Like the previous two seasons, Criminal Justice : Adhura Sach follows the same template of a case revolving around a person who is(or is not) falsely accused of a murder which he did(or did not commit). Except that the accused is a juvenile in this case. The story is really interesting although the template of of the show remains the same. With many characters and some intriguing twists and turns, the story will definitely keep you invested. The screenplay standing at 8 episodes of roughly 40 odd minutes is just the right length for the show. In all the confusion of only a single episode releasing every week, the one positive bit was that the length of the show was nullify and it didn’t feel too long.

The drama scores and scores well in its world building wherein all the players(most of them) are introduced in the initial set of episodes. The dynamics of the relationship between them is nicely explored in what seemed like a twisted drama initially. The ball is set rolling spectacularly at the end of the first episode when the actual crime has been committed, leading up to an investigation which was quite engaging and layered.

There are multiple subplots initially which make the drama convoluted(in a good way). The entire sequence of the case eventually landing up with the protagonist seemed to be quite organic. The inherent humour and the calmness that are the two character traits of the protagonist are on full display here as the courtroom scenes begin to unfold.

The court room scenes are well executed and they definitely add a good level of intrigue to the drama. There are different angles which are explored through the court cases and one of them was of social media and how toxic it can be especially for children and young adults. And that is a valid argument in every sense of the world. Life does get unnecessarily complicated in the wake of the social media trolls, something that we have also seen recently related to the film industry which should be condemned.

However, the minor drawback about the show was that while it maintained a steady pace up until the 6th episode, the last couple of episodes seemed to be very rushed. It just gave me a feeling that the writers wanted to quickly get to point b almost immediately. And so it lead to a slightly confused kind of a narration. To give you a perspective, the main accused decides to run away from juvenile jail and he is even shown to run away. But in the next scene, he reports to court as if nothing has happened. So basically, that subplot did not make sense. While the final revelation was satisfactory, it again was rushed with everything unfolding within a scene or two which kind of made for a wobbly ending. But overall, the screenplay was good and had several engaging moments tagged to it.
