Two big films came this Friday. In a theatre. So on the second OTT platform. 'Murder Mubarak' starring stars like Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor and Vijay Verma has been streamed. You can watch it by going to Netflix. I was a little late in watching the film, but no matter what the story is, it should always be talked about.

Well, when I saw the film, one line came to my mind: Now we have to do something different, this time we have to move a little away from the crowd… Homi Adajania must have thought something like this before making the picture. You too must have seen films based on 'Murder Mystery' many times. So why should you watch it? Gives you answers to all the questions.

'Murder Mystery' of the Rich Club

The story of 'Murder Mubarak' starts from 'Royal Delhi Club'. It is the month of November, and a rainy night. At the same time there is a party in the club. Where many high class people are participating. This is a club of rich people. The fee to become a member is Rs 1 crore 99 lakh. Despite this, everyone is eager to be a part of this club. People from different categories come to this club in Delhi. One is the one who is one thing but shows something else. Whereas, there are other people who are engrossed in their own world. Well, then the dead body of a gym trainer Leo Mathews (Ashim Gulati) is found in this club. ACP Bhavani gets the responsibility of solving this murder mystery. Who start investigation as soon as they reach there.

There seems to be more than one member in this club. One is Raja aka Ranvijay Singh (Sanjay Kapoor) who wants to show off his wealth by giving a tip of just Rs 20. There is an elderly woman, named Kuki Katoch (Dimple Kapadia) who talks strange things. Now enters B-grade actress Shahnaz Noorani (Karisma Kapoor) of C-grade films. There is a middle class Bambi Todi, who just wants to look high class. His old friend and lawyer Dogra (Vijay Verma) is also there. Most of the people who were in the club that night are now under suspicion. This is also because everyone has some reason or the other for killing Leo Mathews.

Actually, the club president wants to hush up the matter. But Pankaj Tripathi does not allow this. Because of the bubbles that have arisen in his stomach regarding this case. He will die only after calming him down. Diwali is near, so ACP has to solve the mystery of this murder within 10 days. The gym trainer's death is not just an accident, investigation begins. In such a situation, they come face to face with such reality of millionaire people, which cannot even be imagined. But the scenes of the film are largely predictable.

How is the direction?

This multi-starrer film has been directed by Homi Adajania. Whereas, Dinesh Vijan of 'Teri Baton Mein Uljha Jiya' and 'Bhediya' has produced it. It feels like watching 'Murder Mubarak'. Before making this, they came together and both of them sat and watched these three films. Which is- Knives out, death on the nile, murder on the orient express, And from the story of all three came out – Murder Mubarak. Its story has nothing to do with the title of the film. Pankaj has been running after a murder since the beginning. Everyone else seems to be a murderer. The atmosphere that was created proved to be like balloons flying in the air. Which become invisible after going further. The direction was very dull and like shooting in the dark. Murder is seen in murder mystery. But there was neither mystery nor story.

Story and Characters Khichdi

'Murder Mubarak' is a suspense thriller. In which the details of every character have been shown in detail. Director Sahib brought the solid cast under one roof. But could not do justice to his role. Couldn't succeed in keeping the film together. In order to show everyone in the film, the makers could not decide till the end how much screen space should be given to which character. Due to which the story remained entangled. Apart from this, the story of some characters who got the work done in the club was dragged on unnecessarily. Sara and Vijay's romance was also given more screen time than required. But the characters whose story seemed interesting never came and went. not found.

Pankaj Tripathi added life to the story

Tisca Chopra and Dimple Kapadia looked over dramatic in the film. Whereas, Sara Ali Khan and Vijay Verma have impressed a lot with their acting. Karisma Kapoor got so engrossed in her actress character that when she was living in real life and when she was on shooting. Couldn't figure out anything. Now coming to Sanjay Kapoor. Seeing them, it seemed as if they had already thought that they have to do something different. Recently he was seen in 'Merry Christmas', where he was in a negative role. This time he became the king but could not do anything special.

Justice could not be done to many characters in the 2 hour 20 minute film. But Pankaj Tripathi won hearts with his role like every time. He is the only actor who has added a touch of comedy to the murder mystery by playing the role of ACP. His one liners and dialogues are also excellent.
