In The Buckingham Murders, Kareena Kapoor plays a detective named Jasmeet Bhamra. She is seen investigating the murder of a 10-year-old Sikh child in a small English town Wycombe. After she arrests a suspected Muslim teenager in connection with the murder, communal riots erupt in the area and Kareena's character is blamed for the same. She must navigate the animosity against her and find out the real killer in the secretive neighbourhood. The gripping, intriguing trailer also hints that Kareena is expressing grief of losing one of her loved ones.
The trailer has highly impressed the netizens, who showered their praise on Kareena's performance. One of them wrote, "Bebo nailed it", while another added, "OMG goosebumps, please give National Award to Kareena right away." "It's heartening to see Kareena Kapoor taking on a challenging role. SRK, Kareena ,Deepika, Aishwarya, and Kajol are actors with immense potential; therefore, they should undertake more complex characters to showcase their talent", read another comment.
