-Fall Episode 6 and 7 Review Does Not Contain Any Spoilers-
Fall follows the story of a young woman who has no memory of her life before her alleged suicide attempt. The show is about how she tries to piece together what happened only to realize she can trust no one, not even her closest friends and family as she discovers secrets, lies, and the unspeakable truth locked deep in her memory.

The sixth episode of the series is titled ‘Truth Unwinds’, where Malar learns the truth about Rohit and his troubled finances, and she shares her concerns with Divya. But things take an interesting turn when she further reveals his whereabouts on the night of her fall. Every piece of evidence now indicates Rohit and his hand in pushing Divya to her death.
While the last and seventh episode is titled ‘The Fall’, Divya further confronts Maya about that unfortunate night and learns shocking truths about her accident. Simultaneously Lakshmi forces Jeeva to leave the country when she sees them spending more & more time together. Also, to stop Divya from finding the final missing piece in the puzzle.
If you were thinking that the reason& the culprit behind pushing Divya would be the biggest revelation of the series then prepare to get your mind blown away, but not in a good way. The revelation was so casual and expected, if you have read my review of the initial episodes – there I had predicted who is the culprit and even how they would have pushed her.
Lo and behold, everything that I said turned out to be the exact truth. It was too obvious from the start and makes me question all the unnecessary plot lines that were introduced and added nothing interesting to the story. What baffles me is how the culprit is being empathised with and walks out free of all the mess.
Rohit’s storyline also ended in a predictable way, where he blamed his parents for an unaffectionate childhood and the reason behind his gambling and money laundering. LOL. If there’s any sane character in the show then that’s the father – who instantly called out Rohit’s victim card and stood his ground, also how he handled the revelation of the culprit – is the only normal way.
We finally got some clarity on Divya and Jeeva’s relationship and it’s way too much than we thought. I thought Jeeva must be in his early 20s but when they implied that his relationship with Divya borders on the paedophile zone – I was truly lost for words. Thankfully, it’s not like it but really bizarre how the creators tried to portray it like that.
Summing Up: Fall Episode 6 and 7
Right from the start, Divya has been the least likeable lead character and by the end, she stands true, even more. Honestly, this whole thing should have been a 90-minute movie at max. It reminded me of all the student film projects from my university days and it stands exactly at that amateurish level. Where the story sounds great on paper but the final execution is not even close to a good reel.
Like I said in earlier reviews just watch the first and last episodes, and you will know the complete story without missing anything trivial. You can read our reviews here.
Fall Episodes 1-7 are available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
