MUMBAI: JioHotstar's legacy legal drama Criminal Justice is returning with its fourth season on 29th May this year, and the stakes have never been higher as this time Sach ke sirf do nahi, teen pehlu hai! Pankaj Tripathi’s Madhav Mishra has come a long way from being an underdog lawyer to becoming the ultimate case-cracker in JioHotstar’s Criminal Justice. Over four seasons, Madhav Mishra has perfected the art of turning the odds in his favour using his unique blend of street smarts, humour, and raw instinct. Here’s how Madhav Mishra went from a small-town lawyer to a legal genius:
Here are six fascinating ways Madhav Mishra manoeuvres through the labyrinth of criminal law to crack the toughest of cases:
Mastering the art of the unconventional
Madhav Mishra doesn’t play by the book; he rewrites it. Whether it’s re-investigating the crime scene or questioning witnesses overlooked by the police, his unconventional methods often uncover hidden clues that become the linchpin of his defence strategy.
Reading people like a book
Madhav’s sharp intuition allows him to gauge people’s motives and intentions instantly. He can detect lies in a heartbeat and is adept at reading body language, which gives him a tactical edge during cross-examinations.
Using humour as a weapon
Court mein ladte waqt meri biwi ka chehra yaad aata hai, dono jagah samjhaane ka kaam hai.Madhav Mishra’s wry humour makes him both relatable and disarming. It helps him win over clients, disarm opponents, and catch them off guard, allowing him to extract critical information effortlessly.
Empathy as a strategy
Madhav doesn’t just defend his clients; he understands them. He delves deep into their backstories, empathising with their circumstances, which allows him to present compelling, human-centred arguments that resonate with the jury.
The power of persistence
Madhav Mishra never gives up. Even when the evidence is stacked against his client, he keeps digging, keeps questioning, and keeps fighting until he finds a way out.
Navigating his way through challenges
No matter how tough, complex, or seemingly unwinnable the case, Madhav Mishra always rises to the occasion, like a phoenix from the ashes. This time, he faces not one but two formidable opponents, rival attorneys portrayed by Mita Vashisht and Shweta Basu Prasad. Yet, even when the odds are stacked against him, Madhav’s relentless pursuit of the truth and his unyielding spirit ensure that he never backs down, making him the quintessential underdog hero of the courtroom.
