A Knives Out -ish remixed adaptation with Indian cast & crew, and you think it’ll be good, I exclaimed to the wife. She ignored my quip and put Murder Mubarak on Netflix anyway. And I’m glad she did, because this is a tight, well made, fun, and funny movie with an incredible ensemble cast, with spot on performances. It’s not short, but time will fly by.
A good story, a properly unfolding onion-like layered mystery, satisfying end and a remake that’s equal parts inspiration and adaptation. You can see where it comes from yet it is enough of its own thing and it works.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
Well done Netflix, Homi Adajania, Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan et al.
PS: epic party bro.
