The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth Review - Gripping & Unbiased

An outstanding docu-series detailing the widely reported Sheena Bora murder case; The Indrani Mukerjea Story makes for an ideal binge watch this weekend, especially when there aren't any new big ticket Bollywood releases to relish!!

This four episode series of approximately forty five minutes each, takes an unbiased and uncompromising view on the high profile case, which involved the INX Media couple Peter Mukerjea and his as beautiful as ambitious wife Indrani. "Is it sin for a woman to be ambitious?", she asks the audience at one point!!!

Narrated by various journalists (including a seemingly excited Rajdeep Sardesai), the disappearance of the twenty five year old Sheena Bora and her alleged skeletal remains found three years later, has enough meat to engage and grip even a few those, who may have never followed this difficult case!!

The highlight is of course, Indrani Mukerjea explaning her side of the story. She appears so very bold yet so calm and composed while answering some tough questions. Having said that, the makers are clever enough to not let it influence your overall judgement in any manner. That is the series biggest strength.

Everyone from Indrani's kids Vidhie and Mekhail to her defence lawyer, get a chance to offer their own perspective to the jigsaw puzzle of a case. It gives an almost Rashomon feel to the series. You decide for yourself using your intelligence...excellent stuff. Don't miss it on Netflix!!
