Aakhri Sach Review: Tamannaah Bhatia’s thriller series fails to engage the audience

New Delhi: Tamannaah Bhatia’s recently released mystery thriller ‘Aakhri Sach’ unfolds the story of the unfortunate deaths of  11 members of the Rajawat family in East Delhi’s Burari Neighbourhood. The series features Tamannaah Bhatia, Abhishek Banerjee, Shivin Narang, Rahul Bagga, Kriti Vij, and Pratik Sehejpal in the key roles.

The series is streaming on Disney plus Hotstar and the first two episodes, each paced at a duration of half an hour lay out the crux of the plot. Anya (Tamannaah Bhatia) and her team are asked to investigate the mysterious death of 11 members of a family, out of which 10 members hang themselves together while the 11^th is found dead in another room presumably strangulated. Anya who is shaken by seeing these deaths with her team joins the dots to figure out the reason behind the incident. As the investigation move forward, the revelations through the course leave them perplexed.

Robbie Grewal’s directorial Aakhri Sach will manage to pique your interest from the very first episode and you will immediately hoop yourself to investigate the case along with Anya through the proceedings. Although the screenplay doesn’t cut or interplay between an ongoing investigation and the course of event that cause tradegy.

In between it seems dangerously hackneyed what makers are trying to establish, is the series a police procedural or the social expectation of society on the ability of women to investigate a case? It also shows the rampant disparity at the workplace with a woman officer.

While though the series Tamannaah has tried to breakway her glamorous image and opt to stand  as a performer but eventually she fails. The acting of Abhishek Banerjee makes the series to watch but as the viewers are already aware of the chronology of the events that have been previously explored in other digital platform which barely leaves an opportunity to engage the audience.

Overall the series is not that entacting because it doesn’t serve its own purpose.
