Kareena Kapoor and Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders is coming to Netflix India

Angry Twitter users complain

Several users of The When you see all the Brits speaking in Hindi, it sounds so artificial…sigh!”

Hansal reacted quickly. “Just saw that, Sethu. It’s ridiculous not to have the original version of the film on the service. Have informed @NetflixIndia about this. Hopefully this will be fixed soon enough,” the filmmaker wrote.

Several other X users continued to complain about the lack of Hinglish version. Another user posted on Friday afternoon: “I started watching #TheBukinghamMurders but the Hindi dubbing is so bad I couldn’t get past a few minutes. Dear @mehtahansal, was the film shot in English? Why doesn’t @NetflixIndia show us the original version? When you see all the Brits speaking in Hindi, it sounds so artificial.”

Hansal responded to the tweet by sharing a screenshot of Netflix India’s interface, which claimed that the original audio of the track would be available soon. He wrote alongside it: “Due to a technical glitch in the service, @NetflixIndia will upload the original version in a few hours. Thank you for your patience. And yes, it can be quite irritating to watch a dubbed version of the film. Excuse me.”
