Kareena Kapoor Khan stars as Jasmeet Bhamra, a British-Indian detective grappling with the loss of her son while tackling a high-profile case in “The Buckingham Murders”, a crime thriller directed by Hansal Mehta.
The film, which premiered at the BFI London Film Festival last year, follows Jasmeet as she investigates the disappearance and subsequent murder of a 10-year-old boy from Buckingham. The film touches upon themes of drug abuse, illicit affairs and the complexities of family dynamics.
While the film boasts an impressive technical aesthetic with top-notch cinematography and background music, the pacing might feel sluggish for some viewers. “The Buckingham Murders” takes a slow-burn approach to the mystery, unveiling twists and turns gradually.
Mehta’s directorial style reflects a Hollywood sensibility, particularly evident in the film’s visuals and narrative structure. The inclusion of English actors adds to the authenticity of the story set in England.
Despite its slow pacing, the film delivers a gripping climax and a poignant exploration of the devastating effects of drug addiction on young lives.
“The Buckingham Murders” is now streaming on Netflix, however, a Telugu dubbing is not available currently. Despite the familiar format of a detective story, the film manages to keep audiences engaged with its compelling mystery and compelling characters.
