'Murder Mubarak' is a movie by Homi Adjania based on Anuja Chauhan's book 'Club You to Death'. It's a movie set in a posh club in Delhi so we have a bunch of spoilt, rich and powerful (and not so powerful) members. Throw in a murder and we have set - like they say - the cat amongst the pigeons.
Let's see - royalty with no money but lots of ego, an ageing actress, some neo rich, drug addicts, old sex-starved women, waiters who know a lot of secrets and so on and so on. Gym trainer dies and then we go around all the members trying to find out who killed him.
By the time we do find out - we are rather too uninterested in why that person killed him. Hmm. Blackmail? Anyway.
With talent like that at his disposal - Homi messed up I felt. They were all trying to be different - it was painful to watch. Funny? Could have been a plain vanilla murder mystery. Might have worked. Why does it have to be funny also?
