Netflix’s new muddle mystery Murder Mubarak is like Agatha Christie on uppers. Or maybe we can just call it Knives Ouch and be done with it. Homi Adajania, the wizard of wackiness, loves to play around with genres.

He also loves to cast Dimple Kapadia as these very strange women who give eccentricity a bad name.

She is of course one of the murder suspects—how she could not, our wintry Bobby!— and so is Tisca Chopra as Roshni Batra (affectionately known as ‘Rosh’) who flirts till it hurts and makes eyes at everything that moves.She also has the best line in the 2 hour 20 minutes of gruelling hedonism: “Rich people can’t even crack a joke”

He is ?left? but right. She is exploited but she knows her ?rights?. Bamfaad directed by Ranjan Chandel and presented by Anurag Kashyap had the potential of an explosively raw and pious love story from Allahabad but alas.
