‘Criminal Justice – A Family Matter’ review: All in a day’s work for Pankaj Tripathi’s Madhav Mishra
- The fourth installment of the Hindi legal drama series premiered on JioHotstar on May 29, 2025, featuring Pankaj Tripathi reprising his role as the sharp and resilient lawyer Madhav Mishra, who remains central to the storyline.
- The season follows the murder investigation of nurse Roshni, found dead at her lover Raj’s apartment, as Raj and his estranged wife Anju become primary suspects amid co-parenting challenges for their daughter Ira, who has Asperger’s syndrome.
- Madhav Mishra, who has advanced from modest beginnings to gaining a corporate client and workspace, balances roles as both attorney and detective while supported by returning characters like prosecutor Lekha and inspector Gauri.
- The series blends courtroom drama with detective thriller, emphasizing investigation over character depth, with Tripathi praised for shifting smoothly between wit and empathy and Anju’s complex portrayal adding substance, while the staggered weekly episode release has frustrated many viewers.
- A Family Matter has reignited interest in the Criminal Justice franchise through sharp storytelling and a strong lead, but ongoing audience criticism of the release model suggests potential impacts on viewer retention despite the show’s solid start.
