MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Pictures India is all set to release Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows on 29 December. The film, directed by Guy Ritchie, has Robert Downey Jr essaying the role of the world‘s most famous detective, while Jude Law returns as his formidable colleague Dr Watson.

When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Holmes assumes that the prince has been the victim of murder, a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty, a criminal mastermind at large.

Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen‘s club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson on his last night of bachelorhood.

It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince‘s murder makes her the killer‘s next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Silver Pictures Production and  .
