The Buckingham Murders: A Bold Cinematic Choice

From tomorrow, theatres are set to showcase two versions of Hansal Mehta's The Buckingham Murders: one features all characters, including the British, speaking in Hindi, while the alternate version showcases Indian characters in Hindi and Brits in their native language. This unconventional linguistic decision was influenced by audience feedback during test screenings, as some viewers found British accents hard to comprehend. “It is a decision we took to make the language accessible to a larger audience,” reveals a source from Balaji production, headed by producer Ekta Kapoor.

  • In parallel, Stree 2's producers are running a buy-one-get-one-free ticket scheme for Friday at select locations.

  • He anticipates a modest start, with expectations of Rs.1 to 1.5 crores, heavily relying on word of mouth for growth.
