Speaking at Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors' trailer launch, Pankaj Tripathi drew similarities between him and Madhav Mishra. He said, "I am Madhav Mishra in some sense. Like he gets to deal with irrelevant, small cases in the show, I also used to get these small roles in movies which were irrelevant. I never expected this character to become so popular. People from my drama school, whose opinion I value, appreciated the role."
Kirti Kulhari, who joins the cast in the latest season, shared that Anuradha Chandra was a departure from all the "outspoken" characters she has previously played.
"Anuradha Chandra is an intense role, but she doesn’t have a voice of her own. It is a character which is quite contrasting to the outspoken roles I am known for. I have minimum dialogues in the show and most of the talking I will be doing through my silences and my eyes. The show is whydunnit instead of being a whodunnit drama," Kirti said.

If you were expecting a taut, pacy legal thriller, Criminal Justice: Behind Close Doors is not it. Rather it is a super slow burn, where the detailing and the tiny pieces of the puzzle all come together slowly and steadily in a gratifying manner. This season takes its time, but it unravels beautifully. READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE
