There is a serious problem with Hindi cinema. Trial Period, the new film by director Aleya Sen, also suffers from this ailment. The problem with nearly all the recent films is that the filmmakers act as if they have a winner on their hands the moment they come up with a quirky idea. The idea may be great on paper, but without the right execution and strict tonal control, the film cannot engage the viewers. The film’s tagline reads ‘Father on Rent,’ and immediately, a world appeared in front of my eyes. I got excited after learning about the film’s idea, but the messy execution disappointed me. It’s as if the film wants me to be convinced of everything but doesn’t want to do the hard work to convince me.
The plot of Trial Period revolves around Anamaya Roy Choudhry, a single mother caring for her young son Romi.
