Synopsis
Legally Veer introduces us to Veer Raghava, portrayed by debutant Malikireddy Veer Reddy, a self-made entrepreneur in the United States. Tragedy strikes when his wife Priya (Priyanka Rewri) dies, forcing Veer to reevaluate his life. Leaving behind his empire, Veer returns to India to reconnect with his roots and right past wrongs.
Amid this transition, Veerencounters a young girl, portrayed by Shanya Kasala, who is desperately seeking help to prove her father’s innocence. This poignant meeting sparks Veer’s journey into the world of law, where he takes on the case of her father, Ramaraju, accused of multiple crimes and, later, a murder. As Veer battles seasoned legal adversaries and uncovers deeper conspiracies, the courtroom becomes the stage for a gripping drama filled with unexpected twists and moral dilemmas.
