Criminal Justice Review

Then this ones for you pal...

Criminal Justice is a multi-layered story that not only follows the story of the lead i.e. Vikrant Massey’s Aditya, but also explores various subplots, giving depth and life to the plot.

Three characters hold the show together with their spectacular performances: Vikrant Massey’s Aditya, Pankaj Tripathi’s Madhav Mishra, and Jackie Shroff’s Mustafa. Vikrant transforms his innocent, boy-next-door character into a toughed up, exhausted man- result of the prison environment.

Aditya is driving his father’s cab one night, as a favor to his sister, when he picks up a customer, Sanaya, who will change his life forever. Some heated arguments and an apology later, Aditya finds himself in Sanaya’s home, and one thing leads to another, and he spends the night in her bed; only to wake up to find her stabbed to death. He is accused of her murder, but he can’t remember anything. Is he guilty or as innocent as he claims to be?

Criminal Justice is a police procedural drama that touches upon various topics such as police brutality and politics, coercion, manipulation, media sensationalism, the whole new world of prison, and the issues a convict’s or accused person’s family has to face.

The dark, dingy cinematography throughout the series perfectly matches the mood of the plot.
