Warning: Spoilers
Murder is an erotic thriller film, directed by Anurag Basu. Stars Emraan Hashmi, Ashmit Patel, Mallika Sherawat and Raj Zutshi.

A lonely housewife who bumps into her lover from her past, and the two get into a torrid affair. But when her husband finds out, he plans to end the affair as quickly as it began.

This is the first film of the murder franchise and also inspired from an English film Unfaithful.

Bhatt camp has been notorious in copying scripts and elements from foreign films and be it Dil hai ki Manta nahi, Junoon, Angaray, Footpath or Dushman and this film is no exception.

The plot of the film which is lifted from an English film Unfaithful is an average copy of the English erotic thriller which did managed to do well nevertheless. Lets comeback to our own version of Unfaithful or Murder or whatever you wanted to call this film in which some melodrama has been added with some music and songs. This film was indeed successful in making the career of one of the most terrible actress Mallika Sherawat and gave the tag of series kisser to Emraan Hashmi and was very successful in catapulting the careers of both of them.

The execution of the film is decent to average and apart from few of the scenes which were considered erotic at that time you'll find more of a melodrama, remorse and reunion in the climax.

Acting is terrible to average and apart form Emraan Hashmi who did looked very impressive in the film were terribly bad. Mallika Sherawat can't act and there is no doubt about this. I have seen many of her films with her terrible acting and this film was no exception. Ashmit Patel apart from climax where he shown a glimpse of his whatsoever acting talent he has had wore exactly the same face throughout the film. Raj Zutshi was good.

Music in the film is superb and all the songs were a craze when the film was released and are still very famous and melodious.

Screenplay of the film is average and climax of the film is predictable and doesn't excites much.

Watch only if you are interested in watching the desi version of Unfaithful.
