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.
