Guilty Minds

We now officially have a genuine legal drama in Guilty Minds. Prime Video India's latest series focuses on the cases argued by lawyers based in Delhi with each episode focusing on a different case.

Kashaf (Shriya) & Deepak (Varun) have known each other from their law school days. Present day, Kashaf is running a small firm along with her friend, Vandana. Varun is a partner at Khanna & Associates, a reputed law firm. The overarching theme/plot focuses on Kashaf's father; Justice Quaze's defamation and Khanna's biggest client; Bhalla.

Guilty Minds is an engaging legal drama. It has its usual mix of relationships, the accompanying barage of emotions and so on. But the cases shown in each episode address important issues/relevant themes. Like the Blue Whale Challenge, viability of driverless cars, farmers running short of water, #metoo among others.

Shriya Pilgaonkar, who plays Kashaf is the star of the show. She is righteous & the allegations against her father shake her life. Varun Mitra as Deepak is excellent as Kashaf's closest friend. Other standouts include #sugandhagarg (Vandana) & Namrata Sheth (Shubhangi).

Guilty Minds is one of the best Indian shows we have got in a while. It manages to tackle relevant topics in what is an accurate depiction of the Indian judicial setting.

The series is based on court cases and how well they are executed

The makers have created a court room drama in each episode with different cases ..the cases are like water issues ,app issues,ivf issues, suicidal issues , murder for gaming purpose issues, songs patent issues and other this kind of issues were interestingly portrayed with facts in the court room.the direction is well and the pace of the series is also reasonable..along with court room stories the makers have presented other elements like love stories ,family rage ,friendships,rivalry...Shriya and Varun have acted very well ..both the stars and along with others

The boring part is that the series is too long and at a time you feel stuck with court cases and gets difficult to binge

The series will make your weekend interesting.

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.

I wonder why the ratings are so down for this show.. It is not perfect but definitely one of the better shows I have seen lately.. The intent and heart of the makers is spot on.. The cast is great and delivers what is promised, in fact more than that. Thoroughly enjoyed..Wouldn't have mind 10 more episodes...Please come back with a better season 2.
