"Tribunal", a courtroom drama based on a case filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, 2001, is nearing completion with about 75 percent of its filming wrapped. The film explores the fraught intersection of justice, morality and political influence.

The makers formally introduced the project at a press conference held on Tuesday (December 9) at a hotel in the capital, with the director and cast members in attendance.

Director Raihan Khan said, "'Tribunal' is being made in a completely different approach. We hope to finish the remaining shoot soon. If everything goes according to plan, we will release the film on Eid. However, if post-production demands more time, we will not rush."

Nusraat Faria stars as a barrister — a stylish, sharp-minded London graduate defending the accused. The cast also includes Moushumi Hamid, Tania Brishty, Sayra Akhter Jahan, Ador Azad, Shahed Ali, Milon Bhattacharjee and Rakib Hossain Evan, among others.

Moushumi Hamid said she accepted the role after hearing the story. "I haven't received a story like this before. It's a murder–courtroom drama. There are 26 witnesses and one eyewitness — I play the eyewitness," she said.

The film is reportedly inspired by true events. Although most of the shooting has been completed, the team plans to wrap the remaining work and post-production in time to release Tribunal next Eid-ul-Fitr.
