The clips from Indrani's interview and her interactions with her lawyers were very important. It just kept reinforcing she has narcissistic personality disorder. Everyone is worse than her, everyone took advantage of her and now everyone else is to blame except herself- classic narcissistic traits. And her need for control, even when her lawyers speak adds to the observation. It is important in crime investigation to have calculated criminals speak about the same events over and over again. That's the only way you can find them mess up their made up story or things that don't add up.

[@riarai4u]

This!!!! Well thought out comment and exactly what the Netflix director intended it to be

[@vivdoolan6846]

Yes, they quietly showed her narcissism and lies for those who could to pick it up rather than explicitly state their opinion , they just showed her behaviour. But if you dont know about narcissism you will miss it. The docu series was really good , I dont think it was irresponsible. They were letting indrani hang herself by showing her true character and her lies.

[@arunat3211]

I don't think you get the documentary. This series IS about a narcissistic personality, Indrani, mired in a narcissistic, voyeuristic world. The reason Sheena is an obscure, almost absent presence in this story, is because that is the point. All the living characters in the documentary come across as either damaged, or hollow. For me, Sheena's absence from this narrative is the best thing about this documentary...in a sense deifying her and making her out to be too good for this world.

[@bhavatirao9350]

Perhaps the timing of its release is problematic since this is an ongoing case? With Indrani as a prime suspect, how does the documentary make her look like? Should makers risk releasing a series like this, which could be perceived at best a showcase of narcissism or worst, their glorification?

[@arunat3211]

The documentary makes Indrani look guilty, period. If there are people who care for Indrani, I doubt there are any, they are the ones who should object. I agree that there are huge ethical problems to this documentary coming out now...but not from the point of being sympathetic to Indrani, but the opposite@@bhavatirao9350

Correct! 👌

[@amusingwordplay7298]

It was an open and shut case for six straight years, suddenly the accused agrees to be the government's witness against Chidambaram, whilst in jail, and suddenly she was out on bail like a rockstar. And most likely will be found not guilty due to "lack of evidence" as long as she toes the GOI's line. 😂 You can't divorce the politics from this case.

[@iracture]

Did the DNA of the corpse match with the accused ? Are DNA test 100% accurate. The case is open and shut if DNA test is accurate and provided there is a match.

[@nickraghuvanshi]

Every evidence can be thrown out of the court if the chain of custody is not followed and many such technicalities. Doesn't matter if it matched 100 percent or not.

[@iracture]

@@nickraghuvanshi police should know this before framing charges. Anyways her family apparently knew this and have carefully devised thjs story. God alone know who gains what by this bizzare drama. Least of all a fool-proof body - "cant be doubted or shredded by defense" is needed to proceed with this case. This missing lady's genuine corpse must be found..else there appears to be a weak case. This lady can always say there is a plot against me..etc

[@nickraghuvanshi]

@@iracture DNA tests can be done as many times as you want, I am not sure why prosecution didn't take that route. Also, that body was buried by a police personnel, why wasn't he caught and brought to justice. There seems to be a lot of cover up, intentions of police and prosecution are not clear.

[@iracture]

@@nickraghuvanshi till now i only did not believe what any member of the family said..Now u saying even police can't be believed? As twisted as criminals are i guess i police too have to be twisted in their thinking. Some khichdi they will cook and serve up some truth for the audience. Because In India Truth is marketed as being supreme. Whereas in reality everything is transient truth including.

I completely agree with this view. It gave a platform to an accused person to come clean, which was extremely uncomfortable to watch. More she spoke more she seemed guilty.

I think anyone of sound mind left the documentary convinced she is guilty. That seems to be the whole point of the documentary. It went over your heads.

[@polynarcs]

This documentary mimics the documentary of Michael Peterson, The staircase. The tactic used is to let the suspect/ narcissist talk because, narcissistic people love to talk and, this eventually leads to them making mistakes, showing a dark side to their personality. In the staircase documentary Michael Peterson is caught on a hot mic confessing to the crime and showed his narcissistic side, the same can be said for Indrani, the series exposed her narcissistic tendencies, her lack of empathy, the fact that she had no desire to look for her daughter or seek justice, her arrogance when talking over her own attorney and her many contradictions. It quite literally convinced many of her guilt.

[@polynarcs]

Use Indrani's documentary to gain discernment. This documentary exposed all her red flags and convinced many of her guilt. There are many narcissistic tendencies that Indrani displayed throughout this documentary. She truly exposed herself and, I think that was the whole point. The victim is important but, documenting how these criminals act and behave is crucial as well, it gives us an idea of how their minds work and what to look out for. Just food for thought.

[@Stephanie-gx7bx]

To me, in that final question...she does not deny that she killed her daughter but responds with "what a stupid question"... this moment shows her guilt, that final scene gave me chills, and I believe was a way for the film makers to show us the truth, and that's why it's at the very end

[@suyapafrias6265]

I just finished watching it. The mother talks like she has no remorse, no soul, no caring for others whatsoever! She’s a psychopath! She’s was always a bad mother! A murderer? Absolutely! Sister or daughter missing, and you act like everything is ok??? This woman is a lier and should be in prison!!!

Not once did she feel remorse or sad about her kids. She didn't even mention how hurt they may feel. Not once. Also netflix didn't even ask her how she knows sheena is in kashmir, and if so isn't indrani worried for her safety or care about her daughter? And who's body are they investigating? Too many holes

[@somakkamos]

I got chills down my spine when Indrani after for decades portraying her daughter as her sister and then allegedly killing her using her 2nd husband in the act... when she looked straight at the camera and stating with no irony..my family abandoned me..i get no support from them 😮😮😮😮 Indrani is a fine villain and one day she would make a grt movie story... but this series was not it.

[@sarveshribangadkar]

I think Indrani's lawyer said it all at the end. "People had their own agenda." I feel the fiancée, Indrani, Peter, Mikhail everyone had their own selfish reasons, and no one actually cared for anyone. Sheena maybe was a sacrificial lamb. The only person close to genuine in this documentary was Vidhie.

[@taras.m1196]

I feel bad for Vidhie, because it seems like she is just so lost and doesn't know who to believe!

[@sarveshribangadkar]

@taras.m1196 yeah exactly!!

[@alexiisharshini8815]

That's where you are wrong The moment Indrani won the hefty divorce suit alimony with most of Peter Mukerjea money Vidhie started taking the side of the Indrani when all the while she supported Peter Mukerjea.So you can see all were narcissistic and self-serving.To shut her son's mouth Indrani got him a SUV.All of them were bought out with money including Siddharth who resorted to murder his own daughter on the instructions of Indrani for money.

[@AG-ol1lb]

Disagree. I still think Indrani was the killer/murderer… there r so many points … majorly the driver pointed to the same place where the corpse was found 3 years b4. He was very vocal n gave complete timeline… sure there must be different reason(s) why she was killed but Indrani is the one who throttled her… my view … whatever I hv seen n read… Sheena is NOT ALIVE …

[@sarveshribangadkar]

@AG-ol1lb I never said Indrani is not the killer, nor did I say that Sheena is still alive!!

Your point might be valid that it exploits the sensational nature of the crime, but once the maker has made the choice, shouldn't you be reviewing what he or she's done too? I watched it yesterday and it kept me hooked. Rarely happens these days. It was the most bizarre murder case in India in the last decade and that had to be highlighted too. Why critics disapprove so much when it doesn't suit their agenda. They are not making it to fulfil your wishes.

[@suchinmehrotra]

If all you want to be is "hooked" and the moral responsibilities of the documentary don't matter to you...then good, great for you. Unfortunately that's now how it works for a lot of us.

[@MrDnag88]

@@suchinmehrotra I said that your point is valid. I am not writing a two page review or giving a 5 minute monologue here, so obviously can make only so many points. What I am saying is once you have mentioned that it didn’t do that, review what is there properly. Instead, u are going on and on about how it didn’t fulfil moral responsibilities with more examples. It’s ironical that critics are pretty bad with taking criticism. U guys made the same mistake with Animal. There were a lot of problems like script was not good enough apart from bad politics, etc, but there were a lot of good things like BG score, how it was directed in terms of cinematography, precision of framing, etc. But, agenda is paramount, right?

[@iracture]

@@suchinmehrotraif anything the govt must look after underage unwed single mother in such rare cases. That is the only moral takeaway from this bizzare story. Indrani was tortured and felt it was ok to wed someone her father's age. Her first daughter was unhappy being called a sister and hence went into her step bro's pants. If there was secure govt safety net for unfortunates like Indryani then perhaps such cases can be prevented in future. I hope single underage mothers in India can raise kids of their own without needing a father name - just like in West. That is the only moral in question here. Rest all is societal driven bullshit - immaterial and everchanging.

The docu series tried to whitewash Indrani mukherjea's image and make her the victim but actually ended up exposing her even more. I mean one could clearly see what a disgusting and conniving liar she is while one can also see that Mikhail was actually telling the truth.

[@frimavalentine4756]

No doubt India is guilty… So many facts pointing towards her : 1) If she was so fiesty and smart, how did she keep quiet over her father molesting her over a period of 3 years in her teen years? 2) Indrani mentioned her mom asked her Dad to leave the house when she got pregnant . How did her 2 kids end up with grandparents who apparently are living together ? 3) Which MOM no matter how evil will leave her girl child with an alleged rapist ? 4) How can she not stay in touch at all with her first 2 kids? 5) The first son seems just as devious as the mom. He never decided to look for his sister for 3 years ? 4)He was okay with connecting with Indira even after the torture and abuse he went through ? 5) He kept asking her for money even after she did owned them ? It’s sad that girl had to die over some political and power feud … The evil in these power money minded human sometimes is beyond what a normal person can even comprehend…

I thought the docu did a good job of showing many shades of Indrani - she was not successful at showrunning the narrative the way she did during her book launch last year (when she manipulated even the most seasoned of journalists). It was good to see Vaihayasi Pande Daniel featured - she followed the case at close quarters, and I followed her lucid writing for much of the trial. Her astute comments in the docu, basis years of immersing herself in this sorry story, reflect the reasonable doubts we are all expected to cultivate re the 'buried truth'. Sheena's murderer is still out there, daring us to think for ourselves.

One thing which Indrani doesn't say out loud is Sheena is an unwanted child conceived by her rapist hence she doesn't care whether she lives or dies. We can't expect a mother to care for her child just because she gave birth. Most men don't do and noone questions them.

[@zahabiya.aliakbara]

What baffles me the most is that Indrani was in Raigad the day after Sheena was murdered in the same location. The arrogance and sheer vindictiveness of Indrani overpowers everything and makes the viewer believe that she is indeed guilty. Also, interestingly Vidhi supported her father throughout the court journey but the moment Indrani gets the major junk of the property and inheritance, Vidhi automatically starts to address Indrani as her mother and sympathises with her, makes me convinced that this family is definitely bizarre and money-minded.

[@YatinGaur-xt3vu]

Also you may notice that she did the same in her childhood as well. When her mother brought her to Mumbai after divorcing her biological father , she started ignoring her biological father because her stepdad Peter was more rich. So she is also no different from her mother and is equally opportunistic and money hungry.

[@adritidutta0910]

The criticality and the statement of Indrani Mukherjea's lawyer clearly claims that Indrani Mukherjea is the murderer, as in the last it was revealed that Sheena was the daughter of Siddharth Das, which was denied by Indrani and she made another story of being raped by her father. I just wonder if a girl/woman can make a story by demeaning her own father then she can do anything she wants to...

[@-Neutron-Star]

Mumbai Police is the main guilty party: 1. Why was the 2012 Case hush-up not investigated? 2. Why were Indrani's father-mother not investigated for rape and sexual abuse of a minor? 3. How could someone bungle up the DNA test and why do they not do a 2nd round of DNA test when the evidence is still within the custody of police? I think Indrani is guilty, but I defend her right to defend herself by all legal means available to her. There is no defense for MI Police, either they are highly incompetent or highly corrupt.

Use Indrani's documentary to gain discernment. This documentary exposed all her red flags and convinced many of her guilt. There are many narcissistic tendencies that Indrani displayed throughout this documentary. She truly exposed herself and, I think that was the whole point. The victim is important but, documenting how these criminals act and behave is crucial as well, it gives us an idea of how their minds work and what to look out for. Just food for thought.

This documentary mimics the documentary of Michael Peterson, The staircase. The tactic used is to let the suspect/ narcissist talk because, narcissistic people love to talk and, this eventually leads to them making mistakes, showing a dark side to their personality. In the staircase documentary Michael Peterson is caught on a hot mic confessing to the crime and showed his narcissistic side, the same can be said for Indrani, the series exposed her narcissistic tendencies, her lack of empathy, the fact that she had no desire to look for her daughter or seek justice, her arrogance when talking over her own attorney and her many contradictions. It quite literally convinced many of her guilt.

[@vasanthakrishnaraj1660]

The closest she came to a confession was when she said that she wouldn't be in this situation today if she hadn't met Peter Mukerjea. Cos it was this fateful meeting that set in motion the chain of events that led to Sheena's murder. Being a bold woman, she cud have just acknowledged Sheena as her daughter and let her make her own choices in life.

[@swinto4795]

You are so correct in your review, the lack of background of the victim was overshadowed by the history of her alleged perpetrator. Sheena was dehumanized in the entire Netflix series, it was uncomfortable to watch how little a human life is worth.

[@preenaloomba1676]

Your review is 100% accurate. The show is so poorly conceptualized. I found the cinematography very jarring. They made Bombay look beautiful (those drone shots etc.), but it was very distracting and did not add any value to the story. The 4 episodes could have been just 2. Someone definitely will be making a lot of money from this so-called docuseries.

[@Subhankar64]

Great job Suchin

[@veracastelino1423]

I don't agree with this review😮 at all. I think it's very well made. U have to understand tat there is a commercial aspect to all content which must be considered. Indrani was the only one willing to speak. So mayb it was on the condition thy name it after her. Only speculating though. But she's narcissistic enough to do so. And if anything she's shot herself in the foot by doing this. It makes her look nothing but guilty as hell. I think it should have been named LUCY if u ask me😂😂

[@pabitrasaha3196]

You can not make even one hundredth quality video as the Netflix guys Peter and Rahul wanted more for appearing on documentary than Netflix was willing to pay

[@sahil828]

She is so evil even a kid can sense just to see her face

[@urvanamenon6170]

Love your t shirt, Suchin .. reminded me of the warmth this movie brought into our lives

[@jessaabraham]

A window to a Narcissist. Unfortunately many somehow becomes their feed.

[@diva7892]

Peter M was quite willing to piggyback on IndM's glamour quotient .... But dumped her like a rat the moment things got rough

[@anuragmahawar9289]

Great Review!

[@Sawmxo]

What a twisted case of blind ambition, greed, incest! It definitely made for an interesting watch. Indrani is definitely a classic narcissist who uses people to climb the ladder of success and will take down anyone who comes in her way. She definitely played up the victim card in the documentary. It is very evident she’s guilty. I hope Sheena will find justice.

[@alexiisharshini8815]

The father raping her is not true It was made up to get sympathy

[@Cappuccinocream]

If it is irresponsible probably towards concealing Indrani's narcissistic personality. If you had watched it, you will know where this platform stands. It even made the viewers even angrier and driven to find justice for Sheena.

[@krishniarumugam]

The challenge here is that its controversial standpoint coupled by these reviewers will only drive curious viewership which will lead to future productions of similar ilk.

[@AshutoshBackupD]

Yeah, no publicity is bad publicity.I think the best way to deal with such contents is to stay silent and ignore.

[@suchinmehrotra]

What would you have us do? Not call out problematic storytelling?

[@McShweezy]

& yet, if one has been alive in India for a hot minute, this pales in comparison to just the effing REALITY!

[@PanajYafav-uc6ij]

​@@suchinmehrotrai didnt find the storyline problematic honestly the docu series showd how manipulative , psychotic person she is ... N tht everyone is aftr money even her brother n truly one person cared for sheenas disappearence tht was rahul his phn call recordings shows in the series they were soo heartbreaking he was desperately trying to find sheena

[@n.r.srinivasan7311]

She is evil

[@chand8516]

Is the reviewers tshirt inspired from the movie Oktober?

[@rohithsherman7375]

*yes it's October

[@senguptasayn]

Awesome.the trailer was enough to be a turn off.

[@xiocomaraebanks8816]

Indrani is so self centered she has no idea how people perceive her.

[@sahilarora8977]

It's a wonderful docu series.

[@Malshe]

I did look forward to watching it but essentially after investing numerous hours I didn't learn even one tiny weeny piece of new information. It seems more eye balling piece of content then anything else. Waste of time

[@gamma_girl]

Ya other than the call recordings there was nothing to get out of this series. It was engaging yes, but not a good documentary.

[@SRIRAMSUPERMANIAN]

Some parts of the documentary reminded me of a plot line in Chinatown....

[@swapnakaul9021]

Sheena may be alive God only knows. Why did the police buried the body?

[@carpediem8533]

This is most straightforward case. But they still have to make to a maze.

[@chatterjeesumit88]

Awesome review

[@sarthak.14]

Love the T-shirt man!

[@neetarathod9705]

It is made just to confuse us

[@vasanthakrishnaraj1660]

I don't think Indrani meant to kill Sheena initially. Circumstances made her do it. I also think she has blocked the memory of wat happened. Somewhere in Indrani, there was love for Sheena. She does admit that she cud have been the most accomplished of her kids. It is actually more of a colossal tragedy than a sensational murder case. And I also feel that Indrani cud have been raped by her Dad. It's not something a woman will lie about. Anyway, a DNA test can reveal the truth. What Indrani did was very cruel and self-serving, but when u look at her life, it has all the inevitability of a Greek tragedy.

[@homermontana2392]

"It's not something a woman will lie about" that is a statement which is so not true there are plenty of disgusting women who lie about something so horrific for their own benefit

[@ElbynMathews]

Which mother in the world would leave their daughter with someone who raped her?

[@shadabahmed579]

no one killed sheena bora

[@beast8290]

Devil in human body... lucy, perfect passed to her

[@SP-gy4hs]

Assamese women are really desperate. I wasn't surprised at all.

[@RP-fr4rc]

Indrani Rocks!

[@ElbynMathews]

Yes rocks the bed to climb the ladder of wealth.
