House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths

#sanjuzzreviews #houseofsecrets

Based on true events, this docuseries takes a deep dive into the horrific deaths of 11 members of a single family in Burari- Delhi.

3 generations wiped out in a single night, ghastly.. ain't it? This is one of the most bizarre & chilling cases to come to light in recent times.

Was it murder? Was it a ritual mass suicide or were there any occult practices at play. Why would a seemingly normal family,happy & financially well off suddenly commit suicide is what the series tries to decipher.

This was a one of the most sensational cases which rocked the country after the Arushi murder case and the Nithari killings.

This 3 part series is disturbing as much as it is intriguing. Well presented too. Not for the faint hearted !!

Adios 🙂

This had me hooked within the first 20 minutes. I can't believe this is a true story - so very sad and mind boggling.

The story is very gripping and thought provoking. The actual documentary was decent but sometimes showed the same images over and over.

A truly disturbing true crime story of the deaths of an entire family. The documentary was well made and interviewed the relevant parties. Though the last episode focused heavily on psychology and speculation, the first two episodes were utterly captivating.

The most disgusting part related this entire real catastrophe was media & how they ran in a cat & mouse race for winning their audience by going beyond fake reporting (there are true exceptions as well). I guess movie industry have got a sensational topic to come up with a film now. While their relatives explaining how heartbroken they're my eyes were filled with water. Everyone was praising them, about their goodness , society centric approach & How it ended. An eye opener for society where at times our emotions takes over the facts & we blindly crosses the limits of reality & starts living an imaginary life. The only thing I can say is it's sadden. Please try not to cry.

I was dismissive when I stared this docu-series. My expectations were low. The first episode was all about the bizarre story and I lost interest in some parts. The second episode was filmed as the sensational conclusion which had led me almost to loose faith in humanity. BUT. But what redeemed the series for me was the third episode. It brought light to the actual reason and which I could accept and digest. The important issue that needs to be addressed in India and all over the world. Mental health.
