Tamannaah Bhatia’s sleuth stumbles upon shocking revelations as she investigates the bizarre case of mass suicides by 11 members of a family in the trailer of Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming crime drama series Aakhri Sach, inspired by the Burari deaths that shook the nation in 2018.

The two-minute-15-second-long trailer begins with Tamannaah’s character having a haunting vision of several bodies hanging from the ceiling of a house. She wakes up sweaty and terrified. Digging deeper into the case leaves her even more bewildered but she continues to explore possible reasons that could have led to the mass deaths.

The house they’re found hanging in has a curious connection to the number 11. There are 11 doors and windows, 11 pipes along with 11 bodies. While superstition could be a reason behind the heinous act, Tamannaah’s investigating officer is reluctant to entirely dismiss a murder angle.

The trailer also shows glimpses of the family members before their demise and shows their spiritual side. Stree and Patal Lok actor Abhishek Banerjee plays an important family member. The trailer ends with him uttering, “Family matters should stay within the family.”
