The Buckingham Murders FIRST Review Out: Kareena Kapoor Is Outstanding in Must-Watch Mystery Thriller

The Buckingham Murders Movie First Review: Kareena Kapoor starrer The Buckingham Murders has received its first review, and the verdict is overwhelmingly positive. The film, directed by Hansal Mehta and set to release on September 13, has been rated 4/5 by a movie critic on X (formerly Twitter), who goes by the handle @Its_CineHub.

The review describes the film as “a cinematic powerhouse” with an emotional core, highlighting Hansal Mehta’s nuanced direction and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s “tour-de-force” performance. Kapoor plays a cop struggling with personal loss while tackling a high-stakes case. Her portrayal is said to bring a deep sense of vulnerability and strength, keeping viewers engaged and emotionally invested throughout.

The film tackles heavy themes such as prejudice, identity, and community, all of which are intricately woven into its gripping storyline. The review promises a stunning climax that leaves a lasting impact, calling the film “a must-watch” for fans of mystery cinema.

Following the release of the trailer, comparisons were made between The Buckingham Murders and Kate Winslet’s acclaimed miniseries Mare of Easttown. Some netizens speculated that the film might be too similar to the HBO show, with one user writing, “Mare of Easttown… God please! Plz get something original…” Director Hansal Mehta was quick to address these concerns with a confident reply: “Decide after you watch. Don’t jump to conclusions.” His response suggests that the film will stand on its own, despite the surface similarities.

At the film’s trailer launch, Kareena Kapoor was also asked about the supposed influence of Mare of Easttown on her character. She clarified that the script was brought to her a year before the series was released. “Actors should draw inspiration from other actors,” Kapoor said, adding that she’s a huge Kate Winslet fan. “I watch her work closely, but I always bring my own touch to a character.”

The film, predominantly in English with some Hindi dialogues, also features Ranveer Brar in a pivotal role. After The Crew, this is Kareena’s second film this year, and the anticipation for this intense mystery thriller continues to build.
