The Buckingham Murders Movie Review

The film, set in Buckinghamshire, follows Jasmeet as she investigates the murder of a Sikh boy, with a Muslim boy as the prime suspect. The investigation reveals deeper issues of communal violence and discrimination.

Unlike typical thrillers, this film focuses on the emotional depth of its characters rather than constant suspense. Kareena Kapoor delivers a standout performance, portraying grief as a driving force rather than a weakness. Her nuanced portrayal is the film's core strength, especially in scenes where she reflects on her loss from her father’s perspective.

The supporting cast, including Ranveer Brar, Ash Tandon, and Kapil Redekar, also delivers strong performances, enhancing the film’s emotional impact. Prabhleen Sandhu’s role as Preeti Kohli adds a special touch to the narrative.

Mehta’s direction and Amitesh Mukherjee’s editing create a visually striking film, with a deliberate color palette highlighting the characters' emotional states. Emma Dalesman’s cinematography and Karan Kulkarni’s music further enrich the story, exploring themes of isolation and identity.

Though the film’s plot may feel predictable and the murder mystery aspect less intense, its exploration of grief and emotional complexity makes it a compelling watch. Kareena Kapoor’s performance, combined with Hansal Mehta’s vision, makes The Buckingham Murders a notable film in Indian cinema.
