Pill trailer
The trailer reveals Riteish Deshmukh as Dr. Prakash from Ghaziabad. He is working in the Medicine Authority of India. He cares about life as a whole. He is bullied in his family as well as professional life. Finally daring to speak up, he takes on a legal case against the pharmaceutical company which has been corrupting his co-workers.
Bullied at home, and at work
Dr. Prakash’s wife bullies him stating that he dare not call her by her real name, Babita. She demands that he call her babe in the party, which is just another occasion to flaunt she has a (made-up) social status. Their child notices the same and tells Dr. Prakash that not just him but the whole colony can see the truth.
Forever Cure’s CEO, played by Pavan Malhotra, has launched a drug which is killing people. He goes on and tells Dr. Prakash that he has picked the right fight but with the wrong person.
The fight
Dr. Prakash talks about Right to Health, which is a fundamental right. Every person deserves to get safe medicine. The reason he has picked the fight, is so that people can hear his voice. “Jab tak haarenge nahi, tab tak maanenge nahi,” he is heard stating when at a low point during the case trial.
Created by Raj Kumar Gupta, Pill is a Jio Cinema original series. It will be out on the platform exclusively, from July 12.
