A mass court room murder of the criminal by the victims filled with vengeance and rage as a result of years of atrocities of a small town of Kasturba Nagar, Nagpur India. Question? What drives a community to publicly stab a person recorded 75 times by mutilating someone body in a courtroom filled with people in the house of justice just 2 days before India celebrates its Independence Day.
The story of Kalicharan Yadav a.k.a Akku Yadav is nothing short of tale of karma trying to get back to him for his deeds. 2 accounts of recorded murder, countless theft and unrecorded accounts of rape which takes place between 93 to 2004 by Akku Yadav. This story was close to me because I have seen this murder on TV during the news as I watched with my father at the age of 13. Sitting in that living room just thought of it as any other murder or probably a result of gang war or maybe an international conspiracy by Naxals.
The 3-part docuseries takes you through multiple perspectives of journalist, lawyers, and activists. But this is the first time I heard the victims account from themselves. The story impartially depicts the account by fictional picturisation of how the things unfolded on 13th Aug 2004 and events leading to it.
My opinion in this whole account would injustice to all the victims of this horrific tragedy. But when legal system does not give people the confidence of safety from the maniacal individuals in society who are driven by the drug of power and oppression, that will eventually lead to a civil unrest against that certain individual. The story does not let you think of a criminal’s psychology as he comes from a family background of criminals. All you can think of is it is very good real story of revenge and hatred against a single individual by the common people. The accounts of the victims as will not only fill you with helplessness but also anger and you will end up thinking this gruesome murder is what he deserved without the judicial trial. The people involved in this case were the woman of Kasturba Nagar.
I would give this documentary a must watch if you really are into exploring and contemplating human emotions and if you are ready to face the realty of the society in the remote part of India.
I would be posting reviews in this section and give recommendations for documentaries from all genres. I will be posting my opinions of all the documentaries I will be reviewing in separate post.
