Please watch it in its original form & not the Hindi dub #KareenaKapoor is brilliant in every frame in a film that dwells deep on the journey of a grieving parent.

#TheBuckinghamMurders is a complex, layered #mystery, with copious subtext, which #KareenaKapoor tackles with all her years of experience to pull off with aplomb, seldom putting a foot wrong. It pays thought that she has a captain the likes of #HansalMehta to steer her pic.twitter.com/vMMOtQn0XI

Done with the first half of The Buckingham Murders an engaging take on unresolved grief and repressed anger through a police procedural. Kareena Kapoor is fantastic as the grieving mother and also as a tough officer.#KareenaKapoorKhan #HansalMehta #TheBuckinghamMurders

Kareena Kapoor Khan's versatility knows no bounds! She's a true chameleon, effortlessly transitioning from vibrant and effervescent to subdued and sorrowful.

Personally, I am excited about this. The last time I saw Kapoor in a thriller, it was in Jaane Jaan and her performance was very gripping. Hence, seeing the reviews for this one, I am already convinced to watch it.
