Murder Mubarak

Netflix's "Murder Mubarak" arrives with a premise ripe for intrigue and suspense but unfortunately falls flat, failing to capitalise on its potential. What could have been a gripping murder mystery turns into a predictable slog, marred by straightforward storytelling that allows the audience to pinpoint the murderer far too early in the narrative.

The film assembles a commendable cast, suggesting that stellar performances could be expected. However, the reality is a stark contrast. Despite the presence of notable talent, the performances are underwhelming, lacking the depth and complexity required to elevate the material. It's disheartening to see good actors not being utilized to their full potential, leaving one to wonder about the direction and script they were given.

Furthermore, the editing does the film no favors. Instead of creating a tightly woven narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, the movie meanders, stretching thin material over an unnecessarily extended runtime. This pacing issue exacerbates the film's predictability, making the viewing experience more tedious than thrilling.

While "Murder Mubarak" had the ingredients for a memorable addition to the murder mystery genre, it ultimately succumbs to its shortcomings. Predictable plotting, lackluster acting, and poor editing are significant detriments.

The screen age of Vijay Varma and his screen mother is the same. Both look like they're in their 40s, in fact Grusha Kapoor looks a year or two younger

The entire film functions on the same level of absurdity in every aspect. Everyone is strangely blasé about the murder and police but they all have their secrets

Apparently Sara and Vijay are the same age, and she was taller than him when younger. I have absolutely no idea how old Sara is supposed to be in this scenario. Are they both 25? Are they both 45?

Either way, the film is kind of fun, even if it is super shallow. No idea why its listed as horror though.

Overall its a pleasant watch, has interesting characters, and the mystery is decently cloaked till the end.

The movie really isn't what we hoped it would be. It's hard to stay interested for more than two hours because it just doesn't grab your attention from the start. The story doesn't flow well, making the whole thing feel broken and not very enjoyable.

The movie tried to be funny and exciting at the same time, but it didn't work out. Even though it had a creative idea, it ended up being neither funny enough nor exciting enough. This mix-up makes the movie less impactful than it could have been.

Even though the movie had famous and talented actors, it didn't help make the movie better. Their performances couldn't save the weak story and direction, leaving viewers feeling let down.

The beginning of the movie doesn't match up with the rest, which can confuse and make it hard for viewers to get into the story. This gap suggests the movie was poorly planned and executed from the start.

All these problems - a confusing story, a failed mix of comedy and thrill, wasted acting talent, and a story that doesn't flow - make watching the movie a tough task. It's disappointing, especially since people expected a lot more from a film with big names and an interesting idea.

In the end, the movie's struggle to keep people interested and tell a good story shows the risks of trying to mix different movie genres without a clear plan. The famous actors don't make up for these issues, and the movie falls short of what it could have been. This makes the film hard to watch and enjoy, highlighting the need for a well-thought-out story and execution in making a successful movie.

I am a great fan of "WHUDUNIT" and this movie has a great premise. Show everyone with some motive ,entangle the stories ,provide a spicy cop character, voila the movie recipe is ready. Murder mubarak however fails in engagement despite of suceeding in recipe and engagement is garnishing it makes movie appealing, so in that sense the movie is not appealing enough.

Sara faulters big time in her role of BAMBI ..so much that when the climax comes you don't care how she is feeling! Vijaya verma is underutilized as wakil shaheb, the saving grace in cameo is dimple. Pankaj tripathi sprinkles a glittery visual in the form of cop, he is good but again tell me the last time when he was not good. This is just an average movie with lot of potential.

I had lots of expectations but after one hr I lost the interest Suspicion jump from one to another without showing a solid reason Pankaj Tripathi disappointed directed tried to portrayed him as famous character of Agatha Christie Mr poirot but he didn't had that charisma or style as I have seen BBC made long series on his character I couldn't able to stop myself comparing. He did tried to act like Karam chand another famous character and failed miserably Sana Ali khan acted well but her character were poorly written In the end her face lacked the expression character demanded Karishma and Dimple were good in their role and acting Ny way it was not v bad May be my expectation was too high I love this genre so hope director will make another movie on this genre with better plot.
