      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.

      Sensationalist but entertaining

      Okay, I don't know what's the big deal about a film which revolves around the story of an unfaithful wife. I do understand that a film with so many kissing scenes is not something Hindi filmgoers are used to, but it's hardly the erotic film some called it although there are some erotic scenes. In its defense, the film is shot pretty aesthetically and generally it's a very good technical work. Of course, like many Mahesh Bhatt-produced films which just seek to create buzz to attract more viewers, the use of love scenes in this one is similarly made for purely sensationalist reasons rather than art, but it works and makes it refreshingly enjoyable so why not use it.

      The film has been described as a remake of Unfaithful, but I see more similarity with the 1962 classic Gumrah, which has been remade into several, lesser good remakes such as Bewafa in 2005. Anyhow, the film is really enjoyable - as a thriller, as a story, and basically as entertainment. The highly attractive leading lady Mallika Sherawat became quite an unusual star and sex symbol following this film, and it's easy to see why because she really is sizzling here. The film has nice music by Anu Malik, and the film develops pretty well, and by the end it even accumulates enough substance to conclude on a predictable note basically. Nothing great but quite a fun watch.

      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.

      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.

      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.
