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 🙂

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.

First of all, hats off to the director Leena Yadav and Anubhav Chopra for choosing this case to make it into a documentary. The case is about the demise of 11 members of the same family. Was it a mass suicide? If yes, then why? It is the premises of this documentary. Can't believe this was really happened. I was scared specially while watching the 2nd episode. Score by Rahman was superb, it intrigued me to the screen.

The voice over was done perfectly, it was giving that feel of horror. The editing was sharp and that's why it's very engaging. This has also showed that some media houses can do anything even in a sensitive situation only for their TRP. But, these are all secondary things. The primary and best thing of this documentary is its unbelievable true case. I think it's A Must Watch.

DISCLAIMER : Please DON'T watch this ALONE at NIGHT.

The Burari deaths shook me like it did the whole of India in 2018 when the news broke of a mass suicide of all 11 members of a family. Although I knew a lot about the case as it started breaking, this documentary covers almost all the aspects by tracing the family's history and showing the whys and hows of the suicide. It's a 3-episode mind-numbing documentary that should be seen and discussed as much as we can. Props to the makers for discussing journalistic ethics and mental health.
