      Good for an Indian flick

      I liked this movie cause it was a refreshing change away from the usual nonsensical dribble Indian movies are famous for.

      Unfortunately, the concept of originality seems foreign to Bollywood, as this movie is an almost complete ripoff of the 2002 movie "Unfaithful", starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, and Olivier Martinez...with a few new twists here and there.

      Still, I gave it a high score cause it was fun to watch and good for an Indian film...plus we weren't drowned with inane dialogue and senseless song and dance routines every ten minutes.

      7/10.

      Good

      Sentence about a "murder" movie can describe a specific plot, such as a crime thriller about obsession and betrayal like the 2004 film Murder, or a general synopsis for a movie with "murder" in the title, like Murder Mystery, which follows a couple framed for a murder during a European vacation. Other options include a sentence like, "The series of murders in Murder is the Crime leaves a New York community on edge" or a quote from a film like.

      Great movie

      Great movie to watch. Murder may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it's a bold thriller that left a lasting impact on Bollywood's portrayal of adult themes. Worth watching for the music, tension, and Emraan's fiery debut.

      Murder is a steamy, suspenseful thriller that marked a turning point for bold storytelling in Bollywood. With chartbuster music and a controversial plot, it became a cult hit despite its predictable storyline.

      Faithful Copy of Hollywood's Unfaithful

      Murder review :

      The Hollywood film Unfaithful was a highly successful erotic thriller which did decent business in Indian cities as well. The plot involving a married lady who has an affair and how it seriously impairs her marital relationship won accolades globally particularly Diane Lane's sterling performance.

      It wasnt going to be long before Bollywood would get "inspired" from this film and soon enough, Mahesh Bhatt wrote and produced Murder (2004) starring Mallika Sherawat and Emran Hashmi adding his own dose of melodrama and song and dance routine. Quite a few scenes from Unfaithful were copied as is. The formula worked as Murder was lapped up big time by the Indian audience and became one of the highest grossers of 2004. It transformed Mallika in to an overnight sensation and Emran Hashmi became a serial kisser for many years. Interestingly, both Unfaithful and Murder were released at the New Empire cinema in Mumbai.

      I had seen Murder at Citylight cinema, Mahim where it ran to packed house for many weeks. Hawas wasn't released in my area so I rented its VCD. Both the Hindi films evoked quite a controversy in that year.

      Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

      Check out Kashmera Shah!

      This is one of Bollywoods better productions filmed interiors in Bombay and exteriors in Thailand.

      The film was done by a new Bollywood director hat despite health challenges he overcame, he has made another great film, Gangster.

      The film is a Hindi copy of Unfaithful but is really redone to appeal to Indian sensibilities. But I found that it appeals to everyone with its great sense of music and style.

      I really enjoyed the lounge song performed by Kashmera Shah.

      In today's Bollywood most item songs are getting sleazy. This one is classy and shows this girl is not only beautiful but can also act the dance not just dance and lip sync. I can't wait to see her next film!

      Overall great film, highly recommended for first time Bollywood fan. music is fantastic! Go Kashmira!
