The trailer introduces the setting of the crime at the Royal Delhi Club, where a series of strange events disrupt the peace and tranquillity of an elite club. Navigating this maze of lies, love, and hidden agendas is Pankaj Tripathi, portraying a relentless cop ACP Bhavani Singh with his own odd tactics to solve a murder mystery. He's determined to expose the club members' darkest secrets in this funny and entertaining whodunnit.

What makes this project even more special is our phenomenal multi-generational cast who breathe life into the story, bringing a unique freshness that's very enjoyable to watch. This March, Murder Mubarak will be handed over to the audience who I hope will be entertained, surprised, and may even go back to figure out why they never saw the breadcrumbs that are scattered throughout this twisted whodunit."
