Review
Overall, this Haveli impresses with its shape and emotional architecture; however, Anuj Kumar of The Hindu noted that the exposition of societal mores and historical themes doesn’t always blend organically with the mystery aspect.
A chatty chamber drama set in an English estate does too much and says too little, according to Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India.
The Indian Express’s Shubhra Gupta rated the movie one star out of five, stating that while the performances are good, the writing is overly dramatic. Neither Arjun Mathur nor Rasika Dugal, who are always in demand, can save anything.
The Times of India’s Dhaval Roy gave it three stars out of five, saying that although it’s not for someone looking for a mainstream entertainer, the fascinating plot and excellent performances make it worth seeing.
Anshuman Jha’s Hitchcockian thriller is more shocking than suspenseful, according to Kartik Bhardwaj of Cinema Express, who gave it a rating of 2.5 out of 5.
Rediff.com’s Deepa Gahlot gave it a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and noted that, despite the setup’s moderate intrigue, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli lacks the wit and depravity to succeed.
Sana Farzeen from India Today rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and commented that the film’s disorganized storyline and sluggish tempo cast doubt on its emotional resonance and thematic richness.
Shomini Sen from WION mentioned that Lord Curzon Ki Haveli presents an intriguing concept but struggles to maintain the audience’s interest over the duration of the film.
Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, directed by Anshuman Jha, suffers as a murder mystery with shallow character development and subpar staging, according to Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times, who gave it two stars out of five.
Overall, the film is an excellent one-time viewing if you are a suspenseful thriller paglu, according to Aashna Nadkarni of Mashable India, who gave it a rating of three out of five.
Overall, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is an enjoyable, twisting trip, according to Grace Cyril of News 18, who gave it a rating of 3 out of 5. Although it’s not flawless, Rasika Dugal and the ensemble keep it engaging, and Jha’s direction has a lot of potential. If you enjoy a blend of mystery, humor, and a little Hitchcock, it’s worth seeing.
Subhash K. Jha of News 24 rated it 3.5 stars out of 5, saying that Beethoven’s indiscriminate background music ties together the underlying conflicts between a dissatisfied wife and a satiated girlfriend, a prudish doctor and a free-spirited stowaway.
