Legal drama television shows in Hindi from India are available on Amazon Prime Video. Shefali Bhushan and Jayant Digambar Somalkar wrote and produced the TV show. Shriya Pilgaonkar Varun Mitra Sugandha Garg Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Satish Kaushik are the key actors in this series. It was released on April 20 2022. 

The plot centers on Kashaf Qazi Deepak Rana and Vandana Kathpalia three buddies from law school who frequently find themselves on opposite sides of the law. While Deepak represents Khanna & Khanna a renowned law firm with an affluent clientele Kashaf and Vandana operate a law center where they take on class action and humanitarian matters. Every episode of the show explores topics including rape artificial intelligence and water shortage and how those topics affect the characters' lives and morals.

According to Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express It is a well-produced acting program. My only criticism of the show is its unimaginative title Guilty Minds which seems out of place for a program that asserts that no one is guilty unless and unless proven guilty and even then it may not be. 

It is a huge victory in light of the times just because one of the main protagonists is Muslim; nonetheless anyone could have unresolved childhood trauma because religion caste and creed are not barriers.
It is refreshing to see the courtrooms of India depicted the way they are and hats off to showrunner Shefali Bhushan for that comments Abhimanyu Mathur of the Hindustan Times.

The Broken News (2022)

Aakash Khurana Kiran Kumar Jaideep Ahlawat Sonali Bendre Shriya Pilgaonkar Jay Upadhyay Indraneil Sengupta Taaruk Raina and Shriya Pilgaonkar feature in the 2022 Indian online series The Broken News in Hindi on ZEE5. It is a reimagining of the British television show Press. Both Mike Bartlett the author of the original and Sambit Mishra wrote it. Vinay Waikul is the director.

The Broken News portrays the struggle between two Mumbai-based Indian news outlets Awaaz Bharati and Josh 24/7. The hardships lies love and lives of a vibrant bunch of journalists are revealed.

Amina Qureshi an exceptionally reliable editor who upholds journalistic standards is the editor-in-chief of the news organization Awaaz Bharati. However the channel is constantly broken and bleeding. According to TRPs Josh 24/7 run by Dipankar Sanyal is India's top channel yet it is sensationalist and frequently ignores fact-checking.

Josh only cares about viewers and eyeballs so they are powerful and profitable. Josh is only interested in these things around-the-clock. Radha Bhargava lies halfway between these two polarities. The show shows all of their lives as they struggle to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives aspirations and morality all while dealing with the constant pressure of the news cycle and an industry that strives to be ahead of the curve despite confronting uncertain times.
