Aakhri Sach

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.

After indulging in "House of Secrets" on Netflix, I couldn't help but feel that this particular series was a letdown, deliberately maximizing its dullness. My anticipation dwindled rapidly within the very first episode. It's a true shame because the core story holds such promise, but the execution fell flat, leaving me thoroughly disappointed.

The original "House of Secrets" on Netflix was a rollercoaster of suspense and intrigue, a show so captivating that you'd find yourself glued to your seat, eagerly awaiting each twist and turn. It kept you on the edge of your seat, with a narrative that effortlessly drew you in and held your attention.

Given the stark contrast in quality between the two series, I can't help but think that they should reconsider releasing any further episodes of this disappointing adaptation. It's disheartening to see such a promising story and plotline mishandled in this manner. Perhaps, they should take a cue from the original and strive for the same level of gripping storytelling that made "House of Secrets" on Netflix an absolute must-watch.

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.

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.

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.
