Anshuman Jha’s Lord Curzon Ki Haveli Promises a Sinister Dinner Party This October

Mark your calendars for October 10, 2025, because the most unsettling dinner party of the year is about to unfold — with four Desis and one dead body. Actor-turned-director Anshuman Jha has just unveiled the first look poster and release date for his debut film, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, a black comedy thriller that, as Jha cheekily puts it, “Hitchcock would’ve RSVP’d ‘Yes’ to.”

 

The film, written by Bikas Mishra, stars critically acclaimed talents Rasika Dugal, Arjun Mathur, and Paresh Pahuja, and dives headfirst into a twisted tale set in England — mixing suspense, satire, and social commentary. The plot centers on four Indian immigrants navigating a darkly comic chain of events involving — you guessed it — a corpse and a whole lot of secrets.

 

While the humor is pitch-black, the themes are weighty. Reviews and early buzz hint at undercurrents of racial integration struggles and subtle xenophobia in the UK — a reflection of real-life experiences for South Asians abroad. 

 

For a directorial debut, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is impressively stacked. Rasika Dugal, known for her National Award-winning role in Hamid, brings layered vulnerability, while Arjun Mathur, an International Emmy nominee for Made in Heaven, brings both credibility and global attention. The film is co-produced by Golden Ratio Films, First Ray Films, and Jetty Productions, with Max Marketing making its first official film presentation.

 

With an English manor, a mysterious death, and the ghost of colonialism lurking in the halls, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli isn’t just another dark comedy — it’s a clever, culturally loaded genre-bender that might just unsettle you… while you laugh. And for desis everywhere, it’s a dinner invite you won’t want to miss.
