Criminal Justice season 4 finale wraps up on a strong note, netizens praise Surveen Chawla's performance

The recently released finale of Criminal Justice 4 wraps up the season with a quiet yet powerful conclusion, staying true to the show’s signature slow-burn narrative style.

The latest season of Criminal Justice has delivered one of its most complex and gripping storylines to date. Now that all eight episodes are available on JioCinema, viewers finally have clarity on the central mystery — the murder of nurse Roshni Saluja.

The recently released finale of Criminal Justice 4 wraps up the season with a quiet yet powerful conclusion, staying true to the show’s signature slow-burn narrative style. Rather than opting for high-octane drama, the final episode leans into character depth and emotional resolution, offering a satisfying end to a season filled with suspense and intrigue.

What is season 4 about?

Criminal Justice's fourth season centres on Asha Negi's character Roshni Saluja's unexplained death. In a terrifying opening scene, Dr. Raj Nagpal (played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) is found holding Roshni's bloody body, making him the prime suspect in what appears to be a straightforward murder case.

Viewers were particularly struck by Surveen Chawla's nuanced performance amid the courtroom drama and suspense that was playing out. Her portrayal, which was widely praised for its honesty and subtle intensity, touched a nerve and gave the already compelling story a deeper level of depth.

Characters and their roles explained

Throughout the season, Surveen’s character had her share of complex, layered moments, but it’s in the finale that she truly shines. One particular scene—set on a park bench opposite Pankaj Tripathi—stood out for its quiet emotional depth. There are no grand declarations or heavy theatrics; instead, the mood is understated and contemplative, and that simplicity gave the scene its remarkable strength.

Dr Raj maintains his innocence throughout the investigation, but the evidence seems stacked against him. The complex web of relationships surrounding the case makes it difficult for anyone to determine the real truth behind Roshni's death.

Viewers reaction

Audience reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Many viewers described Surveen’s performance in the finale as “phenomenal” and “tremendous.” One user specifically highlighted the park bench sequence as “mind blowing,” while others appreciated how she maintained the season’s suspense with a performance that felt grounded and believable.

What resonated most with viewers this time was Surveen Chawla’s compelling performance, which struck a chord for its honesty and restrained power.

Ending explained

The finale stands out for not going overboard. It decides to remain focused on the characters and let their journeys speak for themselves rather than concluding with needless twists or dramatic fanfare. That tone is reflected in Surveen Chawla's performance, which is quiet, real, and strong without ever having to be overt.
