile phone. The film ends with Sagar being released from jail after being respectfully exonerated by the court of law.
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 3 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, UNDERTRIAL has a bold storyline and an engrossing second hour to stay in the viewer's mind."[2] Patcy N of Rediff.com also gave the film 3 out of 5, writing, "Overall I felt the movie had a good plot, but was wasted. The very purpose why this movie was made will not be served. Audience will not go to the theatre to watch Rajpal Yadav as an old haggard old man. But it is indeed a good effort to make public aware of what is happening in our society."[3]
