'Murder Mubarak' Review: Pankaj Tripathi is highlight of overlong Netflix film – India Today
Let’s lower proper to the chase — filmmaker Homi Adajania has made higher movies, a greater thriller (learn Being Cryus) than Netflix’s newest providing, Homicide Mubarak. The film begins with Pankaj Tripathi, who’s our vantage level on this thriller drama. It’s by means of him that we meet a bunch of strange and snobbish members of an age-old Royal Delhi Membership.

Homicide Mubarak’s casting director has put collectively a good solid, which even boasts of some distinctive expertise, together with names comparable to Vijay Varma, Pankaj Tripathi, Karisma Kapoor, Tisca Chopra amongst others. However their characters have been poorly sketched out — Extra bone, much less meat. And it does not assist that actors comparable to Sara Ali Khan go barely overboard at instances in a bid to promote her character to us, borderline hamming.
The versatile Pankaj Tripathi, who performs ACP Bhavani Singh, is definitely the spotlight of this messy, undercooked thriller, which is predicated on the novel Membership You to Dying by Anuja Chauhan. If solely the screenplay had half the chutzpah of Tripathi’s dialogues and his improbable supply, Homicide Mubarak may have been an above-average affair, as an alternative of the mediocre film it has turned out to be. Pattern this line as an example from Bhavani ji — Aaj kal anti-national banne ke liye zyada parishram nahi karna padta hai (Lately, it’s fairly simple to be labelled anti-national).
Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapdia are wasted on this overlong, overindulgent thriller. So far as Karisma Kapoor and Tisca Chopra are involved, they have been each underutilised. Sanjay Kapoor provides his finest to his ‘Raja ji’ character. I might have beloved to see Varun Mitra get an opportunity to point out off his abilities. He deserved greater than the slight half he was supplied.
One other weak level of Homicide Mubarak was the truth that it was for much longer than it wanted to be. The story didn’t want 135 minutes and people 10 further characters for its plot. Editor Akshara Prabhakar ought to have been simpler with the scissors. Now, how do I get my two hours and ten minutes again?
Homicide Mubarak is now streaming on Netflix.
