The wait is finally over. Lord Curzon Ki Haveli—a razor-sharp black comedy thriller with a wicked twist—is all set to hit cinemas on 10th October. Marking the directorial debut of acclaimed actor Anshuman Jha, the film features an ensemble cast including Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, Tanmay Dhanania, and Paresh Pahuja in pivotal roles.
Shot entirely in the UK and on a single lens, the film carries a distinct Hitchcockian flavour. Crafted as an intense chamber drama, it fuses suspense, wit, and biting social commentary within the confines of a single mysterious evening. Despite being held up at the Indian censors for over six months, the film is now ready to finally meet its audience.
Backed by Golden Ratio Films and First Ray Films, and presented by MAX Marketing Limited, the project has already earned acclaim at international festivals. Its intriguing title, edgy storytelling, and powerhouse performances have stirred buzz abroad, and now Indian audiences will get to experience it on the big screen—where it was always meant to be seen.
Speaking about his debut, Anshuman Jha said, “When Bikas Mishra and I dreamt up this risqué black comedy thriller, we always saw it on the big screen. Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is my humble homage to Alfred Hitchcock. Making my directorial debut with this feels just as electric as my acting debut in Love Sex Aur Dhoka.”
Rasika Dugal, reflecting on the journey, added, “The humour and the darkness that follows are best experienced with an audience. I’m excited to finally see how Indian viewers respond.”
Arjun Mathur shared, “As an actor, I’m always drawn to stories that surprise me. Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is quirky, unpredictable, dark, and funny—it’s unlike anything I’ve done before. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”
With its blend of suspense, satire, and stellar performances, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli promises to be one of the most original theatrical releases of the year.
