1. Criminal Justice

Hotstar

Criminal Justice is a Hindi TV series on Hotstar with an ensemble cast consisting of big Bollywood names like Jackie Shroff, Pankaj Tripathi, and Vikrant Massey. The thriller TV series follows almost the exact same plot as HBO’s The Night Of. It also shares its story with the first season of a 2008 BBC series named Criminal Justice.
