Murder Mubarak Review - A Murder Mystery With Insanely Crazy Humour From High-Class Society

Murder Mubarak Review: Homi Adajania's filmography is filled with humorous drama and satires that reflect high-class society's sensationalism in the most hysterical way. Cocktail, Finding Fanny, Angrezi Medium, and now Murder Mubarak—that's your Homi for high-class society comedies, but Murder Mubarak is a murder mystery too.

Murder Mubarak is a murder mystery alright, with an extensive comic flavour of absurd humour that's been hailed by Western countries but hasn't been attempted in full-fledged manners in India. That's why Murder Mubarak is a different watch and largely considers a specific set of audiences who understand this kind of humour, which isn't sarcastic but is presented sarcastically. New humour Mubarak to them all.Firstly, congratulations to Homi for bringing together a hell of a cast from different generations and different types. Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Suhail Nayyar, and Tara Alisha Berry—this may just be one of its kind casting coups in recent times.

Not just signing them, but Homi presents every single actor in a different avatar, which is totally different from their known images. And it could have only been done with a script like Murder Mubarak, which allows every actor to drop his/her two cents in their own style and yet look different from what we have seen them doing before.Based on Anuja Chauhan's novel Club You To Death, Murder Mubarak is one hell of a crazy ride. We take a ride into a high-class society club called "The Royal Delhi Club," which is made only for the elite class people who never show sad faces in public. But, as we all know, their personal lives are exactly opposite to what they pretend in public—disturbed and problematic. They have to wear a mask of a happy face in front of society to keep their 'high-class' prestige intact.

On one of their Tambola nights, a murder takes place, and they are all under suspicion of ACP Bhavani Singh (Pankaj Tripathi), who is assigned to solve the case. Soon, we have another murder, and one more after that. Who is the culprit, and why did he or she commit these murders?Murder Mubarak has empathetic characters,l coming with unsympathetic features. Every character is crazy; no matter what the situation is, he or she will only speak of his or her life and its structural facts. That's how the humour is created here. Nasty, but funny. Gazal Dhaliwal and Suprotim Sengupta present the characters in a certain mean way that wouldn't look cheap at all. Rather, you'll want to see them go more wild and insane with their talk and actions.

Glad to say that every single actor has done so well, be it Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Suhail Nayyar, Tara Alisha Berry, or even the big supporting cast. They have all been crazily involved in this fun ride on a serious subject like murder. I mean, getting used to this idea is a task in itself.The technical aspects, such as editing, cinematography, production design, and sound, were pretty good. Maddock has made sure that the film looks lavish since it is set in a high-class society. The music might seem like a mismatch, but why complain when the whole idea is to mismatch the situation with story telling and character?

Homi Adajania chose a tough film that may go over the heads of the masses and a particular section of movie watchers. However, people with the habit of watching British comic capers, French realism, and Hollywood murder mysteries of such genres will find this one absurdly funny and absolutely original. Something crazy, something funny, something mysterious, and something atrociously romantic—that's what Murder Mubarak is!
