Crime investigations and courtroom trials have one thing in common – Their search for the truth. This search for truth is what makes movies and series based on trials and investigations interesting to audiences. Whether you like intelligent crime thrillers like Code M or courtroom dramas like ‘The Verdict: State Vs Nanavati’ ZEE5 has got you covered.

Code M, starring Jennifer Winget and Rajat Kapoor in leading roles, is the right blend of action and investigation. It keeps the audiences interested while touching upon important topics of caste and religious discrimination within the military. Jennifer Winget as the army lawyer uncovers a case that turns out to be truly significant.

The Chargesheet: Innocent or Guilty is another show that investigates a murder. This time it is the high-profile murder of a national champion athlete, Shiraz Malik. The series is sensational and scandalous with double crossings, backstabbings and a deadly extra-marital affair, all in eight episodes.

When you talk about criminals it doesn’t get bigger than gangsters.
