I don't know if this is a must watch for all. Without spoiling anything I can tell you this is one important piece of media that has a valid reason to exist.

It's not the best documentary or even very well made one. This could've easily been a 2 hour documentary film instead of a 3 episode mini series. There is a lot of false intrigue and beating around the bush going on in the first and second episode. Multiple interviews are saying the same thing again and again. But, the final episode justifies its existence.

I for one, did not know any about this case. The last episode is very well crafted and tastefully done. Sheds light on many issues that we, in society need to start discussing openly. Overall this was eye opening, rather long but we'll intentioned documentary. I hope there are more to come from Netflix.

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.

The most disgusting part related this entire real catastrophe was media & how they ran in a cat & mouse race for winning their audience by going beyond fake reporting (there are true exceptions as well). I guess movie industry have got a sensational topic to come up with a film now. While their relatives explaining how heartbroken they're my eyes were filled with water. Everyone was praising them, about their goodness , society centric approach & How it ended. An eye opener for society where at times our emotions takes over the facts & we blindly crosses the limits of reality & starts living an imaginary life. The only thing I can say is it's sadden. Please try not to cry.

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.

Available on Netflix.

A truly disturbing true crime story of the deaths of an entire family. The documentary was well made and interviewed the relevant parties. Though the last episode focused heavily on psychology and speculation, the first two episodes were utterly captivating.

This had me hooked within the first 20 minutes. I can't believe this is a true story - so very sad and mind boggling.

The story is very gripping and thought provoking. The actual documentary was decent but sometimes showed the same images over and over.

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.

Really horrible u cant watch it straight with ur heart really u will need breaks to think It will made u think again and again like how.

Interesting case that shows us the importance of psychological conservation and mental health, the 1st and 2nd episodes are excellent sadly the 3rd one was useless.

3 episodes for this? I would've understand if the incident was explained in detail but all we got for all 3 episodes were infos we could know just by googling the incident. Documentaries are made to tell the events, not the journalists or reporter's personal feeling while working on the case. Massive disappointment of what was supposed to be a very haunting case.

THE BURARI DEATHS talks about the circumstances and horrible instances that lead to such a terrific incidence .Its a documentary which helps to resolve the mystery and give us a idea of many unanswered questions .This documentry is not meant for everyone as many people can find it disturbing .If you are curious to know about such superstitious incidences and wanted to know how such things still exists in 21st century please go for it!!!

I liked the series. Entertaining, short and strong. Something unexpected, very detailed.

Do not forget, this happened in 2018, if it had been in the 60's or 70's I would believe that 11 members of a family believe this lie.

But that the youngest women in the family and the older children believe in this... it does not enter my head. Even if we are talking about the (religion) culture of India.

Something more than suicide must have happened here.

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 🙂

A deep story about the things we don't wanna talk about. Rituals, faith and mental health. Watch it before it's takes your life how one blind faith can entangle you.

And with masala journalism where you don't care to show reality but to show anything first or in their language, we're first to break this news Don't matter if it's true or not.

The most spine chilling fact is that this is not based on real events or an adaption.. IT IS THE REAL EVENT, you see unfolding in front of you! These are real people, real emotion! Man... it would take a stone hard heart for a person to relive and talk about the one night in which his 3 generations were wiped out.

It's very difficult to describe this mini series with a couple words only.. It's not entertainment, it's not horror, it's not sensational.. more than anything it's about the horrors and suffering of everyday life, the importance of mental health and not enough support.. Not enough general awareness about toxic and manipulative tactics etc. They could have been our neighbors. What would we have done??

Its a story which needs to be shared and talked about but its dragged with same thing being repeated again and again, wish it could have been just made as an hour documentary film. Would have been more gripping and fast paced.

Interesting story about how gullible religious minded people can be. But the story was told in a roundabout way, repeatedly presenting the opinion of friends and family members on how intelligent and independant these people seemed. The story itself is incredibly sad and depressing. The documentary itself is not concise enough.

This Web Series Did Very Good Performance. It Shows a Pure Truth of Burari Deaths in Delhi. Please Never Accept these kind of Superstition in our Real Life.

First, this docuseries is disturbing and should not be watched by ppl less than 18 years. It is deeply disturbing how none of the 11 raised their voice. It is definitely a must to talk about mental health in this modern world. Fantastic documentary that is worth watching and still left with unanswered questions!!
