Kirti Kulhari and Pankaj Tripathi starrer Criminal Justice Behind Closed Doors, produced by Applause Entertainment has won the honour for ‘Best Asian Drama Series for Regional/ International Market’ at Content Asia Awards 2021. Content Asia Awards are organized for the Asian market by the Content Asia team and are an extension of their day-in-day-out year-round dedicated focus on and connection with Asia’s content industry.
Apurva Asrani who wrote the series is over the moon. “This was not an easy story to tell. We wove in uncomfortable domestic truths into a murder mystery and we were anxious about the reception. But the show did exceedingly well on the platform Disney Hotstar, and our biggest viewership was women–housewives, grandmothers, teenagers alike, who were our target audience. But this particular recognition has turned the international spotlight back on marital abuse and gaslighting in India. The irony that the news came on the day that the Chhattisgarh High Court declared Marital Rape NOT a crime. India really needs to take this discussion out of closed doors.”
