The Buckingham Murders directed by Hansal Mehta will open the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival which will take place from October 27 until November 5, 2023 in Mumbai, India.

The Buckingham Murders by Hansal Mehta – India, UK | 2023
Set in the quaint borough of High Wycombe, England, The Buckingham Murders is the story of a grieving cop who loses her child to murder and moves to another town where she’s tasked with investigating the disappearance of a missing child. Exploring themes of trauma, grief, the immigrant experience, and our very innate need for closure, the film illustrates the polarised nature of our times and the human cost of that divide.
