Best Hindi TV series on Hotstar
Editor’s note: We will keep adding to this list of the best Hindi shows on Hotstar as and when new ones are announced.
1. Criminal Justice
Hotstar
Criminal Justice is a Hindi TV series on Hotstar with an ensemble cast consisting of big Bollywood names like Jackie Shroff, Pankaj Tripathi, and Vikrant Massey. The thriller TV series follows almost the exact same plot as HBO’s The Night Of. It also shares its story with the first season of a 2008 BBC series named Criminal Justice. So in a sense, this is a Hindi remake of both of those shows. The Hotstar version of the TV series tells the story of Aditya (Vikrant Massey), a cab driver who has a one-night stand with his passenger Sanaya (Madhurima Roy). He spends the night at her place but when he wakes up, he finds himself in a pool of her blood. Soon the cops pin Sanya’s murder on him and its up to his lawyer Madhav Mishra (Pankaj Tripathi) to get him acquitted from the charges.
2. Special Ops
Hotstar
This is a Hindi espionage thriller on Hotstar that tells the story of a RAW agent (Kay Kay Menon) who believes that a series of terror attacks have been perpetrated by a single terrorist. He is under an official inquiry though, for his exaggerated use of government funds. The series unfolds as Menon describes how he selected and trained a number of special operatives to bring down the anarchist behind the some of the biggest terrorist attacks in India and around the world. The eight-part show is a bit stretched, but Menon keeps the mood going and makes this an overall satisfactory watch.

The TV series is extremely engaging and will pull you in with its fantastic performances.
