Overview
- The film released in theatres on October 10, 2025, expanding this week’s slate with a bilingual Hindi-English drama.
- Actor Anshuman Jha makes his directorial debut, with Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, Paresh Pahuja and Zoha Rahman leading the cast.
- Set largely in a cottage outside London, the 108-minute, play-like whodunnit centers on a locked chest said to contain Lord Curzon’s corpse.
- Critics single out Dugal’s performance and note solid turns from Pahuja and Mathur, while criticizing the writing, pacing and theatrical staging, including one review calling it “stilted and sluggish.”
- Reviewers describe the film’s appeal as niche and caution that box-office prospects may hinge on urban audiences and word of mouth, with some suggesting a potential lift around Diwali.
