big fan of pankaj tripathi
abhilashaa30 September 2022
Pankaj Tripathi big fan. He can make any movie/tv series loook so interesting. W What a spectacular actor. This series is very interesting from the beginning only, there are certain twist in every episode. I watched the seven episodes in one go, waiting for the next episode now. This there is a touch to actors life and their lifestyle which I really liked. What I like the most is Pankaj Tripathi way of solving a case. Mind blowing.

Criminal justice is the legend for Hotstar, waiting for the new episode and more seasons in the upcoming time. This season, I really like the torch off Pankaj Tripathi and his wife chemistry, that was really cute.

Great plot but really very annoying to wait for a week to watch next episode
titanst-0237722 September 2022
Very good plot and suspense has been well maintained . Excellent performance by pankaj tripathi .other actors too have done their role well. What's really negative for this series is one episode per week. Bad strategy especially when the competition between is OTT platforms is very high.

What's killing the interest is waiting for a week to watch next episode. I usually binge watch series. What is the fun in watching a 40 min episode.it literally kills interest. Next time I wouldn't watch a series until all the episodes are available. Very annoying. Hotstar upload all the episodes at once. Otherwise there you will lose your subscribers.

Madhav Mishra returns.
visking-923687 October 2022
I have been a fan of the criminal justice series since I saw the first season. I see a lot of comments complaining about the series releasing one episode per week. I think that was good. The series usually finishes with in 8 episodes. Releasing them at a regular interval helped building the suspense.

The story doesn't dissapoint this time as well. Same template as the other two. A crime happens and an innocent guy gets imprissioned because of situational evidence. Madhav Mishra saves the day. The story had all elements of suprise and thrill. Both Madhav and the PP carried their role very well.

I was a little dissapointed by the fact that the PP's side story ( Rich father and the privilege) was left without a closure. I feel the series could have had more time for such closures.

Otherwise a great season. Waiting for the next one.

Fantastic!
devangpandya-076757 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I just finished season 3 and I absolutely loved it. Here I can see few negative comments from some people who got frustrated seeing one episode per week. Thank God I saw all the episodes in one go and loved the season. Infact I Iiked it even more than the precious two seasons. Pankaj Tripathi is absolutely fantastic steals the show. But all the other actors have performed brilliantly. The plot and the screenplay keeps the viewers engaged throughout all the episodes. My humble request to the makers is not to season the series and come up with season 4 very soon. Madhav. Mishra connects with the audience as if he is a part of the family.

Intense, Gripping, Relatable
amangupta-025882 September 2022
  • The show has Aryan Khan case vibes. Must watch for all the 420 lovers.


  • Acting of Mukul, Avantika, Pankaj Sir and Shweta is on another level. Pankaj Sir acting is the USP of the show. But I am really surprised by the acting of Mukul, Avantika, and Shweta as it is my first time watching these actors on screen.


  • The character of Zara is a little cringe but was overcome by the acting of Mukul and Avantika.


  • Came for a quick glance. Stayed for the content. Rated 10 based on first three episodes. Lot can happen in the next 5 episodes for better or for worse.


  • This season is completely independent from the previous seasons of Criminal Justice which I have not watched. No story lapse whatsoever.


  • Frustrated with episode by episode release. Bad strategy IMHO. These days almost all netizens are Dopamine junkies thanks to instagram reels and YT shorts. And the anticipation of the next episode causes a dopamine spike which quickly turns into anger, frustration, anxiety and hatred when the reward is not fulfilled. This strategy may garner views and hype in the short term but will definitely turn out to be a disaster for Disney+Hotstar in the long term. It is the second series I am watching on Hotstar (first being Banshee), and I am extremely disappointed by not being able to watch the entire season at once.


  • Releasing episode by episode creates a polarizing effect for the show, making good series sensational and bad ones just lose their retention after a couple of episodes. But for the platform, it always creates a negative emotion. Soon the subconscious mind of the audience will attach Disney+Hotstar with fear. The fear of commitment. The feeling of being tied up. The feeling of being in prison. And as a human being, we love freedom above anything.


P. S. - I rarely rate 10. I love shows/celebs like SRK, Chitrangda, Narcos, Ozark, Mindhunter, The Family Man, Jolly LLB, Saare Jahaan se Mehanga, Goliath, Messiah, etc. So, if you have similar taste, do give this show a try.

Clueless investigation
arungmohan7 October 2022
When lawyer is the hero, police is made to look dumb and they do no investigation whatsoever. Follows same line of story as the other one. The guy who plays the role of Mukul is the worst actor I have seen in a webseries in a long long time. Guy is showing weird faces which is really unbearable at times. All shortcomings are due to overstretching a very small thread into a full length web series.

THE BEST COURTROOM DRAMA ON OTT !!!
stuntman-568526 October 2022
10/10 for so engaging, thriller , well written web series. Pankaj Tripathi is like water. He fits in every character like water takes shape of the vessel in which it is poured. What a performance by him. Hats off!!

But other characters were also superb. They given their best especially Purab Kohli and Shweta Basu.

Shweta Basu was literally looking , speaking like a real high class lawyer. She has nailed her role. Purab Kohli as a drunken , hurt father has done full justice to his role.

Specially want to mention , the family angle between Pankaj Tripathi , his wife and his brother in law is very sweet and heartwarming.

10/10 Stars. I can't cut even 1 star for anything. Because it's perfect. Thank you Hotstar and please bring the next season as soon as possible.

Courtroom Drama
sanskartamrakar-3878431 October 2022
Criminal justice a crime thriller show filled of courtroom drama. Most and only thing i liked about this show is Pankaj Tripathi acting. Story starts very well with building victims background and then connection of prime suspect with victim. After happening of crime here the problem comes, police looks fool going after just prime suspect only and not searching anything more. Which reduces main part of searching criminal in a more prominent way.

Story plot hole : Without hinting about real criminal, our main character finds him out of nowhere with a minor hint thats not enough.

Atleast give viewers some hint which engages them, make them of being a detective.

Brilliant and Hard Hitting
sanjeevinreach7 October 2022
If it's Pankaj Tripathi I would imagine amazing acting chops, but kudos to Swastika Mukherjee, Shweta Basu (been a fan since Makdi days) and Khushboo Atre all the ladies were amazing in their roles. Aaditya Gupta delivered well in his role as an affluent teenager filled with angst and on a self destructive path.

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Pankaj Tripathi and Aatam Mishra throughout the series.

Pankaj Tripathi impresses as always being the soft spoken but brilliant attorney. Swastika Mukherjee's role as a mother torn between believing the love for her son and the surmounting evidences against him was able to deliver a nuanced performance, she is versatile actress as her filmography has shown. Shweta Basu was pretty good in her role but she stood no chance against Pankaj Tripathi not because of her acting skills but because of the script. Her character arc was a bit lopsided according to me me as she came from an affluent background but chose the public prosecutors office to make a name for herself yet acted like any other non serious public servant. Her character could have been more sympathetic and hard working especially due to her choice to be a public prosecutor.

Purab Kohli and Gaurav Gera were good in their roles, but I feel the Kalyanee Mulays character could have been explored further.

Overall this is an amazing journey that would scintillate most viewers, I would recommend binge watching it as waiting for next episode becomes painful.

The show tries to give a strong message on the perils and pitfalls of social media and the effect it has on the younger populace and this effort is commendable.

This show is a treat for Pankaj Tripathi fans and another example of the power of OTT.

Plot is brilliant but execution is slow
nehagupta-9524612 September 2022
Goods: Great story and script. Plot is a bit unique and portrayed well with complexities in the lives of the main characters Brilliant acting by Pankaj, Swastika Mukherjee, Aditya Gupta, Adeenath and Kalyanee.. They have adapted to the characters well.. Bads: It moves a tag slow and some scenes are a drag and bore you. Its a crime drama not emotional drama. Eg why is the torture in Juvenile jail important to show, does not take the story ahead. As an opposition lawyer, Shweta Basu looks a misfit, she is just not there for me, Hope to see less of her. She is not witty but plain aggressive. Only one episode releases every Friday, for a crime thriller it can be suicidal. It kills all the fun to be honest.

Must watch this series a really fun ride.
madhumitasarkar-4385110 April 2023
Just WOW . You must watched You all are thinking I am saying WOW to this show by not seeing the episodes but actually I finished full season (all episodes) in just one day. It was a fun ride and of course it was family time show that can see by any member of the family, it is just Pg 13 . So I highly recommend to watch this series it was just the blast . The thriller and the suspense was truly unexpected. At some point during the first half of some episodes the story was predictable but as we move on with thee characters it then became hard to indentify the story means to predict the story. And the acting was all to good by all the stars and the co stars.

Thank you.

Big spoiler for content delivery
sajal7528 October 2022
Suspense for month is not good for mental health. But no clue was first 6 episode and last 2 only plotting and finalize the season. Connecting but not mind blowing. Hotstar content delivery is very poor. One episode in every week. Madhav Mishra is not fully utilise it's potential. Showing them weak and not confident. And last episode make them hero and win the case. Now, it's like trend to put drugs in every season and high society culture, how parents didn't take care of their children. Kids are facing drugs, social media, psychological disorder and peers pressure to give a edge in this crual World.

Over smart
shashank-meet3 September 2022
You have not produced a show like GOT or House Of Dragon such that the viewers wait for years to watch. A normal running drama series which everyone watches only because of Pankaj Tripathi is telecasted for 1 episode per week.

Don't spoil the essence of watching a web-series. You will loose customers for sure in future if you act over-smart and not inline with the other platforms....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Superb
swagato-611516 October 2022
Loved this series and will love the same in future for such a wonderful plot, excellent and so natural acting by Sir Pankaj Tripathi, Swastika Mukherjee and others.

Though It was quite boring and lacking of interest due to waiting for 1 episode per week but I voted what I felt like. I would suggest to release all episodes at a single date than releasing one episode each week. It would attract more viewers then.

Thanks to the whole team and I would request to make the next season again with a fantastic thrilling drama with suspense in deep level. Thanks to Hotstar for hosting such a fantastic show. Always love Court room drama...

Releasing one episode per week is worst idea.
abhishandilyaa12 October 2022
This web series is classical legal drama and i applause Mr. Pankaj Tripathi for his dialogues Delivery. Though on legal basis so many faults even sections name are referred in wrong way. One instance of "Section 319 Cr.p.c." At last episode. They said it is of Evidence Act. Evidence Act has only 167 sections. Though I know it a drama but you should be careful for these silly mistakes. Some dialogue like. "Kitne followers ho jayenge to Moksha Mil jayega" are my Favourite. Don't try to be oversmart by releasing one episode per week. It ruins the entire magic of binge watch. All characters are fit but last episode when all truth comes out is way to fast, i Mean it should not be too fast, you may create some more curiosity in to them.

Pankaj tripathi has solely taken this show to next level
gauravsgarmaggg4 October 2022
Pankaj tripathi has been superb as always. I am watching only because of his superb acting. His dialogue delivery and expressions have taken this show to next level. All Ott platforms should cast dome good actors like him instead of big stars who don't have any acting skills. Other actors of the lawyer family ha acted good as well. Few of the actors seem to be acting like typical star plus saas-bahu serials. I wish some good actors were been used for refreshing look. Although, Waiting for episode is long waiting game though and is the irritating part. I wish they could have released more frequently.

Fantastic and gripping story
sptest-703018 October 2022
Amazing story and plot that unravels slowly with each episode and reaches the peak at the end.

Full marks to all the actors including Pankaj Tripathi athi.

The only con was it released one episode every week but the patience was worth it.

After a long time watched some great content and courtroom drama that made a lot of sense and was intelligent as well.

Please don't bash the rating due to its weekly release. This kind of stuff needs to be appreciated to encourage the OTT platforms. Hoping to see more of such seasons that can take the excitement to next level. Full marks to the director, hotstar, story writer and the actors.

Leaving the platform by uninstalling this Disney + Hot Star
vikram-varma348 September 2022
IMHO the show is good however I don't have time to watch this show on a weekly basis. I have passed this message to all my friends and colleagues about this pathetic strategy of realising one episode per week and they are not even signing up for this foolish app just because of this show strategy as they don't want to keep hanging around as there are many other OTT apps which let you watch the entire series in one go!

I wish I could get my money back but Alas! My 149 for 3 months are gone but who cares. I will Netflix and binge all night on the shoes that come with full episode release. I am very much disappointed but hey! Who cares! I am happy that I saved at least 300 people to not download and pay for this pathetic app and fall trap to this money making technique! The show is Okay but not worth to wait every Friday and watch like some weekly soap. This is not 1990s guys! Grow up Hotstar and Applause Media and Aditya Birla Group. You will end up losing on the revenue rather than gaining hype for this show. Who cares for Madhav Mishra and CJ. You are not SS RAJAMOULI or Game Of Thrones producers that some idiot will wait for entire week and watch this show. Your marketing team should be fired for this stupid idea

Watched till episode 3 and Uninstalled! Good Bye Hot Star and Disney! Your strategy sucks!

Just loved the show
fabrockingnikhil8 October 2022
I really liked the plot. Absolutely loved the acting by Pankaj Tripathi as always. I enjoyed each and every episode and the finale was just amazing. The dialogues and court scenes were great. This show has shown the true life of a lawyer and how they have go through such difficulties in their daily routine life. Also, there's a very good message in this show for the teenagers and the people who uses social media. Kudos to the creators who have thought like this and given us this fantastic series. The direction is supery, show's speed is exactly what it has to be. I was waiting for every episode eagerly.

Cast change is disappointment - watched 4 episodes
uttamkalika11 September 2022
The supporting cast like cops, lawyers having similar faces since 2 session.

But this time they made ugly changes. Most disappointing change is to remove Nusrat character and replacing with that not doing anything his BIL!

The mother of accused boy also doing poor acting. It's good they retained gauri ma'am!

Although, the opposition lawyer is doing very well.

The story is going good, it is not slow like last session.

Regarding delivering each episode every week. I don't hate it completely. Since, In india tvf used to do the same with their very old web series.

If someone wish to do binge watch. Please don't start till they release all episodes!

Absolutely thrilling
lovepreetsandhu-7290415 September 2022
I am a huge fan of crime series and I loved this season; although, season 1 would always be the best one. Unfortunately, 2nd season was not up to the mark but this current season, season 3, is quite intriguing and riveting.

I just didn't realise that I have already watched 4 episodes in one go.

Other than the series itself, I love watching Pankaj tripathi.

Eagerly looking forward to watch the rest of the episodes.

Only one disappointment with Disney hotstar is they are uploading a single episode a week. I hope they should have uploaded the entire season together as I don't like watching it in parts.

Filled with skilled characters but a not so strong plot
vinaybhardwaj-0533514 November 2022
Story revolves around a girl who is also a star and her brutal murder. The storyline does not have strong elements of surprise unlike season 1. They have tried to copy the jail plot from season 1 but failed to put any masala in that. The plot therefore looked simple. Many unnecessary characters were involved in the story and that too when they does not contribute even to the suspicion in any sense. Nevertheless the acting and the dialogues covered up the ground well. The direction was good. The addition of a brother-in-law character also adds to the flavour. And the opponent lawyer character was also fine.

Hoping for a strong storyline in season 4.

Killing the hype of Criminal justice
prasadbhosale-534602 September 2022
This decision of releasing 2 or 1 episode each week will Back fire u Its just disgusting to wait for one episode all week rather than We will Boycott ur platform. Its not a ekta kapoor serial jo ak ak episode me aayegi its a web series and Its a Criminal justice ur On line of all the viewers and see their reaction on social media of ur oversmart decision. What is the sense of waiting one whole week for a single episode 😅😅😂 r u out of ur mind hotstar team dont drop stone on ur on leg. Hotstar is most preferable platform but there are lots of platform to watch if u dnt want to reduce the subscriber of urs then dont apply Mind When there is no need.
