The Star Cast of the upcoming web series, “Guilty Minds” visited Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, to participate in a Panel Discussion on the topic, “The Courtroom: Cinema vs Reality”.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Ms. Shefali Bhushan, Director, “Guilty Minds”, stated, “Coming from a family background of lawyers, I have closely observed the life of lawyers and I’m very well aware of the way in which legal proceedings take place in our country. Though Indian movies usually glorify courtroom dramas and sometimes portray unrealistic situations, we have made a sincere attempt to keep the web series as close to reality as possible. Through this web series, we would like to raise questions in the minds of audience about the legal system and create an awareness about the same.”
Sharing her views on the occasion, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Lead Actress, “Guilty Minds”, said, “The series is an honest and genuine endeavor to bring out the reality of courtrooms. It is not just a courtroom drama but a story of human relationships and emotions which is thought-provoking as well as entertaining. We urge the audience to watch the web series and are looking forward to their feedback.”
Varun Mitra, Lead Actor, Guilty Minds, said, “We are glad to be present here today and address the young audience of Amity as the story involves two young lawyers who, otherwise, best friends, stand against each other in the courtroom and are thorough professionals. The web series will definitely find a strong connect with the audience and they will be able to relate with the same as the characters portrayed by us are very genuine and close to real life characters.”
Welcoming the guests on this occasion, Dr. D.K. Bandopadhyay, Chairman, Amity Law School, averred, “We, at Amity, are privileged that the team of “Guilty Minds” has visited us and we all have gathered here today to discuss the reality of the courtrooms. With the blessings of our honourable Founder President, Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, Amity Law School has become one of the best law schools in country, today and we are certain that our law students will benefit a lot from the panel discussion which revolves around the reality of courtrooms and the legal system of India.”
