Guilty Minds

The show wasn't bad .. but I was left a little underwhelmed! It had so much potential .. after watching all the court room dramas like .. Boston legal .. Suits etc .

I'm very confused whether I shall suggest this show to anyone or not. I'll why you the reason why I think I shall and otherwise.

Reasons in Favor: 1. This show shows a grey shade for everyone. No one is completely black or white and the story, direction and acting will make you feel bad for both sides in almost all the cases.

2. They way they portraited the courts and the arguments was real good. They showed what exactly happens in a court.

3. The terms like 'My Learned Friend', 'Mere Kabil Dost', "Lordship', 'Honorable Court' and many more are used appropriately.

Reasons in Against: 1. It features different stories in different episodes with a story going on in the background about the main leads, which made me a little uncomfortable as both the stories do not relate with each other. I really felt that it'll be like Made in Heaven by Zoya Akhtar, where the background stories of main character and the stories of new characters in each episodes were somewhere similar, which advances the main story.

2. After watching the entire story I couldn't recollect the story as a whole and that's why not able to connect with it properly.

For the above reason, I'll, give an overall rating of 6 stars to the movie for the performance of all the actors in the series and there is no doubt about the acting skills of the actors.

This is one of the best courtroom drama shows that i have ever seen. The performances of the the whole team is outstanding. At one scene two of the protagonists discussing a case and male counterpart says that there is nothing like white and black outright. There are Greys. This very well sets the mood of the series. I really enjoyed this show.

Different series away from usual crime, bloodshed or political negativities. Legal drama could have been slipped into boring fiesco if subject had not been given a realstic treatment with changing cases.

Shefali took work from all the deptts very well and proved herselfvas focussed director.

All Young actors performed exceedingly well and could not be overshadowed by the presence of veterans.

Shreya,Varun and Pranay Pachauri need specific mention and are not found guilty of any kind of over or underperformance, balanced themselves well. Promising Pranay with strong screen presence, performance and good looks may prove a strong contender in Bollywood very soon.

Overall ,a must watch.

Anwar Says: Courtroom Drama has been a favourite subject of Bollywood directors and this time it is being presented by one of the most famous lawyer family, Shanti and Prashant Bhushan, member Shefali Bhushan. Normally courtrooms theatrics overpower the script but here nothing has gone overboard.

Questions raised in each episode are pertinent and contemporary and not preachy. Three college friends , two of them pro-bono lawyers and third a high profile are not only confined to Delhi court cases but travel through out for some high profile cases . Each episode has a new case but the story of main characters are running simultaneously.

Shriya Pilgaonkar has already proved her caliber on OTT , Varun Mitra looked suave as hotshot lawyer. Though in some of the cases the lustre of the drama is missing but the realistic presentation, particularly the choice of judges and set of courtroom and the pinching dialogues encourages you to go for next episode. Watch it in parts , 3.5/5 from me.
