Baradwaj Rangan stated in his review that the film is about " teeming metropolis " . He also noted the contrasting lives of Vora and Nutan , where one lives alone , speaks fluent English and drives a car ; the other has a family , does not speak fluent English and uses public transport . Through this analysis , Rangan says that the film shows how people despite being from different genders , classes and ethnicities " converge in court . " The film is multilingual , with four languages spoken in it : English , Hindi , Gujarati and Marathi . Most of the dialogues are in Marathi as it is set in Maharashtra and the laws are read out in English . The defence lawyer is a Gujarati and speaks Gujarati language . The Marathi lawyers for the prosecution speak in Marathi and English . Since the Gujarati lawyer does not understand Marathi , they speak with him in Hindi . Tamhane said : " '' Court '' is set in Mumbai where people speak all four languages , so it was natural to keep that in the film . " Both Tamhane and Gomber had been applying to film festivals from March 2014 and were rejected by the Cannes Film Festival , Locarno International Film Festival and San Sebastián International Film Festival . '' Court '' later had its world premiered at the 71st Venice International Film Festival . The film was screened at several festivals after its premiere including the Auteur Film Festival Serbia , the Washington DC South Asian Film Festival , Kyiv Internatioanl Film Festival " Molodist " , Minsk International Film Festival , Singapore International Film Festival , International Antalya Film Festival , BFI London Film Festival , Vienna International Film Festival , Hong Kong Asian Film Festival , Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema , FICUNAM International Film Festival and 2morrow Film Festival
