Criminal Justice Season 4 Ending Explained: Is Anju the real culprit of Roshini or was it Dr Raj's secret plan?
Criminal Justice season 4, starring Pankaj Tripathi, Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla, Asha Negi, and others, has been the talk of the town ever since its first 3 episodes were released. With a unique release approach followed by the makers, a new episode is released every Thursday. The last episode, released on July 3 rd, took the show a notch higher with a notable plot twist. If you've seen the show and are still confused about the climax, then keep scrolling.
Roshini was found dead after Ira's birthday
The show revolves around the broken marriage of Dr. Raj Nagpal (Zeeshan Ayyub) and Anju Nagpal (Surveen Chawla). Their daughter Ira is suffering from Asperger's and is taken care of by Roshni (Asha Negi). She is also a nurse at Raj's hospital, and they have an open love affair. Anju lives in the opposite house and often visits Raj's house to check on her daughter.
Things start to complicate after Ira's birthday party, where Roshni was found dead and Dr. Raj was discovered holding her body. Being the prime suspect, he was taken into custody. Anju hires advocate Madhav Mishra (Pankaj Tripathi) to save her husband.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Roshini was jealous of Anju as Raj was neither giving her a divorce nor accepting Roshini in front of everyone.
Anju admits to murdering Roshini
The first twist came when Anju, who was the second suspect, admitted that she had murdered Roshini after seeing that Roshini was intentionally poisoning her daughter. While fighting, Anju confessed to accidentally hurting Roshini's neck with a scalpel, which led to her death.
But the final twist came when Raj went to meet Madhav Mishra to thank him for saving his life. He revealed that his wife Anju had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and it was at stage 4. After this, a confused Madhav reviewed the entire case and concluded that Anju had taken the blame on herself to save her husband and daughter.
Anju's final confession
Later, when Madhav goes to the hospital to meet Anju, she confesses that it was her husband who caught Roshini poisoning their daughter and murdered her. When he begged Anju to save him, she decided to take the blame on herself as she was dying due to cancer, and she wanted someone to be there to take care of their daughter.
Although Madhav recorded the entire confession, he deleted it for the sake of this family.

Is Lee Jong Suk's magic still alive? 5 reasons K-drama Law and City could be worth the wait as actor makes comeback after three years
Actor Lee Jong Suk is returning to the OTT screen after a long three-year wait. The K-drama Law and the City marks Lee's next shot at Disney+ content after Big Mouth in 2022, which was loved by fans but had critics split. Now with this upcoming tvN title, the actor is slipping back into one of his most cherished avatars, the lawyer. Starring alongside Mun Ka Young, Kang You Seok, Ryu Hye Young, and Im Seong Jae, the show follows five young lawyers in Seocho juggling work stress and personal life. Also read: No K-dramas for India? JioHotstar snubs new slate of originals, from Nine Puzzles to Our Movie; frustrated viewers threaten to cancel subscription Law and City is one of the most hyped K-dramas of the year, partly because it marks Lee's return to his 'soft boy era', something fans have been waiting for him to revisit after his recent gigs into darker, more mature roles. His earlier hits like Pinocchio, While You Were Sleeping, and W: Two Worlds are what made him a global favourite long before the Hallyu wave went mainstream. But with his limited project choices and rare appearances, some fans were left disappointed with his long absence from the scene. A legal drama with slice-of-life comfort, a genre still largely untouched in the industry. Unlike high-profile legal shows packed with dramatic courtroom battles, action scenes, blood, and grit, this one keeps it real and relatable. It focuses on the everyday grind, the burnout, ethical dilemmas, and struggles associate lawyers face while simply trying to make a living. It's one of the most grounded takes we've seen in a while, and that's what makes it hit close to home, making the binge all the more worth it. Speaking of his character, Lee in an interview said, 'Although I played a lawyer in my last drama, that story didn't really focus on the character's job as a lawyer. In this drama, I fully act out the job of a lawyer, but there aren't many scenes with heated courtroom arguments or rebuttals.' Also read: Squid Game director reveals real-world figures who inspired VIPs: 'They no longer hide behind a curtain' Nothing's more satisfying than when the lead pairing just clicks and matches exactly what fans were hoping for. In Law and City, Lee Jong Suk could be seen romancing Moon Ga Young, and their contrasting energies are already turning heads. The True Beauty star brings her playful energy, while Lee keeps it calm and composed, just like his character, a logical and emotionally detached lawyer. Young plays the passionate, idealistic rookie. Lee even praised her in an interview, teasing that she's 'the most senior among us' thanks to her 20 years in the industry (she started as a child actor). He joked, 'I often asked her, 'Was my acting okay?'' The best part about Law and City is that the screenwriter, Lee Seung Hyun, is a practising lawyer himself. He helped the cast understand the ground reality, offering raw and real insights into how cases are actually handled, far from the romanticised courtroom drama we usually see on screen. From courtroom etiquette to the nitty-gritty of legal work and office politics, everything is well-researched and grounded. In an interview, Moon Ga Young specifically pointed out how having a professional on set helped her. She said she got to ask 'a lot of detailed questions like the appropriate tone for courtroom arguments or the atmosphere depending on the case.' In today's hustle culture, healing K-dramas like Our Unwritten Seoul, Welcome to Samdalri, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, and others have found a solid fanbase. Law and City is clearly aiming for that same space, exploring themes of friendship, growth, and connection. Beyond the legal jargon and courtroom drama, what really stands out are the fun banters over soju tables, shared hotpot dinners, and the personal journeys of five associate lawyers trying to figure life out. It's about emotional space, shared meals, and small moments of self-discovery in the middle of professional chaos. Law and City will premiere on July 5 on Disney+ Hotstar, and JioHotstar.

‘Trash TV' takes off as audiences crave a peek into celebrity lives
Video streaming platforms are increasingly seeing returns from the specific sub-genre of reality shows that provide a sneak peek into celebrity lives and offer a sense of vicarious joy to audiences sitting at home. Titles like The Traitors (Prime Video) and Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives (Netflix) that build on the legacy of shows such as Bigg Boss (JioHotstar) are specially designed to peep into the lives of the rich and famous and invite much criticism and trolling online, often even labelled as 'trash TV'. However, industry experts say their charm and business appeal among audiences who crave high-end drama are unmistakable. According to media consulting firm Ormax, The Traitors, a reality show hosted by Karan Johar where a group of chosen traitors try to deceive the faithfuls and sabotage their efforts to win, was the third most watched OTT original series in the week of June 16-22, with a viewership of 4.2 million. The third season of Bigg Boss was the most-watched Indian unscripted show across streaming platforms in 2024, with a viewership of 17.8 million. 'These shows are usually built around one key insight: spectacle sells. The concept doesn't always chase critical acclaim - it chases eyeballs, engagement, and virality. Whether it's the drama of Bigg Boss, the glamour-turned-chaos of Fabulous Lives, or the backstabbing thrill of The Traitors, these shows are designed to be addictive, meme-worthy, and endlessly discussed online," Neelesh Pednekar, co-founder and head of digital media at Social Pill, a digital marketing agency said. All of these are extremely valuable from a business point of view, Pednekar added. Platforms need stickiness and social chatter, and this genre delivers both. The audience might hate-watch, binge, troll, or secretly enjoy it - but they're talking about it, reacting to it, and sharing clips across social media. That constant digital noise creates discoverability, which in turn helps justify ad spends, integrations, and subscriptions. Captivating audience Brijen Desai, associate vice-president, White Rivers Media, a digital marketing agency said reality shows like Bigg Boss, The Traitors, and Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives revolve around high-stakes social dynamics, unscripted conflict, and aspirational lifestyles that captivate audiences. Platforms invest in these formats because they consistently drive viewer engagement and extend watch time, creating reliable opportunities for advertising and brand partnerships. 'Their episodic nature, with regular twists and drama, ensures audiences return week after week, making them valuable content assets. These shows tap into curiosity, escapism, and fascination with human behaviour under pressure," Desai said. Despite criticism, the commercial appeal remains significant, with these shows securing prominent advertising budgets. They hold important positions in brand spend strategies, combining broad reach with chances for deeper audience connection. Monetisation is competitive but achievable due to their ability to engage diverse demographics. Other advantages come with the fact that these shows often feature celebrities or public figures, which gives them built-in reach. Pair that with low-to-mid production costs compared to fiction series, and streaming platforms have chanced upon a high-ROI content format. A streaming platform executive said the shows build on the aquarium syndrome, or the need to look at other people's lives, especially the rich and famous. This is a trend catching up even with rural India, who want to live vicariously by tracking the lives of urban folk via platforms like Instagram, the executive added. To be sure, entertainment industry experts point out these shows invite criticism because they're often perceived as lowbrow or manufactured, especially by audiences who value "serious" content. They're also easy targets for trolling because the drama can feel over-the-top, the conflicts sometimes appear contrived, and the people involved often play heightened versions of themselves. But the irony is that the criticism is part of the success formula. The trolling, hate-watching, and memes drive viewership. 'It's very clear that sensationalism sells. This clearly comes from the innate human nature to be voyeuristic. You feel like you're watching them (the celebrities) through a window or a peephole on a door. They don't really know that you're there, but you are watching their lives play out in front of you," said Sharat Kumar, director, Crazy Few Films, a commercial and film production company. Kumar added that these shows are at the top of the content funnel right now in an era where platforms and networks don't really know what works. Plus, they are easy to monetize as the 24-hour viewing of Bigg Boss proves. 'You get to see the extremities of where humans can go. There is no limit to language, no limit to actions or violence. All of this brings in a certain excitement, exhilaration and titillation," Kumar pointed out.
