Life is unpredictable. One minute you’re planning a party with your friends, the next minute you’re being accused of murder. Criminal Justice is a show that reminds you of that. Starring Vikrant Massey, Pankaj Tripathi and Jackie Shroff, the show touches upon numerous topics and submerges you into a pool of intense drama.
Criminal Justice follows the story of Adi (Vikrant) who gets convicted for murder and has all the world's evidence against him. Adi, however, doesn’t remember anything from that night. What follows is a parallel story: Adi’s life inside prison and Pankaj Tripathi fighting the legal system outside to help him out of the mess.
Everything about the show keeps you gripped: the actors’ fantastic performances, the sharp story-line, the complexities and layers of the characters and the overall production. A smart narrative allows you to connect with even the most extreme of characters and Criminal Justice manages just that.
This show is a reminder of the adage, don't judge the man next to you till you walk a mile in his shoes. The message stays with you long after the curtains close.
Criminal Justice is currently streaming on Hotstar.
