In a new edition of This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha rexamines Mahesh Bhatt-Anurag Basu’s drama Murder, which released in 2004.
On a wet, windy morning in Bangkok, the forlorn Indian housewife Simran (Mallika Sherawat) in a clinging blue chiffon sari waves frantically for a taxi, drops her shopping bags in the wet chaos and comes face to face with a sensuous silhouette. “Come to my apartment for a cuppa,” the smirking stranger tells the housewife. Face mirroring a repressed sexuality and challenged values, she refuses and then changes her mind…to plunge into a lustful liaison that brings her well-ordered life to a crashing crescendo…
Welcome to the second remake of Adrian Lyne’s Unfaithful in a week. With a far better cast, production values, and music score than last week’s Hawas, Murder kills your murderous murmurs about exploitative adaptations in the bud.

There’s a great deal of jism on display in Amit Saxena’s directorial debut. In the first half, there is little else. From the moment Bipasha Basu walks out of the sea wearing a trendy bead necklace and a body-hugging apology for a dress, she seems to have not just protagonist Kabir Lal (John Abraham), but also director Saxena and cinematographer Fuwad Khan following her voluptuous body with single-minded focus.
Bipasha is Sonia, the lonely wife of travelling millionaire Rohit Khanna (Gulshan Grover). Kabir is a maverick lawyer who seems to have very little purpose in life as he guzzles rum by the gallons and laments whatever it is that ails his sorry existence. When he spots Sonia yet again in a very backless black dress standing all by herself in the town’s hot spot, he falls straight for her sizzling jism.

Dharam Sankat Mein, the official Hindi adaptation of British satire “The Infidel”, which stars a powerhouse trio of Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah, is set to hit the screens on 10th April, 2015.
Presented and produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, produced by Sajjad Chunawala and Shariq Patel from Trigno Media and directed by Fuwad Khan, it is the first time a Bollywood movie has 3 National Film Award winners in its main cast.
This rip-roaring social satire is helmed by versatile actor Paresh Rawal aka Dharampal, a man caught in the midst of an identity crisis. His entire belief system is shaken when documents from his departed mother’s locker reveal to him that instead of being what he believed himself to be – an average upper middle class Hindu – he was actually born to a Muslim family! A hilarious turn of events further leads to Dharampal truly being in Sankat.
