Never felt so attached to a show as Criminal Justice: Pankaj Tripathi

From a case that shook us to characters that moved us, Hotstar Specials’ Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach celebrates its first anniversary! A show that introduced us to one of the wittiest and sharpest on-screen lawyers - Madhav Mishra played by none other than Pankaj Tripathi, opens up about his favourite thing about playing Madhav Mishra to celebrate the anniversary of the latest season. 

As Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach completes one year, Pankaj Tripathi who played the fan-favorite lawyer on screen - Madhav Mishra said, “Criminal Justice gave me Madhav Mishra, a character I relate to the most so celebrating one year anniversary feels like a homely celebration. ‘Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach’ explored a very sensitive case which affected me to be honest. Compared to the roles I've done before, 'Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach' shows a new side. Madhav Mishra is someone who leads a simple life and looks beyond what meets the eye and that really caught my attention. Although I have played completely different characters from him, some very innocent and some extremely brutal, in this, Madhav Mishra was a fresh character. He fights legal cases and understands the emotional complexities that may come with it, something I had never played before.”

Talking about the anniversary, he shared, “I have never felt so attached and connected to a show as Criminal Justice and I’m glad that Disney+ Hostar presented that opportunity to bring Madhav Mishra to all. You know, Whenever people see me at the airport or on the road, they always mention Madhav Mishra to me. He is a very popular and loved character by the audience. I feel great.”

Looking ahead, Pankaj Tripathi said, “I would hope to see Madhav Mishra handle much more complex cases that challenge him as a lawyer and bring justice. While it would be great to see him flourish professionally, in his personal life, I would love to see how the Mishra family grows, from Mrs. Mishra’s insights/ instincts to witty nok-jhoks.”
