Pankaj Tripathi in Criminal Justice
The wait is over for fans of gripping courtroom dramas! Pankaj Tripathi is set to reprise his iconic role as the astute and relatable lawyer, Madhav Mishra, in the latest season titled "Criminal Justice: A Family Matter". Ever since the first season captivated audiences nationwide, Tripathi`s portrayal of Mishra has been a standout, and the anticipation for this new installment is palpable. JioHotstar has just unveiled the trailer, and it promises a season where the lines blur and the stakes are intensely personal for everyone involved.
The newly released trailer for "Criminal Justice: A Family Matter" plunges viewers straight into Madhav Mishra`s latest challenge. He is approached by Anju Nagpal (Surveen Chawla) after her husband, Dr. Raj Nagpal (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub), is arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Roshni Saluja (Asha Negi). As Mishra delves into the case, he reassures his client, stating, “I am your sword, steed and shield in this battle.”
Dr. Nagpal maintains his innocence, claiming he was trying to save Roshni, not harm her, even as we see a glimpse of him holding her blood-soaked body. However, as the investigation progresses, more secrets about Raj`s affair surface. Inspector Gauri`s questioning of neighbours reveals acknowledgements of the extramarital relationship, with one witness remarking, “People like Raj don’t leave their wives; they just have minor transgressions.”
The plot thickens dramatically when Anju, Raj`s wife, also finds herself arrested as a co-conspirator. This development introduces another lawyer into the already complex scenario, prompting Madhav to wittily observe a third team entering an ongoing match. The public prosecutor, Lekha Agastya (Shweta Basu Prasad), is determined to secure a conviction, making it increasingly difficult for Madhav to discern who is truly hiding what. The season is aptly promoted with the tagline: ‘Iss Baar Sacch ke Do Nahi, Teen Pehlu Hain (This time, truth has not two, but three sides).’
The trailer has already sent waves of excitement through the fanbase. One enthusiastic viewer commented, “This season is going to break all records of courtroom drama.” Another eager fan pleaded, “Please drop all episodes together, cannot wait!” The sentiment was echoed by many, with another fan exclaiming, “Madhav the Legend is back in court. This looks so good!”
