Fri Sep 13 14:47:52 UTC 2024: ## Kareena Kapoor Khan’s “The Buckingham Murders” Opens Weakly at Box Office
Despite expectations, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s return to the big screen in the crime thriller “The Buckingham Murders” has witnessed a disappointing opening day. The film, which features a unique blend of Hindi and English dialogue, managed to earn only Rs 37 lakh nett in India, according to early estimates.
The movie, which was primarily shot in London, follows a British-Indian detective investigating the murder of a 10-year-old child in Buckinghamshire. While Kareena Kapoor’s performance has been praised, the film has garnered mixed reviews with critics noting its attempt to tackle multiple issues, including immigration, LGBTQ+ discrimination, and economic hardship, which ultimately detract from the core mystery.
Despite a wide release with over 1300 shows across India, “The Buckingham Murders” registered a low occupancy rate of 6.93% on Friday. The film’s performance will be closely watched as it faces the challenge of attracting audiences amidst mixed reviews and stiff competition.
