Rajkummar Rao hails Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'The Buckingham Murders' as a 'gripping thriller'

One of the recent movies of Kareena Kapoor Khan, 'The Buckingham Murders' which was released a few days back on 13th September 2024 has already started attracting a lot of audiences. Getting positive responses, pouring in from the audience's as well as critics' perspectives, actor Rajkummar Rao was also among those who appreciated the film by calling it a gripping thriller.

Sharing posters of 'The Buckingham Murders' on his Instagram stories, Rajkummar Rao encouraged his followers to watch the film. He lauded it as a “gripping thriller,” adding that it’s one to watch in theaters. The movie is also minting good box office collections.

Critics have also praised the film, with Etimes rating it 3.5 out of 5. The review read, “Though known for her commercial success, Kareena can be subtle, nuanced and understated. Glimpses of this were visible in Udta Punjab, Jaane Jaan and Talaash. A de-glam Bebo weaponises her silence amid the chaos as she seeks closure in solving the case. She hasn’t done anything like this before and this is a welcome change. Chef Ranveer Brar and Ash Tandon also play significant roles convincingly.”

“This may not be an edge-of-your-seat, hard-hitting crime thriller as you expect it to be, but its understanding and expression of grief, isolation and repressed anger is noteworthy.

Also, you won't be able to guess the killer till the end. If that's what you are looking for, this film succeeds. You just wish the build up was more chilling and captivating,” the Etimes review concluded.
