    Excellent Story; Remarkable Cinematography; Rubbish Storytelling!

    Amazing story with some story that needs to be heard! Human at their most brutal sight and without even a beat from their heart. Rarest of the Rarest!

    However very bad way of narrating the story! If I had not got recommendations from relevant people K might have stopped watching it the story was breaking every single time something came to surface. First two episodes were nothing but unnecessarily vague way of projecting the main hook of the storyline.

    But i will have to commend the cinematography and the footage collection. Very much gave the whole thing a life and did not only had to walk on the story tellers abilities.

    Nonetheless, it is a Must Watch, even to put a tribute to the subject!

    Thrill

    True story picturised well but old footages ,as per that time,are not upto today's standards. Eventhen worth watching.

    However the *MMM* seems to have been falsely implicated as there are no eyewitness nor the evidence picturised evidences are as per today's time.

    Moreover he was already behind the bars for more than 30 years now so needs review or mercy.

    One can watch and enlighten oneself as far as human psyche is concerned.

    Well tried as brought the real characters and their verbatim presentation .

    Once again worth watching and analysing. Common man ,super woman , different beliefs n societies ...

    Plain boring!!!!

    This series' is of four episodes . Each of half hour long. This could have been easily a two episodes series because there was nothing in the story. No suspense no twist nothing.

    A guy murders his wife because he will inherit the property after she is dead and he gets arrested after three year. Nothing more to say in the story.

    You see crime happening due to property or some dispute . This series is same nothing special. You cry out loud and wait and wait and wait for twist or suspense but there is nothing for you. At the end i would suggest you to watch "the burari case" on Netflix or the Indian predator.

    Truth Revealing

    Great as viewers will come to know that how a middle class man will be set in the trap by wealthy family. Rich can perform more heinous crimes. Even after three years where were her mother, husband and daughters. Why misra needed to put her in wooden box as the length of the hole is so vast that it could be done without wooden box. Rich people killed her daughter with the help of maid of workers and if fear as misra was already fighting seven cases filled , in fear he performed her last ritual and that is taken advantage by rich people. If they were so lovable why were not leaving their own daughter to live peacefully. Why she was highly angry on them as she made him power of attorney. No question against their family members. One sided game were going on against mishra. Why he put in jail when Manu Sharma is out.

    Missed Opportunities: A Review of Dancing on the Grave

    "Dancing On The Grave" is a docuseries that re-examines the sensational case of Shakereh Khaleeli, who went missing in 1991 and was later discovered buried alive in a wooden casket at her home in Bangalore, India, with her second husband as the prime suspect.

    The docuseries about Shakereh's death is good, but it could have been better. It focuses too much on recreating scenes and imagining things, instead of talking about important things like religion and class differences. The show is curious about the details, but it loses focus and doesn't trust the audience. It needed more grace and reserve when dealing with such a haunting subject. Overall, it's still a good true-crime show for fans, but it could have been even better if it had focused more on important issues and trusted the audience more.
