Pankaj Tripathi is back as Advocate Madhav Mishra in the latest season of the acclaimed legal drama series, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter. Set to stream on JioHotstar from May 29, 2025, this season promises a gripping narrative that delves deep into the complexities of the legal system and familial bonds.
In this season, Madhav Mishra takes on the defense of Raj Nagpal, portrayed by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, who is found holding the murdered body of nurse Roshni Saluja after his daughter’s birthday celebration. As the courtroom battle unfolds, hidden truths emerge, challenging perceptions and revealing that not everyone is who they claim to be.
To ensure a realistic portrayal of courtroom proceedings, Pankaj Tripathi immersed himself in the legal world. He consulted with Supreme Court advocates and observed sessions at the Bombay High Court. Tripathi noted, “There’s a slight difference between a real court and a film court, but we’ve tried our best not to make it look cinematic.” His dedication lends a layer of authenticity to the series, reflecting real-life legal nuances that are rarely depicted on screen.
Directed by Rohan Sippy and produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India, the series boasts a talented ensemble cast. Alongside Tripathi and Ayyub, the cast includes Surveen Chawla, Asha Negi, Khushboo Atre, Barkha Singh, Aatm Prakash Mishra, Mita Vashisht, and Shweta Basu Prasad, each bringing depth to their respective roles.
The production team has taken significant steps to mirror real courtroom dynamics. Scenes depict judges pausing proceedings to confer privately with lawyers, a common practice in actual courts but seldom shown in films. This attention to detail enhances the series’ credibility and immerses viewers in the legal process.
Criminal Justice: A Family Matter will be available for streaming on JioHotstar starting May 29, 2025. Fans of legal dramas and gripping narratives won’t want to miss this compelling season.
