From OMG 2 To Criminal Justice, Top 5 Courtroom Dramas Streaming Now On OTT

Last Updated: Discover 5 compelling courtroom dramas and movies on OTT—from Jolly LLB to OMG 2—that bring justice, satire, and powerful storytelling to your screen. Indian cinema has always thrived on the thunder of courtroom dialogues — from Sunny Deol's iconic roar of 'Taarikh pe Taarikh!" to Arshad Warsi's deadpan satire in Jolly LLB. There's something irresistible about legal dramas — the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the courtroom, the slow-burn revelations, and the sheer thrill of truth battling power. If you're a fan of edge-of-the-seat testimonies, intense cross-examinations, or courtroom chaos that's both heartwarming and hilarious, here are five courtroom-centric gems streaming across OTT platforms that are sure to deliver a gripping watch: 1. Kyo Kii… Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta – Prime Video Govinda brings chaos and charm to this David Dhawan comedy with a courtroom twist. As Raj Malhotra, a lawyer who lies his way to the top, Govinda's world flips when his young son wishes he could only speak the truth — and poof, the wish comes true. What follows is pure madness in the courtroom as he's forced to argue cases without bending facts. With laugh-out-loud moments and a surprisingly poignant ending, this one flips the legal genre on its head. 2. Criminal Justice: A Family Matter (Season 4) – JioCinema (Hotstar) Pankaj Tripathi returns as the unassuming yet brilliant Madhav Mishra in a season that delves into the shadows of a seemingly perfect family. When a nurse is murdered, emotions, betrayals, and secrets spill out in court. Tripathi's understated power and the show's layered storytelling make this a binge-worthy legal drama where every witness could be lying — or telling the brutal truth. 3. All The Best Pandya – ShemarooMe A Gujarati courtroom comedy that surprises with its warmth. When a father's honour is at stake, a son takes the matter to court — not to punish, but to protect. Set against a backdrop of generational clashes, the film weaves comedy and courtroom banter with heartfelt emotion. A delightful sleeper hit that leaves you smiling and introspecting. 4. OMG 2 – Netflix Part satire, part social reform, OMG 2 dares to take religion and education into the courtroom. When a teenager is expelled on charges of obscenity, his father (Pankaj Tripathi again) challenges the system with help from a divine guide (played by Akshay Kumar). It's not just about a case — it's about the stigma around sex education in India. Bold, timely, and emotionally moving, this film argues for truth with the sincerity of a prayer. 5. Jolly LLB – YouTube Before Jolly LLB 2 made headlines, this sleeper hit laid the foundation. Arshad Warsi shines as a lawyer chasing fame who finds himself taking on a powerful legal system after a tragic hit-and-run. Sharp writing, dark humour, and moments of quiet rebellion make Jolly LLB a courtroom classic that resonates even years later. These courtroom stories aren't just about legal technicalities — they capture the chaos of truth, the complexity of morality, and the raw human need for justice. Whether you're in it for a laugh, a good cry, or a wake-up call, justice is streaming near you. Court is in session. First Published: July 05, 2025, 19:58 IST

5 Heartwarming Films & Shows That Celebrate Fatherhood This Father's Day

Last Updated: Celebrate Father's Day 2025 with 5 heartwarming films and shows that capture the silent strength and unconditional love of dads. Perfect for a family binge-watch. Father's Day isn't just about grand gestures—it's about recognizing the quiet strength, the daily sacrifices, and the often-unnoticed ways our fathers show up for us. Much like the age-old tale of Shravan Kumar's devotion to his parents, Indian storytelling continues to reflect this deep-rooted, cultural respect for paternal figures. And while the world has changed, the essence of fatherhood—love without loudness, care without conditions—remains timeless. If you're looking for the perfect way to spend this Father's Day, here are five heartwarming films and shows that capture the many shades of fatherhood—from the playful to the profound, the traditional to the modern. 1. Paa Paa on Netflix is an emotional rollercoaster that flips expectations. Amitabh Bachchan, in a never-seen-before avatar, plays Auro—a young boy battling a rare genetic condition that causes accelerated ageing. His father, played by Abhishek Bachchan, is an estranged figure who slowly reconnects with his son, making up for lost time in subtle yet touching ways. Their bond unfolds like a poem, filled with humour, heartbreak, and healing. Watch it to celebrate love that arrives late but lands deep. 2. Piku Piku, streaming on SonyLIV, is a quietly brilliant film that redefines father-daughter dynamics. It's not flashy—it's real. Deepika Padukone plays the dutiful yet exasperated daughter of Amitabh Bachchan's hypochondriac father. What makes this story special is its honesty—how caregiving isn't always romanticized but still rooted in love. Their road trip becomes a metaphor for navigating life's bumps together. It's witty, wise, and wonderfully emotional. 3. All The Best Pandya All The Best Pandya on ShemarooMe is a hidden gem in Gujarati cinema. It captures the everyday dynamics of a typical Indian household, focusing on the relationship between a stern, old-school father and his carefree son. Their banter feels lifted from real life—relatable, funny, and occasionally frustrating. But what makes this film shine is how it unravels into a courtroom comedy with a big heart, reminding us that even the sternest fathers love more than they show. It's the kind of film that sneaks up on you with laughter and leaves you with moist eyes. 4. Wake Up Sid Wake Up Sid, available on Netflix, may not scream 'Father's Day watch" at first glance, but look closer and you'll see a moving portrait of paternal love in the background. While Ranbir Kapoor's Sid finds his purpose, his father—played with quiet restraint—never stops believing in him, even when he doesn't say much. It's the kind of father many of us grew up with: not always expressive, but always there when it matters. This one's a must-watch for those who realize later in life how much their dad did in silence. 5. Yeh Meri Family Yeh Meri Family on Amazon MiniTV is pure nostalgia wrapped in 90s warmth. Through the eyes of a 12-year-old boy, it paints a heartfelt picture of middle-class Indian family life. The father in this series is both disciplinarian and softie, a mix we all know too well. Whether it's scolding his son for a bad grade or secretly leaving a chocolate on his pillow after a long day, this dad reminds us that love is in the little things. It's funny, honest, and will probably remind you of your own childhood home. This Father's Day, skip the clichés and dive into stories that feel real. These films and series aren't just entertainment—they're a reminder of the many ways fathers shape our lives. So, sit down with your dad, press play, and celebrate the superhero who doesn't always wear a cape—but always has your back. First Published:
