Dancing on the Grave

This documentary was well done in my opinion. I cant agree with others who said it was boring. What do people want? Explosions? Shootings? Fighting? I thought it was a thought provoking account of a tragedy that happened over 20 years ago. Of course I had not heard of this "crime" before.

The biggest problem is it is difficult to believe the authorities. It is conceivable that they accept bribes from family or friends of the victim. Prior to watching the 3rd episode I truly believe that this little man killed his wife. Now I am not so sure. Unless I can physically see the evidence of her scratch marks in the coffin, or that he gave her the sleeping pills, it really is hard to prove. Of course burying her was awful but it does not mean he killed her. He could be charged with tampering with a body. He did seem to love her and she looked happy in pictures. On a side note, Shakereh's mother and daughter are gorgeous as was Shakerah.

There also may be an element of the caste system at play. He was a darker, homely looking man with not much money (it seems). She was, for a lack of a better word, royalty. Who knows. Maybe the husband has me fooled.

Great as viewers will come to know that how a middle class man will be set in the trap by wealthy family. Rich can perform more heinous crimes. Even after three years where were her mother, husband and daughters. Why misra needed to put her in wooden box as the length of the hole is so vast that it could be done without wooden box. Rich people killed her daughter with the help of maid of workers and if fear as misra was already fighting seven cases filled , in fear he performed her last ritual and that is taken advantage by rich people. If they were so lovable why were not leaving their own daughter to live peacefully. Why she was highly angry on them as she made him power of attorney. No question against their family members. One sided game were going on against mishra. Why he put in jail when Manu Sharma is out.

Amazing story with some story that needs to be heard! Human at their most brutal sight and without even a beat from their heart. Rarest of the Rarest!

However very bad way of narrating the story! If I had not got recommendations from relevant people K might have stopped watching it the story was breaking every single time something came to surface. First two episodes were nothing but unnecessarily vague way of projecting the main hook of the storyline.

But i will have to commend the cinematography and the footage collection. Very much gave the whole thing a life and did not only had to walk on the story tellers abilities.

Nonetheless, it is a Must Watch, even to put a tribute to the subject!

Credit goes to the trailer maker who convinced me to watch this with his trailer design but the final product is a disappointment.

First of all, the parallelization of the stories doesn't blend in as it seems they had no clue how to tell the story.

Same thing repeated again and again. The talkers talking about the same thing doesn't giving any new details. Nothing new for the next episodes. After the first 15 minutes of the opening episode the documentary lost it's engagement.

Unnecessary back stories, to relate with the characters they have tried to establish back stories, which was filled with unnecessary details that failed to maintain the connection with the characters.

In short, if you want to know about the case you can do some digging on youtube no need to waste your time watching this.

"Dancing On The Grave" is a docuseries that re-examines the sensational case of Shakereh Khaleeli, who went missing in 1991 and was later discovered buried alive in a wooden casket at her home in Bangalore, India, with her second husband as the prime suspect.

The docuseries about Shakereh's death is good, but it could have been better. It focuses too much on recreating scenes and imagining things, instead of talking about important things like religion and class differences. The show is curious about the details, but it loses focus and doesn't trust the audience. It needed more grace and reserve when dealing with such a haunting subject. Overall, it's still a good true-crime show for fans, but it could have been even better if it had focused more on important issues and trusted the audience more.
