After the success of Criminal Justice last year, Hotstar Specials is set to launch the next chapter in the franchise titled Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors. One of India's most-loved characters, Madhav Mishra returns for what is deemed as the toughest case of his career.

The prime accused, Anu Chandra, has confessed to stabbing her husband, an eminent lawyer - Bikram Chandra - and is guilty in the eyes of the law. While many believe it to be an open-and-shut case, Anu's subsequent silence and unwillingness to defend herself begs the question - is there more to the case than what meets the eye?
Anupriya Goenka plays Nikhat Hussain, who is assisting Madhav Mishra – portrayed by Pankaj Tripathi – in Anu Chandra's defense. Speaking about her on and off screen relationship with Pankaj Tripathi, Anupriya Goenka said, "For me, the highlight of working on Criminal Justice and Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors has been my camaraderie with Pankaj Tripathi. There's a beautiful understanding that has developed between the two characters in the series, as well as in real life, there's a lot of trust and mutual respect between the two of us. I treasure my off-camera conversations with him which aren't necessarily about scene and acting, but also about topics like politics and life at large. I feel this reel and real partnership reflects quite well, which is why our chemistry was well appreciated in Criminal Justice. In the next chapter, the on-screen partnership between Madhav Mishra and Nikhat Hussain has evolved a lot, and I hope that comes through.”
Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios, this 8-part courtroom drama series has been directed by Bollywood's Rohan Sippy, Arjun Mukerjee and written by Apurva Asrani, and is set to launch on December 24, 2020, on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors is one of the few stories in India to showcase the life and ordeal of women in prison.
