September 2024 brings an exciting lineup of upcoming movies and series that promise a blend of various genres. From Kareena Kapoor’s highly anticipated film The Buckingham Murders to Ananya Panday’s Prime series Call Me Bae, viewers will find a wide variety of options to enjoy. As these new releases approach, here’s a detailed look at what’s to come.
The Buckingham Murders
Release Date: September 13, 2024
One of the most anticipated releases of the month is The Buckingham Murders. Directed by Hansal Mehta and starring Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead, the upcoming movie revolves around the story of DI Jasmeet Bhamra. She investigates the disappearance of an Indian-origin child while grappling with her own grief after her son’s tragic murder. The film, co-produced by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Balaji Telefilms, has already made headlines at prestigious film festivals, including the BFI London Film Festival and the Jio MAMI Film Festival.
Khan’s performance is expected to be both intense and emotional, as she described her role during Netflix’s The Actors’ Roundtable 2023: “It was deeply disturbing. After a point, I didn’t wanna know her.” With a screenplay by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Raj Kakker, The Buckingham Murders promises an unpredictable movie.
Call Me Bae
Release Date: September 6, 2024
For those in the mood for a comedic escape, Call Me Bae premieres on Amazon Prime Video on September 6. Featuring Ananya Panday, this series presents a fresh take on the rags-to-riches trope. Panday plays a South Delhi heiress who loses her wealth and status only to start anew in Mumbai. The show combines humor with the challenges of starting over, reminiscent of American sitcoms like 2 Broke Girls and Schitt’s Creek.
Creator Ishita Moitra brings a light-hearted approach to Panday’s character, who faces everything from job hunting as a social media journalist to managing her apartment. Alongside Panday, the series features Vir Das, Varun Sood, and Gurfateh Pirzada, among others.
Emergency

Ranaut’s portrayal of Gandhi is intense, reflecting her complex leadership and controversial decisions.
Moreover, the trailer highlights key moments from Gandhi’s tenure, portraying her as a powerful and autocratic leader. The upcoming movie also features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, and Satish Kaushik. However, the film faces legal challenges that may impact its release.
