This release taps into the nostalgia of the original song from Kareena Kapoor Khan’s ‘Bewafa’, which made waves back in 2005, and the melodious recreation in ‘The Buckingham Murders’ is now resonating beautifully with audiences. Its emotional depth makes it a perfect fit for a film like this.

Typically, promotional songs are released prior to a film’s launch to give an edge to the film’s momentum.

Just when she begins to make peace with her past, the town is jolted by the mysterious murder of a local teenage boy, the son of Indian immigrants. That the finger of suspicion is on another Pakistani boy causes rift between the communities that have historically witnessed bloodshed. Unhealed wounds fester again as Bhamra tries...

Hansal Mehta’s “The Buckingham Murders,” which premieres at the BFI London Film Festival, will be the first in a franchise.

Written by Aseem Arrora, Raghav Raj Kakker and Kashyap Kapoor, the film follows Jasmeet Bhamra (portrayed by Kareena Kapoor Khan), a detective and mother who, after losing her own child, must investigate the murder of a 10-year-old in Buckinghamshire, going down a rabbit hole of secrets, where almost everyone in the small town becomes a suspect.

Kapoor Khan has said that her character is inspired in part by Kate Winslet’s role in “Mare of Easttown.” “I love ‘Mare of Easttown’ and when Hansal came to me, I said this is something that I’ve really been dying to do.

Looop Lapeta

Starring Taapsee Pannu, Tahir Raj Bhasin

Directed by Aakash Bhatia

There is something to be said about a film that doesn’t shy away from its chaotic scenario. In fact, Looop Lapeta welcomes it. There is an arresting anarchy at the heart of this audacious endeavour to combine the heist genre with the cinema of self-realization. The fusion almost works.

Not that there are any breathing spaces for philosophical ruminations. The pacing is breakneck. And the characters that Savi(short for Savina) played by the ever-adventurous Taapsee Pannu, encounters in her heaving journey to save her wastrel boyfriend Satyajit(Tahir Raj Bhasin) from being annihilated by his sinister boss(Dibyendu Bhattacharya),will have you gasping for breath. This is not what Savi or the audience signed up for.

There is a peculiar kind of energy at work here; a sort of Savi-on-wheels-or-is-it-something-else kind of loco logic runs through this runner’s raga.
