The Buckingham Murders: Is Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer inspired by Kate Winslet's Mare of Easttown? Hansal Mehta reacts

As a die-hard Kareena Kapoor Khan fan with years of movie-watching under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and curiosity as September 13 approaches. The Buckingham Murders, with its intriguing plot and Kareena in the lead role, promises to be a gripping ride that’s bound to keep us on the edge of our seats.


On September 13th, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s day will be extraordinary as her long-anticipated movie, The Buckingham Murders, premieres. In this upcoming crime thriller, Kareena takes on the role of detective Jasmeet Bhamra. Hansal Mehta directs the film, which has drawn comparisons to the 2021 drama series Mare of Easttown, starring renowned actress Kate Winslet. Recently, the filmmaker addressed speculation that The Buckingham Murders was inspired by Mare of Easttown.

Sixth of September, 2024, I, a devoted follower, had the privilege of hearing director Hansal Mehta share his views on the comparison between The Buckingham Murders and Mare of Easttown. He kindly urged viewers not to leap to judgments before giving his movie a chance.

“Decide after you watch. Don’t jump to conclusions,” he tweeted.

Hansal Mehta responded to a tweet from a user yesterday, where they voiced their dissatisfaction with his directorial work. Specifically, they felt that the movie ‘The Buckingham Murders’ wasn’t an original idea.

Easttown Mare…Oh, God, give us something fresh and unique, like The Buckingham Murders!” (corrected spelling)

Following the director’s response, the user posted a comment in the discussion, expressing appreciation for the director’s previous work. Yet, the user seems apprehensive about whether this project might be an effort by Kareena to emulate Kate Winslet.

Previously, at the premiere of The Buckingham Murders trailer, Kareena Kapoor voiced her appreciation for Kate Winslet, describing herself as a dedicated fan of the actress famously known for Titanic. Kareena acknowledged that she keeps a close eye on Winslet’s performances but considers her role as Jasmeet in Hansal Mehta’s film to be her unique portrayal.

The 43-year-old actress feels it’s perfectly fine to find motivation by looking up to other actors for inspiration. She expressed this as she stated that sometimes, actors need a source of encouragement, and it can be another actor.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is teaming up with Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor to produce the film “The Buckingham Murders.” In addition to Kareena, the cast includes Ranveer Brar, Ash Tandon, and Keith Allen. Kareena plays Jasmeet in the movie, a character who embarks on an exciting adventure as she unravels the truth behind a murder mystery. The story follows Bebo’s character, a grieving detective whose child has been murdered, as she moves to a new town to investigate a case involving a missing child.

Currently, Mare of Easttown is a popular American television show starring Kate Winslet. In this series set in 2021, Winslet portrays Marianne Sheehan, also known as Mare, who is a detective working on the case of a murdered teenage mother in the small town of Easttown.
