Kareena Kapoor Khan is set to enthrall audiences once again, this time stepping into the shoes of Detective Inspector Jaspreet Bhamra in Hansal Mehta’s upcoming film, The Buckingham Murders. A teaser, released by Balaji Motion Pictures on Tuesday, offers a glimpse into the intense and suspense-filled narrative that awaits viewers.
The teaser opens with Jaspreet’s arrival in Buckingham, where she is introduced as the newest member of the police force. Her colleagues quickly note her tough demeanor, a characteristic that seems necessary for the challenges she faces. The brief footage reveals glimpses of a street altercation, followed by the heartbreaking scene of a child’s funeral. Jaspreet’s personal grief is laid bare as she mourns the loss of her own son, a moment poignantly captured as she clutches his clothes in front of his funeral pyre.
As Jaspreet settles into her new role, she is thrust into a harrowing case—a child has disappeared from a local park, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The tension escalates as social unrest brews, and violence erupts in the community. A man’s somber reflection, “No one should lose their loved ones,” underscores the film’s emotional depth. The detective’s investigation leads her to a suspect, who remains tight-lipped about the child’s whereabouts. The teaser crescendos with a chilling scream and a startling image of blood splattering across Jaspreet’s face, leaving viewers on edge, questioning the fate of the missing child.
Alongside Kareena, the film features performances by Ranveer Brar, Ash Tandon, and Assad Raja. The Buckingham Murders is set to release in theaters on September 13.
This film marks a significant milestone in Kareena Kapoor Khan’s career as she makes her debut as a producer. She has co-produced the film alongside Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banners of Balaji Telefilms, Mahana Films, and TBM Films. The Buckingham Murders premiered to acclaim at the 67th BFI London Film Festival in October 2023, setting high expectations for its theatrical release.
