A wolf in sheep's clothing?

A community is rocked to learn that six murders were carried out by the family's matriarch, Jolly Joseph.Jolly Joseph, she sounds like a children's entertainer, someone to bring joy and happiness into people's lives, not in this case, the name behind one of India's most shocking cases, six murders over a ten year period.It's a well made documentary, both interesting and revealing.The acts are terrible, but the one that stands out, the murder of the two year old child, whoever could do that, the only word is evil.It doesn't perhaps give us all of the answers, but perhaps that's because not all of the points of this case have come to light. The investigation continues.Amazing to see how Jolly's kids have all grown up and matured, turning out to be some very impressive, reasoned, intelligent people, food luck to them all.8/10.

Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case (2023) - A Chilling Revelation

Having known about the unsettling case of Jolly Joseph's cunning serial killings, Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case' (2023) managed to present the story in a raw and gripping manner. The unique storytelling approach made the narrative truly stand out. It's important to note that this case is ongoing and still in the trial process, which sets limitations on a complete personal postmortem from Jolly's perspective. Nonetheless, this documentary provided a satisfying and spine-chilling storytelling experience. The director and the team deserve applause for crafting a haunting yet captivating portrayal of this ongoing and impactful story.

Gripping Documentary

I remember hearing lots of news reports and self-made theories related to this case from media houses a few years back. I never knew all the details of this case, and we tend to forget all the elements, including the chronology of events, after a few years. This documentary does well in collating all the details and I did enjoy this doc from Netflix.I won't say this is a bad documentary but still, there were questions left unanswered and I think the creators could have included all this and could have made it a comprehensive one. I am not going into spoilers. Just give the documentary a watch and you will get it.
