His life takes a turn when Narayana (Rayala Harishchandra) dies by suicide on the court premises. Moved by the incident, Parashuram files a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking justice.

Objection My Lord Review
For starters, Objection My Lord is the Telugu remake of the ZEE5 Tamil series Sattamum Needhiyum. Since the original has not been widely watched by Telugu audiences, the story feels relatively fresh. Director Santosh Ayyappan spends the first few episodes establishing the characters and the conflict.
The initial episodes move at a slow pace and offer very few surprises, largely because it is evident that Parashuram will eventually step into the courtroom and take up the fight. However, the narrative gains momentum once Sameera’s backstory is revealed.
The final three episodes are more engaging, thanks to the twists and emotional developments. The series handles a sensitive issue and delivers its message in a grounded manner. Unlike many courtroom dramas that focus entirely on the victim, this one is narrated through the journey of an underdog legal professional.
Technically, the cinematography, background score, and production values are adequate for the genre. The show does not have great visuals, but things look decent. The manner in which courtroom drama is showcased is engaging in a few scenes. The production design of the court premises could have been a lot better.
Coming to the performances, Srikanth delivers a sincere performance as Parashuram. He effectively portrays the vulnerability, frustration, and determination of a man fighting against the odds. Mukesh Rishi suits the role of a powerful lawyer, while Ananya Sharma makes an impression as Vedha. Snehal Kamath performs well in a role that carries the emotional weight of the story. Rayala Harishchandra leaves a strong impact despite limited screen time.
Director Santosh Ayyappan struggles to create a gripping narrative despite having a subject that offers ample scope for drama and emotional impact. The screenplay moves at a sluggish pace for most of its runtime and fails to generate the tension and excitement expected from a courtroom thriller.
The conflict never feels compelling enough, and the arguments in the courtroom lack the intensity needed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Another major drawback is the characterization. Several key characters are underdeveloped, making it difficult for the audience to emotionally connect with their journeys.
The antagonist track is particularly weak and fails to create a strong challenge for the protagonist. A more focused screenplay, stronger character arcs, and better emotional depth could have elevated the series considerably. Despite Srikanth's earnest effort and a socially relevant message, O
Verdict
On the whole, Objection My Lord ultimately ends up as just a passable fairly ordinary courtroom drama that never rises above its routine narrative. While the series attempts to blend a legal battle with a socially relevant issue, the execution could have been a lot better. Those who love courtroom dramas can give the series a shot.
