Anshuman Jha on Lord Curzon Ki Haveli being appreciated, “We believed in the film and in the intelligence of our audience”
LORD CURZON KI HAVELI is the story of four South Asians who meet for dinner. London-based Dr Basukinath (Paresh Pahuja) aka Basuki is an Indian-born man who has secured British citizenship. He is married to Ira (Rasika Dugal). Both go to a remote mansion on the outskirts of the city... to meet Ira's friend Sanya (Zoha Rahman). They reach the manor and are welcomed by Sanya and her happy-go-lucky boyfriend Rohit (Arjun Mathur). Basuki feels out of place at this meeting and his controlling behaviour towards Ira spoils the mood of the get-together. Things go awry when Basuki enquires about a giant trunk lying in the dining hall and Rohit jokes that it contains a dead body. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
