Editing this after three months. This looks like a rip off off 'The Night Of' also streaming on hotstar,at least the first episode is fairly identical. Hope the original turns out to be a better fare.
As for the adaptation, it could have been lot better. The entire jail sequences have no bearing on the case , just serving as a parallel track with no motive. Minus these, the series could have been more taut , finishing in 6 or 7 episodes. The final judgement itself is contradictory. How can the accused be not guilty of criminal assault and yet guilty of murder? He should have been either guilty of both charges or not guilty of both charges. Of the cast, Pankaj Tripathi outstanding. The rest are just about OK.
