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.

Unfortunately, the movie is not giving that much scope to Pankaj Tripathi to showcase his unbeatable acting talent...Because of the heaviest multi-star movie, ruined and ate all frames and scenes of him & The movie is too much slower or longer. In every scene, they create confusion rather than giving clarity on the plot. And the other star cast is unnecessarily stuffed everywhere. Not a single actor has a better story to tell on screen. Every actor's talent is wasted...

Sara Ali Khan has to mend her ways or better chose a different profession as it's futile to say ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT A GOLD... One thing is for sure that Rich people eat rich people...

Genuinely, so disappointed after watching this so-called murder mystery. Which is more confusing than mysterious...

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 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.

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.
