While the film opened to mixed reviews, Kareena Kapoor’s performance was highly praised. Shubra Gupta, in her review for indianexpress.com, wrote, “The small town murder mystery has been seeing something of a revival lately, and Kareena Kapoor Khan is clearly reveling in her Kate Winslet era. But ‘Mare of Easttown’, ‘The Buckingham Murders’ is not. There’s a lot that the disparate strands– the problems that immigrants face in assimilating into the social fabric of a foreign land, the anti-LGBTQ atmosphere in conservative pockets, the resentment of the locals, the rampant drug use, the economic distress currently at an all-time high in the UK– are trying to knit together. As a result, the murder mystery, which is meant to be at the core of the film, stays nestled uneasily within.”

The Buckingham Murders, co-produced by Kareena Kapoor Khan, also stars Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Prabhleen Sandhu, among others.
