House Of Secrets: The Burari Deaths trailer – Chilling account of the demise of three generations in a family

House Of Secrets: The Burari Deaths, a three-part docu-series directed by Leena Yadav and Anubhav Chopra, looks at the inexplicable death by suicide of 11 members and three generations of the Chundawat family at their Delhi home.

Their deaths on 30 June 2018 were attributed to an occult ritual; the matriarch of the family was 77 while the youngest member was only 15.

The Netflix docu-series, which is due to be released on 8 October, will take viewers through different stages of the investigation, bringing forth striking and unexpected revelations. The trailer shows the shock and aftermath of the deaths, which shook up journalists and police officers working on the case.

The makers also spoke with certain relatives to try to understand the state the family was in.

Yadav, who is also the showrunner, said, "Working on this docu-series has in many ways redefined me as a filmmaker. This case is one of a kind that brings to the surface some unfathomable truths of society, truths that need to be confronted and discussed. Exploring the case threw up many pertinent questions and revelations about the times we live in. I look forward to presenting through this docu-series a case that is much more about ‘us’ (society) than ‘them’ (the family)."

Yogendra Mogre and Katherine Leblond are the producers. Yadav is also the executive producer along with Aseem Bajaj and James Haygood. The score has been composed and produced by Oscar winner AR Rahman and Qutub-e-Kripa.
