Aakhri Sach

In a nutshell, if you had found the Burari case intriguing, this show will not disappoint you.

The screenplay is a nice adoption of the original story where the key details have been preserved while making changes where there was an opportunity to add the fiction angle and also spin a meaningful story. The narration is good and sets up the premise to make you want to pursue the story despite knowing it from the Netflix documentary. While the facts were known, a story is always better when told in a way where you can perceive the psyche of the characters from their own PoV, even if it was actually the director's cut.

The Netflix documentary was really good and actually compliments this show. Without that initial foundation this show wouldn't really have the impact it is meant to have. However, documentaries are just facts and that was what it was in this case too. So a webseries that actually brings those characters to life and makes them narrate their own story..that's the main reason you don't want to miss this.

Overall a good watch, however, some characters haven't done much justice to their roles. And adding unnecessary characters and giving them screen space was a turn off. Nobody is interested in the personal lives of characters other than the victims here, so adding that extra background story for Tamannah's character was totally a filler and deviates the viewer's attention.

One star deducted for the weekly drops. I read some of the negative user reviews and realised that these are all kneejerk reactions to the first 2 episodes.

The makers have stayed close to the real events and created a compelling tale that will give you goosebumps. Tamanna looks monotone at the beginning but gradually comes to her own as her character evolves. Abhishek Banerjee is spectacular, he keeps getting better with every project. The ensemble cast looks okay, but could have been better (going by the ensemble casts of other realistic shows). Don't compare it with the documentary. Both have different treatments.

Based on true events. Throws light on how trauma and disturbed mental health can lead to disastrous consequences if not treated at the right time!!! It's high time people understand that mental wellbeing is as important as physical wellbeing!!

There's also a documentary on this story on Netflix!

It shows how a mentally disturbed man goes on to make his family also believe in his stories and all together take their lives committing mass suicide one night!! The series is kind off slow paced. Creating another story line of the inspector was not required since it feels very incomplete. Thamanna's character isn't as strong as I expected it to be.

Portraying real-life tragedies like the Burari mass murder case for entertainment purposes requires a delicate and thoughtful approach. Unfortunately, adaptations such as the web series "Akhri Sach" often fail to uphold this responsibility. The concern isn't merely about the act of adaptation itself, but the manner in which it is executed.

Tragic events like the Burari case involve the loss of real lives, the pain of surviving family members, and the ripple effect on the community. Such adaptations risk oversimplifying complex situations and reducing them to mere entertainment. This can be deeply distressing for those affected, as it undermines the gravity of their experiences.

While entertainment can serve as a medium to explore human experiences, it's crucial to recognize the line between respectful storytelling and sensationalism. The creators of such adaptations should consider the impact of their work on the memory of the victims and the emotional well-being of the families involved.

Rather than exploiting the shock value of real tragedies, responsible storytelling should aim to shed light on the human aspects of these events. The focus should be on understanding the motivations, circumstances, and the broader context that led to such incidents. This requires thorough research, empathy, and a commitment to honoring the truth.

In summary, the adaptation of real-life tragedies for entertainment purposes, like "Akhri Sach," can come across as inconsiderate and disrespectful. It's a reminder that creators have a responsibility to handle such topics with care, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the impact on those affected. The goal should be to raise awareness, foster empathy, and encourage meaningful discussions, rather than sensationalize or trivialize profound human experiences.

Waitttt.... What's happening in this series?

I thought this series is based on the burari case. But it's going as a crime mafia thriller. This series is conceived in a wrong way. The crew never mentioned based on a true story so probably they just took the case and did their own treatment. The place where it fails is they failed to explain clearly that this is completely imaginary. And should have changed things like number of people died, their age, their background everything.

Anyways this series is not engaging or interesting. Tamannah low key poor acting. She did the same reactions she did in November story.
