Criminal Justice Review

Coming to the performances, the central character Vikrant Massey, what an actor he is. Each and every character which he has enacted is just fabulous from being hero's friend in Lootera, Death in the Gunj to Mirzapur, Broken..but beautiful, Made in Heaven and now Criminal Justice. One can say he is a rare talent who can take any role and perform outstandingly well. His expressions, dialogue delivery is just apt to the role from being a fearful boy at the start to fearless person. Eagerly waiting for next release Chhapak. Pankaj Tripathi, one of the most lovable and well known actors in recent times is just simply outstanding in his role as Adv. Madhav Mishra. He aces his character with dry humour, making you smirk at his witty lines. Do watch for his conversation with the psychologist he consults. Jackie Shroff makes his debut in a digital series and aces it "bole to jahkkas bhidu". Pankaj Saraswat is monotone and stereotyped in his role of an honest police officer. Anupriya Goenka is good in her part and supports Tripathi well.

Review on Criminal Justice - Hotstar

On the whole, a worth watching series & will keep you glued to the series despite a lengthy 10 episode series. Do watch it on Hotstar if you are a fan of crime based series & the fabulous actors trio.

The story of Mirzapur is about a local drug lord Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) whose son Munna (Divyendu) is trying too hard to take his place but doesn't have any of the diplomatic or criminal skills.

Web series - Mirzapur

As far as the performances are, Pankaj Tripathi is magnificient and in his home ground. Be it his nuances, mannerism or the way he delivers lines, it's hard to not be in awe of him. He is truely one of the best actors of modern times and is truely the heart of the series. Vikrant Massey is an underrated actor who has again and again proved that he is an awesome actor in movies like Lipstick under my Burkha, Lootera and many more. He does full justice to the role and plays his part superbly well. The main surprise is Divyendu, who has till date played a boy next door but plays a spoilt evil in Mirzapur with perfection. Ali Fazal also surprises on his part where he delivers a great screen presence as an all brawn and no brain. His physical transformation & body language is truely commendable. Shriya Pilgaokar has good screen presence and plays well. Shweta Tripathi has less screen space but portrays her part well. Rasika Duggal has played her part well as a seductress. It's good to see Kulbhushan Kharbanda in a negative role after ages. The background score is amazing and the cinematography is good too. The only downfall of the series is the 1 hr long episodes and the slow pace of the series where Anurag was master of.

Overall, Mirzapur is an engaging watch and captivates you from start to finish. It is truely gripping, captivating and has high shock value. IMDB Rating  of 8.8/10 truely makes the series worth watching
