Credit goes to the trailer maker who convinced me to watch this with his trailer design but the final product is a disappointment.
First of all, the parallelization of the stories doesn't blend in as it seems they had no clue how to tell the story.
Same thing repeated again and again. The talkers talking about the same thing doesn't giving any new details. Nothing new for the next episodes. After the first 15 minutes of the opening episode the documentary lost it's engagement.
Unnecessary back stories, to relate with the characters they have tried to establish back stories, which was filled with unnecessary details that failed to maintain the connection with the characters.
In short, if you want to know about the case you can do some digging on youtube no need to waste your time watching this.

This series' is of four episodes . Each of half hour long. This could have been easily a two episodes series because there was nothing in the story. No suspense no twist nothing.
A guy murders his wife because he will inherit the property after she is dead and he gets arrested after three year. Nothing more to say in the story.
You see crime happening due to property or some dispute . This series is same nothing special. You cry out loud and wait and wait and wait for twist or suspense but there is nothing for you. At the end i would suggest you to watch "the burari case" on Netflix or the Indian predator.

Fascinating and terrifying story superbly told. A must watch.
With the popularity of true crime documentary series over the last few years this is a unique story told in a way that keeps the viewer hooked throughout. Excellent and well directed interviews with the key actors in the story delicately presented.
This series comes highly recommended to those in India and globally due to the dramatic story and unsettling details that will leave the viewer shocked.
The editing, directing and production of the feature stands out and has nods to the directors past work which will please existing fans and attract many new ones.

Another indian show showing how useless indian polices are. All these indian crime shows in Netflix and Amazon portrays how incompetent are indian polices.
Shraddhananda is the culprit for this heinous crime there is no doubt. Even his statement with the interviewers has many plotholes and questionable arguments. Every other witness statements, including the maids, contradicts with his version of the story. And of course with some evidences like the wooden box. This criminal hindu priest's lawyer seems to be another hindu sympathizer and his baseless logical arguments made no sense.
Shakereh Khaleeli made some unfortunate decisions in her life and she paid a hefty price for that in life and after death. Her daughter made many silly mistakes as well after suspecting her mother was missing, which was not highlighted in this series. How can she wait 3 years with her mother missing?
I agree with other commenters that there are no real twists in the story and could have been made in under 1 hour video. Why make it slow and lengthy with repetitive info?

"Dancing On The Grave" is a docuseries that re-examines the sensational case of Shakereh Khaleeli, who went missing in 1991 and was later discovered buried alive in a wooden casket at her home in Bangalore, India, with her second husband as the prime suspect.
The docuseries about Shakereh's death is good, but it could have been better. It focuses too much on recreating scenes and imagining things, instead of talking about important things like religion and class differences. The show is curious about the details, but it loses focus and doesn't trust the audience. It needed more grace and reserve when dealing with such a haunting subject. Overall, it's still a good true-crime show for fans, but it could have been even better if it had focused more on important issues and trusted the audience more.
