The matter deepens and the layers of truth gradually opens, which will make your hair stand up.
Pankaj Tripathi aka Madhav Mishra once again takes over the case with his simple but sharp intellect. This time he has come with his new law firm ‘Madhav Mishra and Associates’. His character not only reaches the bottom of the case, but also leaves no stone unturned to make the audience laugh with his style and comic timing. His wife Ratna is also seen helping him in his work this time and both of them give light touch to the series.
Pankaj Tripathi’s life this time also the life of the series
Pankaj Tripathi is also the life of the series this time, but there are many more great artists in this series to compete with him. With his natural acting, he has once again proved that no one can play the character of Madhav Mishra better than him. Apart from being a serious lawyer, he also looks strong as a family person. The way they bring out the hidden layers, it is quite interesting to see. Mohammad Zeeshan Job is the second big face in the show and whenever he has appeared on the first screen, he has always proved his work right. This time he has appeared as a troubled husband and father and this time his acting is also strong. Whenever they come on the screen, you would like to see them without blinking.
The character of Surveen Chawla
Surveen Chawla’s character is also very important. She is the lead actress of the show. Although she has appeared in such a role for the first time, but she has killed her in the show with her work. Asha Negi, who appeared in the role of caretaker, is also no less. His role is slightly small, but he also deserves praise. The work of Mita Vashistha and Shweta Basu Prasad is also very good and has impressed with his acting, which depths the courtroom drama. Barkha Singh, Khushboo Atre and Khushi Bhardwaj have also done a good job.
Direction and writing
The grip of adventure persists till the end, that is, suspense remains till the climax. The team of writers and directors has once again proved how suspense is maintained till the end. Every time there is a new twist in the scene of the court room, which keeps the audience sticking to its seat. Many times you will jump from the chair. Although the story seems to be a bit pulled many times, but the climax is so strong that you can ignore that small deficiency. This time the story is not just a murder mystery, but also shows how mental health, family relationship and communication gap can turn into deep crisis.
Series worth watching
If you have seen the first three seasons of Criminal Justice, then it will be a big mistake for you to miss the fourth season. Suspense, brilliant acting, deep emotional connection and courtroom drama, everything is served in a spectacular way this season. Criminal Justice: A Family Matter once again proves why this series is one of the best legal drama in India. Pankaj Tripathi’s series deserves 3.5 stars.
