Pankaj Tripathi's 'Criminal Justice Season 4- A Family Matter' web-series review: Time to finally adjourn the court?
For how long will a fluid actor like Tripathi carry the weight of a show that cannot make up its mind what it wants to be? read more Cast: Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Basu Prasad, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla, Mita Vasisht Director: Rohan Sippy Language: Hindi The innocent and innocuous Madhav Mishra returns for a fourth season of Criminal Justice. There are no cliff-hangers in this show. Think of this web series as the Housefull and Golmaal of OTT. After every few years, we get new stories being churned out with the same characters. Even when you know all possible conflicts have been dabbled with, something inspires makers to come back and make no bones about it. Is there ever a saturation point? The swiftness of new seasons and sequels suggest otherwise. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It's only for the caliber of an actor of Pankaj Tripathi that right from the first time we met him in 2020 till now, he seems to have inhaled the nuances of this lawyer who uses both intelligence and innocence to get his job done. Right in the first episode, his client gives him a swanky car for getting a not-so-complicated job done. Think of Satish Shah and Shah Rukh Khan in Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani but more towards realism than razzmatazz. And then there's a strange and awkward couple (a surprisingly wooden Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and his wife Surveen Chawla). He has a girlfriend who's brutally murdered (Asha Negi) but this dynamic of Patni Patni Aur Woh is unconvincingly addressed for the longest time. This flashback is so laid back in its telling that you crave for Tripathi to be back on the screen. Despite those inevitable jump cuts and a pulsating background score, the drowsy performances deflate all the necessary moments of tension. And then there are the investigation and early courtroom scenes filmed for laughs. That a reputed doctor being forced to confess to a crime he claims he didn't commit looks silly. What looks sillier is how the scene where his bail is rejected is staged. Director Rohan Sippy showed immense promise in films like Bluffmaster and Dum Maaro Dum, rightly combining humour and thrill with delicious writing. As much as it's joyous to watch murder mysteries, especially with actors like Tripathi (with his now vintage wry grin), it's hard to overlook the glaring gaps in between moments of promise. A series like Criminal Justice can be accused of trying to be too many things at once. It wants to be a solid whodunit, it wants to present a hapless and horrified central character (It all started with Vikrant Massey in part one), and it also wants to be a satire (a la Jolly LLB). Ambitious but also awkward. For how long will a fluid actor like Tripathi carry the weight of a show that cannot make up its mind what it wants to be? But there are occasional pleasures too. For instance, Mita Vashisht's third run as a lawyer after Ghulam and Phir Milenge. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There is absolutely no ground left to explore, no juiciness to extract, and no wicked humour to flaunt. As Tripathi said in an interview recently, it only gives him the opportunity to increase his bank balance. His line in one key scene 'Yeh trial lamba chalne waala hai' holds true for this show as well. Is it time to finally adjourn the court? Rating: 2.5 (out of 5 stars) Criminal Justice Season 4 is now streaming on Jio Hotstar

Juhi Chawla Recalls Her Fallout With Shah Rukh Khan: "At That Time, My Work Changed..."
Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan maintain a strong friendship. Both are co-owners of the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KKR finished their 2025 season without qualifying for the playoffs. New Delhi: Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan share a long-standing camaraderie. In addition to working together in several films, the duo are also co-owners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KKR, who won its third title under Shreyas Iyer last season, has failed to qualify for the playoffs this time. On Sunday (May 25), the Kolkata-based side lost their last league fixture to SRH by 110 runs, wrapping up their 2025 campaign on a disappointing note. KKR has, however, won three IPL trophies since the tournament's inception in 2007. Now, an old video of Juhi Chawla speaking about KKR's rough start in the initial years of the tournament has surfaced on the internet. The actress had revealed that her kids, Arjun and Jhanvi Mehta, would often get emotional when KKR frequently finished at the bottom of the table. Juhi Chawla, in a past interaction with Rajeev Masand, said, 'Those were trying times when during the first initial years, KKR would come at the bottom of the list and my kids would cry saying, 'What is this team you have?' And they would go to the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, and it was not easy for them.' While speaking about Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla recalled a time when the two were not on talking terms. She revealed that the fallout occurred following the closure of their joint production venture, Dreamz Unlimited. In 1999, Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla co-founded the production company Dreamz Unlimited, along with director Aziz Mirza. The banner produced three films — Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka and Chalte Chalte — before eventually winding up operations. Juhi Chawla said, 'At that time, my work changed and my family was growing, I was moving in another direction. Earlier, we were on set together and then you work behind-the-scene but later you are further away from each other. Also, my nature of work changed, I suddenly started doing films like 3 Deewarein, My Brother…Nikhil, Jhankaar Beats and others.' Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan have worked in movies like Darr, Yes Boss, Duplicate, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Bhootnath.

Juhi Chawla recalls strained equation with Shah Rukh Khan after their production company folded; says kids Janhvi, Arjun ‘bawled' when KKR lost
Apart from starring in blockbusters like Darr, Yes Boss, Duplicate, and more, Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan are also co-owners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Although KKR has won three IPL trophies since the tournament's inception 17 years ago, the team had a rough start and performed poorly during the initial years. In an earlier interaction, Juhi shared that her kids — Arjun Mehta and Jhanvi Mehta — would often cry during those early IPL seasons as their team frequently finished at the bottom of the table. Speaking to Rajeev Masand in an old interview, Juhi said, 'Those were trying times when during first initial years, KKR would come at the bottom of the list and my kids would cry saying, 'What is this team you have?' And they would go to the Dhirubhai Ambani International School and it wasn't easy for them.' Dhirubhai Ambani International School is owned by the Ambani family — who also own Mumbai Indians, KKR's rival team. In addition to acting in many iconic films, Shah Rukh and Juhi also ventured into film production in 1999 by launching their own banner, Dreamz Unlimited, alongside director Aziz Mirza. However, after producing three films — Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka, and Chalte Chalte — the production house eventually shut down. In the same conversation, Juhi explained the reason behind its closure and also reflected on the tense period when she and Shah Rukh did not speak after Dreamz Unlimited came to an end. She said, 'We made Ashoka that won a lot of critical acclaim but didn't do well at box office. Then they started Chalte Chalte. I was helping behind-the-scene but then I was expecting at that time and I had to go away and I was in London for a lot of the time. They made the film. After that…I don't know why. Then Aziz Mirza lost his wife and was heart broken and then, I don't know why, but we didn't make more films in Dreamz because we needed Aziz ji to come up with more scripts.' Speaking about how the end of the production company impacted her relationship with Shah Rukh, Juhi said, 'At that time my work changed and my family was growing, I was moving in another direction. Earlier, we were on set together and then you work behind-the-scene but later you are further away from each other. Also, my nature of work changed, I was suddenly started doing films like 3 Deewarein, My Brother…Nikhil, Jhankaar Beats and others.'
