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.

And SARA ALI KHAN is just not an actress! Period! But given the level of talents in Bollywood today where it's all about social media followers, designer clothes and plastic surgeries as well as 'who you know' , I'm sure we will continue to see her... Unfortunately.

Hugely talented artistes like Pankaj, Dimple, Tisca ham through the movie. Which is very painful and embarrassing to watch.

The rest of the cast are not worth your time.

Poor direction, editing and slapstick comedy from the 70's, make this embarrassing movie a pain to watch.

The inspiration from Knives Out cannot be denied. Though not a direct copy, the premise is definitely similar.

Watch at your own peril.

This is neither a proper Thriller nor a comedy film. Just like there are some perfumes which are so loud and headache inducing, this is the same garbage. It totally missed all the brackets it wants to be in. The film is more of a pretentious wanna be "who is the killer" puzzle film.

This has unnecessary sexual scenes, one which involves a minor girl looking at it. The director has to be nuts to literally make this scrap. The comedy was extremely lame, off putting, and forcibly slid in between serious situations. The direction was poor, screenplay was gimmicky which was too annoying. They had to pause the screen on almost every character for introductions, which was hell of annoying and gimmicky again. Music and background score was like a below average Hollywood comedy movie. The film never gave any sense throughout. Garbage is the only word comes to my mind.!

No spoilers are given, everything i wrote is based on the technical aspects.
