A series of Indrani's side of story, a real narcissist & a psychopath!

This lady is trying everything to make people crazy and foolish. Clearly her childhood trauma has made her to become mentally unstable.

In series, you can observe in few instances, she is controlling her lawyers words.

Also, whoever spoke against her, she did character assassination of them. Her lawyer, shown in this series, clearly can't come up with explanation to the allegations. He is even denying the forensic evidences! And one more funny claim by the lawyer was, rahul was a convict in UK for weed & driving offences!!?? Son of an Indian millionaire did something in his young age, that makes him characterless and unreliable in court for asking where is his fiancé?

Didn't expect much from Netflix series as they do such series to keep an open end to the story, clearly they can't give a verdict, which is fine.

But supporting Indrani's side of story and making a documentary around it, is wrong. And it's not even good for her side!!

Again I would say, she clearly is a psychopath and tried everything she could do to make the court room a jungle.

While this docuseries is underpinned by a brutal murder this seems to be the secondary focus, the real spotlight lands in the characters that make up this saga with Indrani Mukerjea taking the central position - just as she demands it. This is no shrinking violet or humble introspective woman but rather a driven, status-seeking manipulator who thinks nothing of rewriting the past to suit her current objective - claiming her dead actual walks & that she is the true victim in this case. People are clearly pawns for Indrani & she loves nothing more than being at the centre moving them all around - or in & out of - her life as she sees fit. The question posed by the series, the various journalists, the Indian media is did she, with the help of her co-accused, murder her eldest child to ensure that the secrets Sheena held about her Mother's ignominious past never reached the light of day? She seemed to be the only one of her children who Indrani had lost her power over, the others could be kept onside with either money or guilt over Motherly allegiance, whereas Sheena didn't need or depend on her Mother being in her life.

The series starts at the end - with her being jailed for the alleged murder of her first born - but then we get to see just how she ended up in this position, the early years, the people she stepped on & manipulated to claw her way to the highest strata of Indian society. The cast of characters is astounding, the many husbands - each a strategic means to an end by the titular accused - the children - who for the most part don't give a glowing recollection of their mother's past actions or character - & the people she has passed on her way up - who all use the same terms to describe her "manipulative" &/or "ambitious". It's clear that the consensus is that this is a woman who utilised the men she married to move up the classes & therefore the power structure underpinning Indian society.

What does come into focus as a salient question is the robustness & integrity of the Indian judicial system. It seems clear that anyone with enough money or power is able to buy the Police to the extent of hiding the discovery of a burnt body & then burying it. Coming from a country with one of the lowest levels of corruption worldwide this was astounding to me & left me wondering if this was able to happen with a victim's body how can the any part of Indian jurisprudence be believed? If there was one person who came across as a truthful victim of this saga - aside from the deceased of course - it would have to be Rahul, the fiancé of the murdered Sheena. Although he did not appear in the docuseries in person his love & life with Sheena prior to her disappearance was represented, as were his recorded conversations with his Father as he desperately tried to find out where Sheena was & why had just suddenly vanished one night. This is perhaps why he was positioned as the star witness in the prosecution's case against Indrani Mukerjea as he was the sole person in Sheena Bora's tragic life who persisted in asking, over the three years she had been missing, where she was & what had actually happened to her.

As the case is ongoing no conclusion was reached in terms of the verdict at the conclusion of the series but the assumption, given the 'evidence' to date & the public opinion, was that at the very least Indrani Mukerjea did indeed conspire or participate to end her daughter's life. Given what she likes to call simply 'coincidences' & the DNA verifying that the body discovered was indeed Sheena (despite Indrani STILL arguing that Sheena is alive in Kashmir) I cannot see how any other conclusion can be reached. Although given this woman's determination, self confidence & pathological narcissism I wouldn't be surprised if she is acquitted & walks as a free woman.

Her eyes narrated the reality, she is a murderer. It really freaks me out imagining a women who was also a mother of 3, on a kill streak and now a lier. Her driver never lied, she did it and kept it under the table with all her influence in 2012.

A typical red flag, don't know how people couldn't see what was coming to them. Lied about her father being a rapist, lied about her relationship with her kids forcing them to call her elder sister. She was a gold digger, manipulative achiever who killed her own blood, her relationship to be relevant.

Wish they drag her back to the jail and let her rot there!

Can't understand how shameless a criminal can be.

Indrani Seems to be a high class narcissist.

Poor Sheena only betrayed by her own.

Comes across as an exceptionally astute liar and a social climber.

I was surprised she is made out to be celebrity but is a cold blooded murderer. And please it has nothing to do with the stereotypical oh because she is ambitious she is a gold digger.

But if you look in her eyes she comes across as a soulless vapid person.

I am pretty sure she lied all her life to get away with things.

Netflix could have done this better. She is not innocent until proven guilty.

"The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth" sheds light on a case that captivated headlines for years. As someone who followed the news about Indrani Mukerjea from a young age, I had preconceived notions. However, this docuseries reaffirmed my initial impressions.

Throughout the series, Indrani attempts to whitewash her image, but the evidence against her is overwhelming. Loopholes in the narrative and unanswered questions raise doubts about her innocence. It's evident that she is the culprit behind the heinous crime.

Despite the attempt to present a balanced perspective, crucial voices like Peter and Rahul Mukerjea's absence leave a void. Their testimonies could have provided clarity and closure.

Ultimately, the series underscores the need for justice for Sheena Bora. Indrani Mukerjea's attempts to evade accountability should not go unpunished. It's a stark reminder that behind every headline lies a human tragedy, and Sheena Bora deserves to be heard and vindicated.

From what I can tell after having watch the series, Indrani is a narcissistic psychopath, her son is a selfish, whiny boy, and her youngest daughter is a spoiled brat. The husband? Wimpy. The only one I really think has got some guts is the boyfriend/fiancé. Do I think Indrani is guilty? Absolutely. The husband? Guilty. The driver? Guilty. The enjoyment of this series is watching the family lie and lie about pretty much everything. What are they afraid of? Their reputations are already ruined. As for the criminal record of Rahul - 5 or 6 pot PLANTS? Traffic violations? Yep ... I was young and stupid once too.

And the poor lawyer who she hired to 'defend' her? She couldn't even shut up enough to let him speak on her behalf!

GUILTY!!!!

It's very clear that Indrani is as guilty as sin here! Her poor character is in abundant display throughout, just look at how she abandoned her children and made them lie, claiming they were her brother and sister, also she's a proven liar with soulless eyes. She didn't see the children from her first marriage or send them money but left to marry someone else, the excuse being that they would have a better life with their grandparents and that she didn't have the money and couldn't find the time to do so - this doesn't add up as she later had the money and time to do so and she accused her father of an incestuous rape, allegedly meaning that her firstborn children were his, so why leave them under the care of their abusive father/grandfather?

It's clear from her daughter, Vidhie, that she was abusive towards her children - Vidhie only admitted to being slapped in the face a few times by her but Indrani actually threatened to slap her so hard she'd knock all her teeth out live on camera, she clearly Vidhie is downplaying things due to the fact that her mother still controls her purse strings. She also sent her son to a loony bin where he was basically tortured in the flimsy pretext of him having a bit of weed, to punish him for saying he was her son.

Finally, the fact that Indrani lied about meeting Sheena on the day of her death, that she worked for Robert Murdoch, that she hasn't requested a retesting of the DNA evidence despite alleging that it's not Sheena's DNA and that she lied about Sheena going to America and seemed unconcerned when she disappeared, adamantly claiming that she'd run away rather than being murdered, are all things that aren't in her favour. I know how I'd vote if I were a juror!

OMG. The "sister-mother" appears to be a textbook narcissist/psychopath. I'm appalled by her callousness.

This documentary recounts the murder of a 25 year old woman, Sheena Bora, who was engaged to be married. No one other than her mother had a motive to harm her.

My heart goes out to Sheena's fiance, Rahul. He's the only person who truly loved her and looked for her during the 3 years she was "missing". He and Sheena Bora are the only victims in this squalid story.

Her body was found and IDed via DNA. So, there is no doubt she is deceased. Yet, the "sister-mother" continues to insist that Sheena is alive.

Such a terrible miscarriage of justice. RIP, Sheena Bora. Your mother can no longer hurt you.

After watching the movie, I feel that Indrani may not have been the one who wanted to kill Sheena. Consider this narrative: Rahul, who highlighted Sheena's disappearance, was the last person she met before the murder, receiving a breakup message from her. He could have killed her due to the breakup, then framed Indrani to fit his narrative. Perhaps he tipped off the police to divert suspicion. Additionally, it's suspicious that both Peter and Rahul, father and son, are helping each other. This raises questions about their involvement in the case.

Moreover he is an actor, father because he wanted to save his son, sidelined indrani and said to the police that she might have done that.

Also he called sheenas ex father 77 times his father 100 times post that incident to plan that frame.

And he knew because indrani hid these many facts about her identity, he could easily frame her.

And one last thing rahul is jobless, spoiled brat, hate indrani, his family hates her, i think this narrative dots pretty well.

Well Indrani keeps referring to Sheena as unconfirmed deceased. Her lawyer states he has issues with the way the DNA was processed. Would it not make sense for the prosecution to just send bone samples of the recovered body out to be tested again by an impartial third-party lab? There really is no need to speculate as to whether the bones found were or were not those of Sheena Bora - that should be easy enough to determine? As for who is the father or Mekhail and Sheena, that is something else that could be easily determined. Test grandad and the other dood - name I forget - see who matches? Why is that a guessing game?

This Indira - ooops North-American me - Indrani woman is just total creepy. One is immediately overcome with the sense of "avoid completely - walk on other side of road". This so-called Netflix "documentary" had more holes in it than my kitchen colander. I cannot take it at all seriously. If anything, this show was likely generated by Indrani herself to get her side out or obfuscate further. This would explain why no one else from the family - other than her living V daughter who re-discovered her love for mom once mom had cash again - appears in it to speak.

Whatever happened to the missing 90$ million or so from the INX start-up? Never mentioned again lol. There is a brief reference to the couple leaving India to live in the UK - when was this, before or after Sheena's disappearance? Why did they not remain in the UK? I could go on but you get my point. As I said, more holes than my colander.

Major messed up cast of folk here all around. To call this show a documentary is a real stretch equivalent to calling The Simpsons classic literature. On the plus side, it is at least an English-language release - rare for Netflix in Canada these days.

JUSTICE FOR SHEENA

Indrani life and motives are clearly driven by money and fame only. She left her kids, married more powerful people and tells mount of lies and that's the reason she certainly killed sheena as well.

As per her version everybody else is lying, evidence are all wrong but she haven't done anything wrong. Vidhie is totally confused like what's goin on so finally she decided to stay with mom's money side.

I think the reason indrani agreed to do this documentary to clean her image but i think its backfired.

How can a person be hiding in kashmir from last 12 years ? Haha....ask yourself this question.

I am not from India and had never heard of this case before watching this documentary. I thought it was well done, and it gave time to everyone to tell their side. But after watching, there is absolutely no doubt that Indrani murdered her daughter and feels no remorse. She seems like a narcissist and sociopath. I'm sure she thought that by doing her interview that she could convince everyone she was innocent (when it was the opposite). I found myself yelling at the screen it was so infuriating. She is an absolute monster. On the other hand, you can just tell how much Rahul loved Sheena, and it is so heartbreaking that he was the only one looking for her. I hope Indrani and the others involved spend the rest of their lives in prison!
