Story
The pivotal crime drama ‘The Buckingham Murders’ tells the story of a detective Jasmeet Bhamra who struggles with the sorrow of losing her son. She relocates to a quiet town in England to try and start afresh, but destiny seems to have other things in store for her. Shortly after relocating, Jasmeet finds herself working on a baffling case about the murder of a little boy.
As she extends her investigation further and further, she stumbles upon awful facts about the boy’s family and the locality a quaint close-knit one that baffles her. A case like this poses more than a few challenges, not least of which include the internal delivery of the case and the evocation of emotional stresses that one so deeply roots within her history. The emotions and pain Jasmeet feels throughout this entire process is more than one’s imagination of ‘a rollercoaster’ which I assure is not the most pleasant analogy.
However, The intense grief and trauma she constantly buries inside are scary but very real. The film shows the evolution of Jasmeet who has been searching for something, living with pain for a long time with justice still eluding her. There are thrilling moments with shocking twists and heart-wrenching scenes throughout which will ensure to keep you engaged throughout. This film is directed by Hansal Mehta with Kareena Kapoor Khan’s impactful performance, it turns out to be suspenseful, dramatic, and heartwarming storytelling.
Box Office Records of ‘The Buckingham Murders’

My Overall Experience
We all know that Kareena Kapoor Khan is a very versatile actor, and in ‘The Buckingham Murders’ movie, she shows her versatility very well. At the theatre, the first half flew by very fast, and I could not take my eyes off the screen even for a moment, as the story was very engaging. In the second half, a new chapter unfolds, full of twists and turns, which I liked. Most of the time, you predict something, but something completely opposite happens in the movie.
In this film, many local actors are cast, which gives the movie a more realistic touch and keeps its authenticity. Mainly, it feels like you’re watching a Hollywood movie, but with Indian actors. Overall, the movie is full of crime, suspense, and drama, but the main point is there are many adult scenes. If you are thinking of watching it with your children, don’t. Instead, watch it alone or with other adults.
Overall, for me, it’s a marvellous film, and personally, I give it a 3.8/5. Currently, it’s available on Netflix, so go and watch it now!
