Aakhri Sach: the ultimate terror!

Based on true events, the series tries to search for the terrifying truth behind the apparently eerie deaths of all the members of a humble household. With thorough research, the season searches for the ultimate truth behind the apparently bizarre tragedy. Spanning for a gripping length of six episodes, the series delves into the psychology of the individuals to find the rationale behind the incomparably horrific incident.

The neighbourhood of Rajawat family in Delhi suddenly turned to be the focus of the entire country on the fateful morning when the inhabitants were all discovered dead, the only individual living being their chained pet dog. Of the eleven member household, ten were found hanging to death in the courtyard, while the lone eleventh, the eldest, was located strewn dead in her bedroom.

A family, who was reported to have no significant problem with the neighbours, with a business that was gradually prospering and one of their younger members being recently engaged to be married, seemed to be the most improbable candidate for such a catastrophic fate. Police investigations to gather evidence against the primary suspects of the fiancé and the local crime syndicates were drawing blanks till a startling find turned the tides with curiously grim facts. A visit to the ancestral home in the village from where the Rajawats hailed and the discovery of a bundle of regularly maintained logbooks completely changed the course of enquiry. A psychological autopsy seemed to be the demand of the case that required a critical probe to the psyche of the family. The dreadful mystery was not only to be solved but the answers to several baffling questions needed to be firmly established!

Written by Saurav Dey and Ritu Shri and directed by Robbie Grewal, the chillingly compact drama patiently crafts a fiction that retains a true theme. Abhishek Banerjee is not only fascinating as always, but he surely played one of his remarkably critical roles to date with his politely dominating countenance to portray a central character, which remained central to the theme as well. Tamanna Bhatia, with her measured gaits, added the right amount of seriousness to the series while Rahul Bagga supporting the act ably with the added appeal of his signature baritone.

The thrilling drama is worth watching that probes, albeit through fictitiously reconstructed events, a frightening mystery with twists, which had challenged the regular intellect!
