      Good flick

      Another adult thriller successfully wins over the masses. Mallika's loneliness was very well depicted with the story taking place in a foreign land with no friends and people who speak an incomprehensible language. Malika's dialogue of how a married woman's loneliness is a hundred times worse than a single lady's loneliness, of how she slept with a stranger (her husband) every night, really struck a chord. Ashmit Patel didn't have much of a role but did a good job in whatever he did do. Mallika's romantic interest wasn't that impressive. Songs are outstanding! "Bheege Hont" is a mesmerizing romantic track, and "Kaho Na Kaho" is a captivating track that is definitely my new favorite song. Groovy beats, melodic rhythm, good intertwining of Arabic language, and an overall haunting melody make this song addictive. The story mainly picks up in the second half and is quite unpredictable. Mallika may be the new sex symbol, but she is definitely not a quality actress. Her dialogue delivery in the movie was absolutely pathetic as were her acting skills.

      Warning: Do not go to this movie with your parents.

      Storyline: The punchline of the movie says, "She is Married, She is lonely, She is having an affair". I guess this sums up the entire story. Now, one would be curious to ask, whether the skin-show is actually relevant. Well, I would recommend that you watch the movie to know more.

      Comment: The story line is inspired by Adrian Lyne's UNFAITHFUL (2002) starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Oliver Martinez, with sufficient changes in the story to suit Indian Conditions. The performances are quite average and bearable. Mallika Sherawat has created new standards for skin show in Bollywood with this movie.

      The Direction and Music have been given their due. The songs 'Kaho na Kaho' and 'Bheege Hont' would make the song worthy enough to have it as an mp3 in your collection. In general, the movie is watchable and makes a good pastime.

      fearless treatment

      Murder stands out as a brave, well-acted, and emotionally charged thriller that still holds relevance. Its success lies in its boldness and honesty - a film worth watching for fans of passionate, suspenseful cinema.

      Emraan Hashmi's portrayal of the seductive and manipulative Sunny earned him recognition as the new face of romantic thrillers. Ashmit Patel, too, impresses in a more restrained yet pivotal role.

      rich and bold

      The story is beautiful due to the characters that cant be replaced anyway.Even if there is darkness,it is all a film can give.Even if the movie is taken from Hollywood ,i feel it is more good than the original. The heroine is a good lady who is in dilemma regarding her life.The clear picture is seen in a simple song. The movie has given a horrific effect due to the main song which shows that there is much more.The racing scenes and the climax is beautiful. The story is smooth and Emraan Hashmi gives a stunning performance. There is not much scenes but the locations are also very impressive.This is one of the good movie which shows what they intended to.

      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!
