Day 1 Box Office Collection of The Buckingham Murders: Kareena Kapoor Khan Starrer Mystery-Drama Gets off to a Slow Start, Rakes in Only Rs 1.10 Crore
The Buckingham Murders directed by Hansal Mehta and starring Kareena Kapoor Khan took a dull start at the box office as it only collected Rs 1.10 crore net on day 1 in India. The film has a limited appeal and thus the makers opted for a release only in the big cities. However, the reception in big cities is also not too encouraging if the opening day numbers are anything to go by. From here, The Buckingham Murders will have to keep growing exponentially to leave even a slight impact.
The Buckingham Murders Takes A Dull Start Of Rs 1.10 Crore Net At The Indian Box Office
The Buckingham Murders is among Kareena Kapoor Khan’s lowest box office openers. To put things into perspective, the collections are even lower than what Tumbbad has collected in its re-release. The theatrical results may likely have been expected by the makers of the film even while filming it. It can best be described as a work of passion and not a movie made keeping the box office in mind. That however does not absolve it of criticism. Films like The Buckingham Murders are greenlit based on the rebates and the digital rights. As long as the non-theatrical revenues and returns keep coming, there’s no reason why producers would not want to make them.
Kareena Kapoor Khan Must Understand Her Box Office Pull
The Buckingham Murders is a financially safe project but the strong start of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s last film Crew only means that she has a significant box office pull and she is underutilising her box office pull by being part of off-beat films. Yes, off-beat films will continue to be made but an actress with a wide audience can’t afford to play this small because it counts as potential lost.

About The Buckingham Murders

While she is initially not keen on being part of the investigation, she ends up accompanying DI Hardy on the case.
