My Wife's Murder

After the first few reels, one feels that full blown movie was an overkill for the plot and perhaps telly was best suited. Mid-way you feel that its not even suited for small-screen. As you reach to the end of it, you feel that it was unwise to have attempted it. After a point, not only it starts to drag but also gets silly. And the lame ending sinks the movie further deep.

Anil Kapoor delivers a noteworthy performance. Perhaps one of the first times I have seen a resilient character who uses more of body language to communicate.

Suchitra Krishnamurthy leaves an impression as a nagging wife. Pity she gets bumped by the time you settle in with the popcorn's.

Nandana Sen is a perfect cast for the role. Sadly its the writing of the character which doesn't fit very well.

Rajesh Tandon does a good job for the character he is given.

Boman Irani gets to play an interesting character. Sadly he is not the brightest crayon to solve the mystery (and as rightly pointed by his wife in the movie, gets job promotions for other reasons).

Its only the performance of the actors which saves the movie. There is no doubt that technically the movie is top-notch, especially coming from RGVs Factory its kinda expected. Pity if content would have given at least half of the attention, it would have a different story altogether.

Its not yet aired on small screen yet, and no rocket science to guess why!

What worked: The movie is successful in regards to its tone and the flow of the movie. Despite the ups and downs in the narrative, the climate remains intact and engaging which makes it an interesting watch. The biggest strength of the movie has to be its simplicity as a result the story remained within the reach of an audience but also giving us option of interpretation. Overall, it's a fine watch

What did not work: The movie could have been much better had the writers took care of attendance to details. Also, the movie gets entangled and loses the tone in the final part of the movie making it a melodramatic average watch Final verdict: recommended for its tone

Well....I know it's based on a real incident.... but still I would like to say that right from the beginning till the end I keeps your mind fully occupied and no where makes you feel "It's so unrealistic". In fact the attitude of Anil Kapoor's wife too has been portrayed in a very realistic way which leaves a deep impact on your mind. I have seen minor version of such wives who do not trust there husband or people who have negative attitude for everything and are very fussy.

Though the movie made me a little tensed I liked the concept of the movie as a whole. But, a little more comedy would have been appreciable.

The movie has a lot to learn from each of the characters, specially the impact of communication on husband-wife relationship.

The title itself proves that it is not a typical bollywood movie. It comes from the factory of Ram gopal varma, for whom thinking unusually is usual. Even though the story-line is simple, the screenplay keeps the audience glued to their seats. The movie doesn't have even a single boring moment. Almost every frame is relevant to the story( though Boman Irani's personal life is shown, which may seem irrelevant, it IS relevant ).

The characters are well etched, especially those of Anil kapoor, Suchitra, Nandana sen and Boman Irani. The story is very realistic but for the climax, where it slightly deviates to the typical bollywood cliché.

Overall, the movie is really good. But it may not be a hit in the suburban and rural areas because of the inherent morbidity in the movie.

The movie was ok sort of. No suspense- little thrills- made up circumstances . Background music was very very bad- too much ,too loud and never matched with the scene, poor work. I literally got headache with too loud background muaic .

Anil kapoor as always was good. I sometimes wondered can wife of some person be so. ........ Felt pity for hero. I thing the girls boyfriend was practical but just not to show our hero in bad light ,he,the boyfriend , was shown villanous.

Length of movie was just perfect else it could have looked stretched.

Overall an ok one time watch- i just watched it for Anil Kapoor.
