Guilty Minds is an Indian Hindi-language legal drama streaming television series on Amazon Prime Video. The series is written and directed by Shefali Bhushan[1] and Jayant Digambar Somalkar. This series stars Shriya Pilgaonkar,[2] Varun Mitra, Sugandha Garg, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Satish Kaushik in the lead.[3][4][5]
The story revolves around Kashaf Quaze, Deepak Rana and Vandana Kathpalia, three law school friends who are often put opposite each other in the court of law. Kashaf and Vandana run a law centre where they take up class action and humanitarian cases while Deepak represents Khanna & Khanna a popular law firm with rich clients. Each episode in the series dwells with issues such as rape, artificial intelligence, water shortage and how those issues interact with the lives and principles of the characters.
Guilty Minds received positive to mixed reviews.
Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express writes, "This is a well-done, well-acted show. My only quibble is the banal title ‘Guilty Minds’, which feels un-nuanced for a show which says everyone is innocent until they are proved guilty, and maybe not even then. Just by virtue of the fact that one of the lead characters is Muslim, whose unresolved childhood trauma can belong to anyone– religion, caste, creed no bar– makes it a big win, given our times."[7]
Abhimanyu Mathur from Hindustan Times writes that "It is refreshing to see the courtrooms of India depicted as how they are, and hats off to showrunner Shefali Bhushan for that."[8]
