| Simran
(Mallika Sherawat)is married to Sudhir (Ashmit Patel), who is a businessman.
They also have a son by the name of Kabir. They all live happily in
Bangkok.
Sudhir
believes that he has always given his best to his wife and son.
But Simran thinks that being materialistic does not provide the
love which she yearns for from her husband.
As
for Sudhir, he does not listen to his wife's feelings. He becomes
immensely engrossed in making money for a comfortable future. That
leaves Simran all alone most of the time.
One rainy day, she comes across her old college friend Sunny (Emraan
Hashmi). They were once in love with each other during their college
years.
A lonely
Simran quickly becomes hypnotised by Sunny's warm affection. Unable
to resist the temptation of the flesh, she gives in to him. An affair
is sparked off between the two.
The
nasty twist comes when Sudhir gets to know about this relationship.
To confirm his suspicions, he hires a detective who brings proof
of her infidelity.
Armed
with this information, Sudhir confronts Sunny which leads to some
devastating results - murder!
Director
Anurag Basu has learnt from his mistakes whilst making Saaya.
With
this film, he has improved tremendously with his direction, taking
full advantage of the locales, the suspense and the tension in the
storyline.
The
Bhatt brothers who are producers for this film have taken great
care in handling the story.
After
Raaz, this murder mystery will bring them joy at the box
office once again.
Ashmit
Patel looks better and more convincing than his debut film Inteha.
Emraan
Hashmi, the obsessed lover in the film, proves that he is one to
be noticed in Bollywood.
On
the whole, Murder is an engrossing film worth watching on
video due to the right doses of emotions and suspense.
It
will take you by surprise! This film has already broken all box
office records in India upon its release. It will not dissappoint.
