Aakhri Sach (transl. Final truth) is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language crime investigative thriller television series on Disney+ Hotstar, directed by Robbie Grewal. Produced by Nirvikar Films, the series stars Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead role along with Abhishek Banerjee, Shivin Narang, Nikhil Nanda and Rahul Bagga. The series is loosely based on the Burari deaths, with Tamannaah playing the role of the lead investigative officer, Anya.[1]
Aakhri Sach was broadcast from 25 August to 22 September 2023. The series was well-received by audiences, and Tamannaah's notable performance earned her the Best Actor of the Year - Female (Series) award[a] at the Bollywood Hungama OTT India Fest.[2][3]
Plot
[edit]The series commences by introducing Anya, a determined police officer, as she successfully apprehends a cunning individual involved in a credit card scam. However, her trajectory takes a somber shift when her superior assigns her to investigate a perplexing case where 11 family members have tragically died together. Initially appearing as a collective act of suicide, the situation becomes progressively eerie as Anya probes further into the circumstances.
As the story unfolds, the show employs flashbacks to unveil the Rajawat family's past. The family's patriarch, a former police officer, conceals a shadowed history. The seemingly trivial incident involving his son, Bhuvan, emerges as a pivotal event that contributed to his downfall.
At the heart of the narrative are the Rajawat siblings: Aadesh, Bhuvan, Babita, and Karuna. The unsettling incident transpires a mere week after Babita's daughter, Anshika, becomes engaged. Initial suspicions focus on Aman, Anshika's fiancé, as investigators strive to decode the riddle surrounding the family's tragic demise. Yet, the tale's layers are intricate, uncovering that there is more beneath the surface.
As the series advances, the story weaves a tapestry of the past and present, painting a haunting portrait of a family burdened by secrets, unforeseen turns, and concealed motives. The quest for the truth evolves into a psychological exploration, compelling the characters to confront their own inner conflicts while untangling the enigma shrouding the Rajawat family.
