The makers of Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer 'The Buckingham Murders' unveiled the teaser of the movie this week, promising a gripping narrative. The less-than-a-minute teaser features the actress as Jasmeet Bhamra, a British-Indian detective who has recently lost her child. She is assigned the case of a murdered 10-year-old child in Buckinghamshire.

The video suggests an intense and thrilling performance from Kareena, one that the audience has not seen before. Sharing the teaser on social media, Kareena wrote: "13th September in theatres". The film, which is directed by Hansal Mehta, shows the filmmaker delving into suspense and thriller with a gripping narrative that contrasts sharply with Kareena’s usual fun-loving roles.

The teaser of 'The Buckingham Murders' reminds one of the American crime drama 'Mare of Easttown' created and written by Brad Ingelsby for HBO. Directed by Craig Zobel, the series starred Kate Winslet as a detective sergeant in Pennsylvania, who investigates a murder of a young girl.

The film, which also stars Ash Tandon, celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen, premiered at the 67th BFI London Film Festival on October 14, 2023. It also served as the opening film for the 2023 Mumbai Film Festival.
