Murder Mubarak

I watched "Murder Mubarak" recently, and despite the presence of talented actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Dimple Kapadia, Karishma Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, and Sanjay Kapoor, the film was a letdown. It's disheartening to see such capable artists not being utilized to their full potential. The director missed the mark in harnessing their abilities, which could have elevated the movie significantly. The narrative lacked the intrigue and suspense expected from a thriller, and the pacing was inconsistent. While the cinematography and soundtrack were above a average, they were not enough to compensate for the film's shortcomings. Overall, I'd rate it a 4 out of 10 for the wasted opportunity to create something memorable with such a stellar cast.

The trailer was...intriguing; a fun murder mystery to watch, the likes of which have been dime-a-dozen; but, very reminiscent of the Sandler-Aniston Murder Mystery films/Knives Out franchise/Poirot-Trilogy. KO1 was OK, all the others varied from so-so to disappointing.

So, I don't know if it's because I went in with low expectations, but...I actually didn't mind the film. Good? Not really. Bad? Also not really.

There were a couple things that the film did, that was different from all of the films above, which made me take a step back and thought "Oh, okay, I didn't expect that." The film also some social commentary that you won't necessarily expect from a comedy-thriller, but take that for whatever it's worth.

I personally thought that the film is bring really criticized, it's not as bad as the internet is making it out to be. Negatives though - too many things happening at the same time, you don't necessarily care for the characters as much; the film was also on the longer side for a murder-comedy of this tone.

If you have nothing else to watch, check it. Not good but there are some positives/Not bad but there are some negatives.

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.

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.

This movie we could have been a great success. The cast was huge & great. Sad they couldn't make a better use of every actor. Sara ali doesn't have any expression on her face. A plain blank face. For me it was unnecessarily stretched. Mystery wasn't enough. And the investigation wasn't interesting Enough. I was looking forward to this movie but it turned out very disappointing. Main lead selection was bad.

Pankaj ji was great as always, very natural in his role. He is the only reason I finished watching it. Karishma Kapoor's character wasn't interesting enough. Overall it's an average movie..
