Hotstar Specials' Criminal Justice released yesterday and has reacted quite a buzz. The performances of Jackie Shroff, Pankaj Tripathi and Vikrant Massey are being lauded by audiences as well as critics. Some are even comparing it with Netflix's Sacred Games. The show narrates the story of Vikrant's Aditya, who is a student who drives a taxi to support his family, but gets embroiled in a murder mystery.
The country has been celebrating three festivals today - Navaratri, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi. Stars too joined in the celebrations, uploading photos dressed in traditional clothes and sending out wishes to their fans via social media.
Joining the growing list of Pankaj Tripathi's admirers is actress Janhvi Kapoor, who says she is extremely fond of the actor and told him as much at a party recently. She found an unconventional way of doing it, though.
Here are the entertainment news highlights for the day.

Criminal Justice, the new series on Hotstar, drags a bit, every now and then, but manages to save grace, courtesy actors' performance. Watch it before Riz Ahmed and John Turturro's The Night Of. It may make you like it a little better that way. Otherwise, watch it for Jackie Shroff, Pankaj Tripathi and Vikrant Massey.
