The previous seasons of the ‘Criminal Justice’ web series received a good response and captivated audiences. Today, ‘Criminal Justice Season 4’ has been released for streaming on Jio Hotstar. However, the makers are streaming only 3 episodes of this season. Check out our review to know how much the latest season impresses the audience.
Story:
Dr. Raj (Mohammed Zeeshan) is separated from his wife, Anju (Surveen Chawla). His daughter Ira (Khushi Bharadwaj) also lives with him. However, Dr. Raj is in an affair with Roshni (Asha Negi), who works as a nurse. Everyone knows about their affair. A day after Ira’s birthday celebrations, Roshni is found dead with her throat slit in Raj’s hands. Raj gets arrested by police. Anju goes to lawyer Madhav Mishra (Pankaj Tripathi) to save her husband. What kind of truths does he find out regarding this case? What things do the police find out in this case? Watch Criminal Justice: Season 4 to unravel the mystery.
Plus Points:
With the craze that the previous seasons enjoyed, the expectations for this season have been quite high. Even in season 4, an investigation into a murder and the suspense related to it continue, and Pankaj Tripathi impresses as the lawyer who solves the case. The latter season, too, features all the elements that are normally seen in crime and suspense thriller series.
Pankaj Tripathi impressed once again as the lawyer who solves the case. His expressions in several key moments were top-notch. The screenplay has succeeded in leaving the audiences immersed in the story and engaging them.
Several interesting twists and turns coming to light in the process of solving the murder case engage the audience. However, with only three episodes being streamed, the audience is left with the curiosity of what will happen next.
Minus Points:
The fact that Jio Hotstar and Criminal Justice makers have dropped only the first three episodes of the fourth season has not gone down well with the audiences. Fans of the show are taking to the internet and questioning the makers about such an abrupt planning.
The director takes his own sweet time in the first episode to get the audiences used to the story. Also, the presence of some boring scenes acts as a major drawback.
Proper care should have been taken when casting an actor of Pankaj Tripathi’s caliber. The director should have explored his screen presence in a much more effective manner. Talented actress Shweta Basu Prasad couldn’t leave a lasting impression due to improper characterization. This shortcoming should be resolved in the upcoming episodes.
Technical Department:
Director Rohan Sippy chooses a good story, and the way he has presented it is quite impressive. However, with only three episodes released so far, fans of the show are eagerly waiting to discover what happens next in the story. The cinematography is good, and the background score is impressive. The editing and Telugu dubbing should have been better.
Verdict:
Criminal Justice: Season 4 is a suspenseful crime thriller that features fine performances by its lead actors. However, the narration in the first three episodes could have been better. While certain elements captivate the audience, the screenplay is not entirely impressive. The first three episodes raise curiosity about how the upcoming episodes will turn out.
