Verdict story
Joy, a married woman, whose spirit has been dimmed by years of domestic and mental abuse, finally decides to end the intolerable suffering. The bruises, which she hid all these years beneath her clothes, now haunt her like a nightmare. The unbearable pain every day reminds her how she endured the cruelty of her alcoholic husband. Joy waits no more. With a heavy heart, she stands up for herself with a newfound resolve for justice.
The fear that kept her trapped begins to crack. This time she would serve herself justice anyhow. However, the path to justice is not an easy one. The legal system is filled with a long-awaited procedure and several delays. Joy has to be another type of victim of this constant tug-of-war against doubts. Yet, with each step forward, Joy’s belief becomes stronger.
The fight is not just to get some mere punishment for her husband, it's about reclaiming Joy’s life, her dignity, and the long-lost piece of herself. It is a fight for a future where the name Joy would once again reflect the woman she was meant to be. The movie Verdict’s main motto is to highlight women’s power and their legal rights for justice.
