Netflix’s new muddle mystery Murder Mubarak is like Agatha Christie on uppers. Or maybe we can just call it Knives Ouch and be done with it. Homi Adajania, the wizard of wackiness, loves to play around with genres.
He also loves to cast Dimple Kapadia as these very strange women who give eccentricity a bad name. In Murder Mubarak Dimple plays Cookie a well, kookie high-society creature who dresses up like Elton John and thinks herself hysterically classy. She is of course one of the murder suspects—how she could not, our wintry Bobby!— and so is Tisca Chopra as Roshni Batra (affectionately known as ‘Rosh’) who flirts till it hurts and makes eyes at everything that moves.She also has the best line in the 2 hour 20 minutes of gruelling hedonism: “Rich people can’t even crack a joke”

Murder Mubarak has Homi Adajania back on his home ground as he gives the audience an interesting whodunnit featuring the elite class of Delhi, who remain delusional about everything that is outside of their territory. They are surrounded by an army of helpers and choose to remain oblivious to the life they lead and are concerned only about status, acceptance, and money. All of the themes are explored and eventually offer up the answers the investigation officer is looking for.

Who Found Leo Mathews Dead In The Gym?
Leo Mathews was the Zumba trainer and an employee at the Royal Delhi Club gym. He was found dead by Bambi, Roshni Batra, and Cookie Katoch around the gym equipment. The death of this man did not send any shock waves around the club, as most members were quick to go back to their normal lives and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Directed by Homi Adajania, the Netflix 2024 film Murder Mubarak is a whodunnit comedy drama. Every movie or show in this genre is filled with a whole lot of characters who have more than one reason to commit the murder and are under the assumption they would get away with it. The presence of an investigating officer will only make the matter worse, as one of the many in the crowd will eventually be caught if the telltale signs are caught on to, and the cop will catch up to the clues and see through the criminal as he or she explains their side of the story. Murder Mubarak uses the same template with several characters who have enough and more motive to kill a person.

The Actress Sara Ali Khan, who is gearing up for her upcoming streaming release ‘Murder Mubarak’, has shared what she would steal from her fellow cast members if she was a kleptomaniac.
‘Murder Mubarak’ is an official adaptation of the murder-mystery novel, ‘Club You To Death’ by Anuja Chauhan. It also stars Karisma Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Vijay Varma, Sanjay Kapoor, and Suhail Nayyar.
Recently, the cast of the film and the director Homi Adajania appeared on IMDb’s original series ‘Burning Questions’ to talk about their film Murder Mubarak.
When asked what she would steal from the cast of Murder Mubarak if she were a kleptomaniac in real life just like her character in the film, Sara said, “I think I would take Tisca (Chopra) ma’am’s bilingual eloquence. Yeah, it’s amazing. I think Lolo’s (Karisma Kapoor) infectious energy while singing. Sanjay sir’s selflessness. I admire Vijay’s versatility.

Murder Mubarak is a movie directed by Homi Adajania and written by Gazal Dhaliwal, based on the novel by Anuja Chauhan.
A plot we have seen a thousand times and we all know which British novelist came up with the idea, yet it continues to entertain and amuse, this time in India, at a club for the high class, with a delightful detective who, like Poirot, has charisma and charm.
Even though it lacks sophistication, it’s also part of its appeal.
A good and entertaining film from India that is rhythmic and has a great production that knows to keep a fresh and relaxed spirit at all times.

Aarya has been renewed for three seasons, which paints a good picture of the Ram Madhvani show. This crime drama thriller set in Rajasthan about the narcotics business in which families get embroiled is probably one of the best shows in the above-mentioned genre. There is a lot to take away from Aarya when it comes to the subject matter of the show and the technicalities. Ram Madhvani’s direction is impeccable, and that has kept the show engaging so far. Just like Aarya, there are many shows that touch upon the crime thriller genre and explore the theme of dysfunctional families.

The maestros of suspense genre filmmakers Ram Madhvani, Homi Adajania and Sandeep Modi have revealed what makes the thriller genre tick, and decoded their secrets of thrillers.
The year 2023 has been the year of suspense, mystery and emotion-packed stories, with adrenaline-pumping shows like ‘The Night Manager 1 and 2’, ‘Aarya’ and ‘Saas Bahu aur Flamingo’.
The mastermind behind ‘Aarya’ — Ram Madhvani — provided insights into decoding the thriller genre, saying: “I don’t think I’m making a thriller, I don’t think I’m making a crime show.

It could have been any other backdrop. It could have been an industrial kind of backdrop. So I think that is just the backdrop.”

Renowned Indian actor Dimple Kapadia (“Tenet”) is enjoying a blockbuster 2022-23 with everything she touches turning to gold.
Kapadia had a pivotal role in Disney’s 2022 mythological superhero film “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva.” In 2023, the actor had meaty roles in two of the year’s biggest Bollywood hits, “Pathaan” and “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.” And, taking a leaf from the Helen Mirren playbook, Kapadia took an action-heavy headline role in streamer Disney+ Hotstar’s patriarchy shattering drama series “Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo,” which released in May.
The series revolves around four women, the matriarch Savitri (Kapadia), her daughters-in-law and her daughter, who live in a forgotten village in the northwest of India. Savitri runs the Rani Cooperative, trading in products ranging from balms to textiles. But everything here isn’t what it seems – the cottage business is a front for the biggest drug cartel in South Asia.

I remember when we were shooting the big family sequence where Bijilee is doing some major 1,000 crore maths, she made my maths better, Homi just left the monitor and came and sat in the room which for me was very refreshing.”
‘Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo’ is a crime drama that revolves around the Rani Cooperative (a cocaine-making factory that pretends to make handicrafts and herbs).

There is no shortage of crime dramas in the Ott space now. Almost every other day, we get to see different aspects of the criminal world being explored by filmmakers, allowing us to enjoy them from their perspective. If you ask me, this is one genre that has been oversaturated for the past few years, but occasionally you come across a show or a movie in this genre that shakes you to the core. Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo does not fall into the latter category, but it surely began with that intent. Created by Homi Adajania, this eight-episodic show is a Disney Hotstar Original that is all about women and the control they have over a crime syndicate that has been going on for years, unbeknownst to many. How long will the women manage to keep their secret lives away from the limelight?

Written by Saurav Dey, Karan Vyas, Nandini Gupta and Aman Mannan, and directed by Homi Adajania, the eight-episode series ‘Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo’ is nothing like anything we have ever seen before.

Mumbai, May 2 (Ians) Veteran star Dimple Kapadia is happy to see the female roles evolving as today’s female characters have their own flaws.
Dimple said: “Firstly, it’s high time that we stop calling films and series – male centric or female centric. These are stories in itself, irrespective of the gender of the lead cast, they are stories beyond gender, region and cultures that need to be spoken about and celebrated.”
She added: “However, I am thrilled that stories with dynamic female relationships are evolving and we are seeing women in new characters in every form. Moving beyond the quintessential heroine, today’s female characters have their own flaws, they are much more layered and are now even doing action, just like men in Saas Bahu aur Flamingo!”
She finds it more important to tell stories that reflect the diversity of the country – whether it is women, cultures or...

Actor Vikam Pratap, who is known for his work in the streaming film ‘Darlings’, and has worked as a dialect coach, with Sanjay Mishra, Tillottama Shome, Pankaj Tripathi and Neetu Kapoor, will be soon seen in the upcoming streaming show ‘Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo’. For his part in the series, the actor starved himself and spent nights in the biting cold.
The character proved to be quite draining both mentally and physically for the actor.
Talking about the show’s story, Vikram said, “The story depicts two gangs of drug dealers out of which one gang is headed by Savitri (played by Dimple Kapadia) compromising her bahus and the another gang headed by Deepak Dobriyal of which I’m a part of. So I basically work for him along with my brother. That’s all I can say for now. I bagged this role through an audition by Casting Bay.

Actress Isha Talwar shared her experience of practicing harmonium with veteran actress Dimple Kapadia on the sets of ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’. Isha said: “The silliest thing I think I did around Dimple was to take my harmonium to her room and practise the Sargam. I am not an expert and also, I usually practice alone because it’s the safest option. But when Dimple discovered the harmonium, I played the basics for her in her room and we practiced like little children do.”
Isha has worked in regional as well as Hindi films. She was seen in ‘Tubelight’, ‘Article 15’, ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’, ‘Run Baby Run’, among others.
