I have watched alot of Netflix documentaries based on Indian criminals and they all were just fine but his one was nicely executed and nicely directed. The case is so well presented and the details are presented in a proper way making it easily understandable for everyone. Also, the well crafted screenplay, direction and editing made this entire documentary full of thrill and drama, even you can feel the tension. You don't get to know when it starts and ends, as it keeps you engaged till the very end. Overall, it was a nicely crafted documentary by Netflix and I hope they bring more documentaries in this style.

Curry & Cyanide is an absolutely gripping and disturbing documentary about the Koodathayi Cyanide killing case and includes viewpoints from many individuals involved with the events. Kudos to the sister who pursued the case relentlessly to "speak for the dead" even under intense public scorn. The creators of the series meticulously compiled the data and and superbly articulated the gruesome story related to this case. This is a psychopath story that may make you lose faith in humanity at times and will definitely leave you feeling unwell in the end. Netflix does a good job releasing these true crime documentaries.

Personally i liked the content of documentary for its cosmopolitan mindset by director as he tried his best level for making viewer to sit on edge of seat, but as a viewer for such traumatic incident i always wants to check from culprits perspective. As here in CYANIDE AND CURRY we are constantly going through clips of victims perspective (i totally agree thats what happen in documentary) but some where i expect mindset of culprit. Now the point it went wrong is we expect no loopholes and suspense to be there till end but here it was least. So many scenes we believe its very much unquestioned, like working in NIT and no one asking about monthly look after of expense as they are sharing livelihood under 1 roof and her husband is doubtless. Police seem very naive as after jolly's father-in-law's demise, everything seems pointless. While Jolly's husband death no one thought of murder attempt or struggling to death as he fainted in bathroom but not in table where he had supper, where police just consider the whole statement for suicide from JOLLY these points are very pinching as it seems screenplay had took from any book So many things more But for now these much rest in next Hoping for movie from JOLLY's perspective to be done for mass and better reach.

It is vastly disturbing that not only was she getting the cyanide on the pretense of poisoning a poor stray dog (what type of monster harms an innocent animal?????!!!!!), but that she killed a 2-year-old child. We have seen documentaries on serial killers and similar before - this is nothing new. Her motives not only shone a light on the apathetic monster she was but the meticulous way she constructed the "reality" around her to work in her favor. My heart breaks when I hear news of animal and/or child abusers/killers. They are the most vulnerable in our society and we are not doing enough to protect either.

An engrossing documentary that moves so fast that it forgets that it's a documentary. Usually, when I watch a documentary, even when it's based on a well-known event, there would be a lot more research that goes into it which shows a lot more information than what the media would've told till then. Here, that is not the case. There's little to nothing in the way of new information that I wasn't aware of before. Moreover, good documentaries would delve into more faults from the side of the police or those which happened at different points of investigation which seemed to have happened a lot in this case but is not focused. The whole focus was on telling the story from a fixed perspective in a thrilling manner. Even though, Aloor is shown as someone who speaks for Jolly, it is not nearly as convincing as it is designed to be. Which itself is not an issue, but when there's so much more that happened around it that is conveniently skipped, which feels almost like it is because it was never covered by the mainstream media. There are so many questions I'm left with at the end, that the overuse of some cinematic techniques makes me feel this wasn't as good as I felt when I watched it. The way Jolly has given some of her statements, and the way her own son talks about her, it is pretty clear she is the culprit even without more solid evidence. But the lack of more solid evidence and the lack of focus on different angles on why that happened is very apparent here. Overall as a documentary, this feels like an average affair because it is a cinematic retelling of a known story without any research into new information.

Same whenever it happens and how it takes place anywhere in the world, cause they have the same link, somebody have died at the hands of someone other than ''god''. True life crime murder documentaries though who presents to us viewers every little nook and cranny of the despicable deeds, may vary from a scale of -10 to +10, ive seen loads of garbage american tlc that base all their presentations on reenactments and dramatization to a degree that people miss the atrocyties of the killings. This documentary also use the reenactment method, so howcome it is that it comes on top of the grumpy old mans scale? Well its because it tells the story thoroughly locked tightly to the timeline, as well as interviewvs with police, media and family, using media clippings , both pictorial and audio, and uses the cameralense showing the crowded society of kerala,india, its nature in such a manner that you feel like being at home or at least familiar to it. Its still an ongoing case in the judicial system of india, no conviction has been dealt yet, so i hope for a follow up documentary on this cyanide case. And my tip to the producers is to put in some live court recordings and filmed police interrogations next to it, then youll risk getting a 12 stars from the grumpy old man bravo!!

Very much half baked documentary,many links are missing here, about shizu's involment for killing his wife and daughter,how did jolly make college card access to the college, her college library access for cyanide study is completely missing,her physical relationship with that cpim worker who made her fake I card and everything,that angle is completely missing, jolly's previous life as a thief was missing,Mathew's involvement as a whole is missing as he knew about the murders and helped jolly through out for that matter, that angle was not clear in the documentary. Roy's involvement in making fake will was not clear, this documentary is very poorly made.

Just watch it! Go ahead and watch it instead of looking at the rating! Its probably 6/10 cuz not many people would have watched it yet! You will not feel bored for even a second is what I can absolutely surely tell you! Such an amazing direction and the background music to top it off! I initially thought cuz it's a documentary will I feel bored but nah! The story telling from the original family members and with the recreated scenes all of them were really sad and creepy to watch!!!👌🏻👌🏻I love how before each person died or before explaining the way they died,it first shows the picture of the person about to die and shows the birth and death year marked in red first and then shows that the said person is gonna die which leaves us in a tensed situation! One thing to absolutely mention is the opening of this film🍿 They successfully captures the attention of the viewer from how well they did the opening! It would be a shame to stop this review without acknowledging the bgm!!That bgm is something man! When you watch the documentary and then the bgm plays it really puts you in a spot! This is my first time writing a review cuz i absolutely loved this piece! Kinda gave me dhrishyam flashbacks at certain points!
