Format
The show features common people seeking justice. It opens with the anchor saying a few words about the importance of expressing one’s needs and concerns to find what they need. She then invites a person onto the set to share their life experiences. He or She talks about some unfortunate incidents that have occurred in their life, something that led them to the point where they had to come in front of the camera to find solutions to their problems. After he/she says everything they need to, people concerned with the said problem are invited onto the set. They may be friends or family. They are given a chance to say their side of the story.
Once the anchor listens to both sides, she expresses her views on the topic and reprimands those who she thinks is guilty. She allows them to let out their feelings so that they can come to a conclusion. The panel leaves the set only after finding a solution. In some episodes, celebrities are invited where they are given a platform to talk about the struggles they have faced in life.
