The Buckingham Murders BO Collection Day 2: Kareena Starrer Is Struggling, Mints ₹1.90 Crore

The Buckingham Murders Box Office Collection: Kareena Kapoor starrer is earning positive reviews from the audience but is still struggling to find a steady ground at the box office. The movie's opening day collection marked Kareena's lowest first day of her career. It is seemingly because the movie has been released on limited screens in two formats - Hindi and Hinglish.

Helmed by Hansal Mehta, the mystery crime thriller minted ₹1.90 crore on the second day at the box office, early estimates reported by Sacnilk. Adding the two-day collection, the total stands at ₹3.05 crore at the box office in India. Seeing the pace, it seems the movie will not be able to reach near ₹5 crore mark. The Buckingham Murders had an overall 15.70 per cent Hindi occupancy on Saturday with the maximum reported in Chennai (72.50 per cent).

The movie follows the story of Jazz (played by Kareena) a grieving British-Indian detective who is assigned the case of a murdered child in Buckinghamshire. In 2023, the movie had a world premiere at the 67th BFI London Film Festival.

Is The Buckingham Murders inspired by Kate Winslet's Mare Of Easttown?

Soon after the trailer was released, netizens started drawing comparisons between the Kareena starrer and Hollywood's critically acclaimed 2021 miniseries Mare of Easttown. Amid the heavy speculation, the director decided to respond to one of the movie buff's posts asking the makers to produce "something original". A user wrote, "Mare of Easttown... God please!! Plz Get something original...”

Responding to the post, the director wrote, "Decide after you watch. Don’t jump to conclusions."

The movie was written by Aseem Arrora and produced by Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor.
