Hansal Mehta's The Buckingham Murders, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, has officially premiered on Netflix on November 8, 2024. A user on X (formerly Twitter) criticised the bad Hindi dubbing, prompting Hansal Mehta to respond with an apology and a promise that the original language version will be available on the platform soon. 

Originally, the film was released in two versions: a Hinglish version (with 80% of the dialogues in English and 20% in Hindi) and a fully dubbed Hindi version. However, Netflix India currently only offers the dubbed Hindi version.

The user on X wrote, "I started watching #TheBukinghamMurders but the hindi dubbing is so bad. I couldn’t go beyond a few mins. Dear @mehtahansal was the movie shot in English? Why isn’t @NetflixIndia showing us the original version? Watching all the Brits speak in Hindi makes it sound so artificial."

Hansal Mehta replied, "Due to a technical error on the service @NetflixIndia will be uploading the original language 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. Apologies." 

Another X user @Sethumadhavan wrote moments after the film went live on Netflix India, “Hi @mehtahansal why isn't @NetflixIndia having the Hingliah version of #TheBuckinghamMurders? Watching all the Brits speak in Hindi makes it sound so artificial..... sigh!”
