Where does Vakeel Saab stand?

The trailer of Vakeel Saab, the highly-anticipated remake of Pink, is a step above the promotional material released so far, and brings the women to the foreground, while its star Pawan Kalyan still stays in the spotlight. Let's have a look at a few moments from the trailer to gauge its alignment with respect to the original and yet another star-led remake, Nerkonda Paarvai.

The defense lawyers on their side.
The prosectors.
While the lawyers, i.e., their defenders question the accused woman about her virginity in the Hindi and Tamil versions, it's the prosecutor played by Prakash Raj who puts forth the same question in the Telugu version.
When the plight of the women is falsely judged based on their character, the lawyers - Satya Dev in Vakeel Saab and Bharath Subramaniam in Nerkonda Paarvai - condemn the notion.
Akin to Pink and Nerkonda Paarvai, in Vakeel Saab too, one of them succumbs to the momentary pressure and accepts a crime she did not commit.
Unlike in the Hindi and Tamil versions, Vakeel Saab - indicated in the trailer - avoids the lawyer character, who also happens to be girls' neighbour, observing their movements.
In both Pink and Nerkonda Paarvai, Andrea Tariang plays a north-eastern woman, and the condescending gaze towards north-easterners is vaguely explored. However, Vakeel Saab seems to have avoided it.
This is the farthest both Nerkonda Paarvai and Vakeel Saab drift away from the source material and in this scenario, the latter seems to have emphasised what the Tamil film started.
This cracker of a moment from the end of the trailer twists the aforementioned 'question' and the reversal of gender on the opposite end adds to the film's subject matter.
