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.

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.

This is a waste of time

Rather watch the Netflix documentary House of Secrets which is far better.

The issue with this series is most of the people knows what happened actually in real life. Whereas it is made from a filmy perspective.

Avoid if you don't want to waste your time. Acting is below par. Under utilizes Abhishek Banerjee. Also it should have ended in season 1 itself but has been dragged to season 2. The case was not so long. Also everyone knows it is still not solved why drag it to two or more season. While watching it seemed as an Indian daily soap more.

P. S. - should have not been made.

The worst way anyone can twist a tragic very straightforward story into a murder mystery. The original documentary on Netflix is 1000x better than this mockery of emotions and deceased people. Do not watch if you believe real docuseries , watch the original on Netflix rather. It was a mass suicide motivated by shared delusions of the family members. Tragically it was more related to mental health. It was. A foolish decision to remake something which is already so popular in its authentic form. If the producers were trying to show the police's mentality and course of action during that investigation, then it's little bit buyable.

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.
