Hansal Mehta assures angry fans Netflix will upload The Buckingham Murders original language version soon | Bollywood

Hansal Mehta’s investigative thriller The Buckingham Murders, starring Kareena Kapoor as a British cop, premieres on Netflix India today, November 8, a few months after its theatrical release. The film was initially released in two versions – Hinglish (80% dialogues in English and 20% dialogues in Hindi) and a dubbed Hindi version. However, Netflix India users can only access the dubbed Hindi version on the platform.

Angry Twitter users complain

Several X users took to the microblogging site to flag that The Buckingham Murders is only available in the Hindi dubbed version and not in the original Hinglish version. X user @Sethumadhavan wrote late Thursday night moments after the film went live on Netflix India, “Hey @mehtahansal why doesn’t @NetflixIndia have the Hingliah version of #TheBuckinghamMurders? Seeing all the Brits talking in Hindi makes it sound so artificial…..sigh!”

Hansal was quick to respond. “So that Sethu. Not having the original version of the movie on the service is ridiculous. Have alerted @NetflixIndia about it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon enough,” the filmmaker wrote.

Several other X users continued to rant about the missing Hinglish version. Another user wrote on Friday afternoon: “I started watching #TheBukinghamMurders but the Hindi dubbing is so bad I couldn’t go past a few minutes. Dear @mehtahansal was the movie shot in English? Why is @NetflixIndia showing us not the original version? Seeing all the Brits speaking in Hindi makes it sound so artificial.”

Hansal responded to the tweet by sharing a screenshot of the Netflix India UI, which claims that the original audio of the title is coming soon. He wrote alongside, “Due to a technical glitch on the service @NetflixIndia will be uploading the original language version in a few hours. Thanks for your patience. And yes watching a dubbed version of the movie can be quite annoying. Sorry.”
