The Buckingham Murders Review: Kareena Kapoor Ka Jabardast Role in Hansal Mehta Ki Kahani of Grief aur Grit

Indian cinema mein kaafi time tak ek maa ka grief ek hi dimension mein dikhaya gaya hai – woh rote hue, safed kapdon mein lapeti hui ek figure hoti thi. Par Kareena Kapoor Khan ki Jasmeet Bhamra in The Buckingham Murders mein, uska grief ek weapon ban jaata hai, na ki ek rukawat.

Jasmeet Bhamra ka beta jab ek shooting mein mar jaata hai, toh woh Buckinghamshire shift ho jaati hai, jahaan use ek case assign kiya jaata hai jo uske zakhmon ko aur gehra kar deta hai. Ek Sikh ladke ka murder hota hai aur primary suspect ek Muslim ladka hota hai jo drug addiction se struggle kar raha hai. Lekin, ek murder mystery kaise complete hogi bina ek interesting twist ke? Chhoti towns hamesha murder mysteries ke liye perfect settings hoti hain. Tall trees ke beech chhupi brown houses mein jo log rehte hain, unka asli rang tabhi samajh aata hai jab Jasmeet unka pardafaash karti hai.

Jasmeet jaise-jaise us ladke ke killer tak pahuchne ki koshish karti hai, waise-waise sheher ki shiny image bhi crack hone lagti hai, aur communal violence, discrimination aur homophobia jaisi social issues samne aane lagti hain.

Film ek fast-paced thriller nahi hai, lekin Hansal Mehta ka vision brilliantly emotions ko criminal behavior ke piche ka reason dikhata hai. Par kabhi-kabhi, immigrants ke emotions pe focus zyada ho jaata hai, jis se murder investigation thoda secondary lagne lagta hai.

The Buckingham Murders ek slow-burn police procedural hai, jo Kareena Kapoor Khan ke shoulders pe entirely tikti hai. Yeh film Kareena ke acting skills ka ek masterpiece hai. Mehta ne uske best performance ko nikaalne ka kamaal kar diya hai. Ek time tha jab Kareena ne apne aap ko "most commercial heroine" bola tha, par yahaan unka unglamorous, deep portrayal of unresolved grief aur pain aapko dekhne pe majboor karega.

Jasmeet ki khamoshi aur chhupi hui rebellion film ka heart hai. Ek particular scene jahaan woh apne father ke perspective se apne grief ko samajhti hai, bohot powerful hai. Kareena Kapoor ka screen presence aapko palak jhapkane nahi dega.

Film ka supporting cast bhi apna best performance deta hai. Ranveer Brar ne Daljeet Kohli ka role perfectly nibhaya hai, ek insaan jinhone apni maa, beta aur business sab kho diya hai. Ash Tandon aur Kapil Redekar ne apne roles ko effortless style mein kiya. Film ki core story maaon aur unke beton ki hai, aur Prabhleen Sandhu ki performance as Preeti Kohli specially mention worthy hai.

Film ka asli soul camera ke piche hai. Hansal Mehta ka direction ek aur masterpiece hai, jahaan woh Jasmeet ke wardrobe ko uske character ka ek important aspect banate hain. Jasmeet mostly black aur dark purple kapdon mein dikhti hai, aur sirf uska beta jo yellow T-shirt pehen ke mara tha, wahi ek bright color dikhai deta hai. Hope aur happiness ka symbol ban ke yellow color uski life ka ek part rehta hai jab tak woh apni haunting past se deal nahi karti.

Director Hansal Mehta aur editor Amitesh Mukherjee ka meticulous work, along with Emma Dalesman ki cinematography, film ko ek visual treat bana dete hain. Karan Kulkarni ka music beautifully captures foreign land mein ek Indian hone ka feeling.

Haan, film ka murder plot kabhi-kabhi predictable lagta hai. Writers Aseem Arrora, Raghav Raj Kakker aur Kashyap Kapoor ne strong emotions ke exploration ko primary bana diya hai, jis se murder investigation weak lagne lagti hai. Lekin, isolation aur grief ke complex dimensions ko samajhne ka unka approach commendable hai.

Kareena Kapoor ke brilliant performance aur Hansal Mehta ke visionary direction ki wajah se The Buckingham Murders ek must-watch film ban jaati hai.
