Because of wacky characters and the actors enjoying them, Homicide Mubarak could also be genuinely humorous, expects Mayur Sanap.
One homicide. Many suspects.
The Agastha Christie-style homicide thriller template will get yet one more Bollywood adaptation in Director Homi Adajania’s cheekily titled Homicide Mubarak.
Based mostly on Anuja Chauhan’s 2013 novel Membership You To Dying, the plot revolves round a bunch of elite Delhites who get entangled in a messy case of homicide. The almost three-minute trailer has a goofy Knives Out vibe to it which introduces us to its eccentric characters.
A homicide takes place on the Royal Delhi Membership and the suspense galore ensues when the ‘Angrezon se bhi Angrez‘ membership members get beneath the suspicious gaze of ACP Bhavani Singh — Pankaj Tripathi channeling Hercule Poirot — who’s assigned to analyze the crime.
What follows is a twisty story the place each suspect has an ulterior motive.
The suspected murderers embody Sara Ali Khan, Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra and Suhail Nayyar… all of whom are one way or the other tied up with the killing.
Simply final yr, we had the dreary Charlie Chopra & The Thriller Of Solang Valley and a nearly satisfactory Neeyat boasting the identical premise.
Regardless of a trite feeling about its premise, Homicide Mubarak seems to be thrilling given its ensemble forged.
They’re clearly having a blast collectively and there is a sense of gleeful power that is undoubtedly infectious between them. Thanks to those wacky characters and the actors enjoying them, the movie appears to be genuinely humorous and recent.
Let’s simply hope it’s got sufficient in its kitty for a darkish comedy.
Homicide Mubarak drops on Netflix on March 15.
