OTT’s Latest Thriller A Total Disaster

‘The Buckingham Murders’, directed by Hansal Mehta and starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, has been getting mixed reviews ever since its release on Netflix.

The film follows the story of Jass Bhamra, a police officer in Buckinghamshire who is investigating the disappearance of a child.

The film aims to touch on the themes of immigrant struggles, diving deep into emotional and social issues.

While the concept of the film is commendable, its execution seems botched up, with people expressing their disappointment on the same.

Kareena Kapoor’s performance has garnered some praise for her performance as a grieving mother, with the public acknowledging her as a standout in the cast.

However, the slow pacing and predictable plot twists in the film have been heavily criticized.

Viewers have also complained about the low production quality of the film, comparing it to a ‘YouTube Production’. Other prominent complaints have been the lack of an English version along with issues in the Hindi dubbing.

Social media has been very vocal about the film. One user wrote, “For a thriller, it lacks the slickness and engagement needed,” while another complained about the film being ‘agonizingly slow’.

Despite trying to set the stage, ‘The Buckingham Murders’ fails to resonate with the OTT audience, making it a missed opportunity for its makers.
