NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
a_baron The sad subject of this offering is a film engineer, a henpecked father of two whose paranoid shrew of a wife accuses him unremittingly of sleeping with his younger, attractive assistant. There is absolutely nothing going on between the two, but after pushing him too far, he strikes her, she falls back, hits her head, and we have one dead wife bleeding on the carpet.What he should do now, but of course doesn't, is summon the emergency services; he might even talk his way out of it, but he decides to dispose of the body, incredibly ineptly for a man who should know better. Having no option but to report her missing, he does so, and her body turns up quickly. At this point the detective on the case should have turned up at his home with a warrant, and that would have been the end of it, but perhaps they do things differently in India. At any rate, the assistant is drawn unwittingly into the plot, then wittingly covers for him. Obviously this can have only one outcome, and it is not a good one, rather amusing though is the way English creeps into the dialogue in many places. Okay, it is the lingua franca of the Universe, but it may be that fifty years from now every living language contains a smattering of it, those that don't already. There is also a cameo breakfast scene in which the detective, taking an ear-bashing from his own nagging wife, realises what has probably happened and is obviously thinking there but for the grace...
jahangirhussain74 My Wife's Murder is an extremely well made film. Directed by newcomer Jijy Philip (one of RGV's assistant), the film delves into the psyche of a murderer who kills his wife accidentally. The story revolves around Ravi Patwardhan (Anil Kapoor) who is a middle class film editor. He has a wife Sheela (Suchitra Krishnamurthy) and two kids. He spends most of his time working away in his studio with his assistant, Reena (Nandana Sen). However, the reality of his home is way different than it seems. His wife is a nag who is constantly bickering and suspecting her husband of having an affair with his assistant. One day, the spat turns ugly and Ravi loses his cool, pushing Sheela which results in her hitting her head on a wooden carving of the bed and dying instantly. Faced with an unapologetic situation, Ravi is hesitant about calling the cops as he fears he might get arrested. And this will ruin his children's lives. Eventually, he decides to play hide-and-seek with the law until the inevitable occurs. MWM is not a thrill-frill murder mystery. It' s a simply plain psychological film about a man who is unlucky on all fronts: be it personal or professional. The success of Philip as a director lies in the fact that how he managed to keep us glued to our seats despite a simple storytelling. He takes us into the mind of the troubled man and makes us feel his tensions, anxiety, excitement and helplessness. Under RGV'S tutelage, Philip has learned the ropes of direction pretty quickly and in most of the sequences you can catch glimpses of his mentor. The film has a dark look and it really helps build the tension and suspense. The background score is also apt for the setting. Cinematography by P.S. Vinod is first-rate. MWM totally belongs to Anil Kapoor. He sinks his teeth into the role of Ravi Patwardhan really well and delivers a fine performance. He is one of the underrated actors in Bollywood. MWM really helped him tap his potential as an actor to the fullest. Boman Irani is another actor who deserves an equal amount of applause. He is likable as the cop hot on trail of Anil's character in the film. He is made to act more with his facial expression than mouthing dialogues and he does it pretty well. Nandana Sen is passable as Reena. She gets more scope towards the second half though and she does it well. Suchitra Krishnamurthy, despite a 15 minute role, ends up giving an award worthy performance. Her role as the nagging wife stays with you even after you walked out of the theater.On the whole, MWM makes for an interesting watch. Go for it!
Herag Halli I saw Anil Kapoor in "Om Jai Jagdish", "Rishtey" and "Armaan", three movies that he excelled as an actor. If there are two Actors that have the range and the depth-that would be him and Urmila Matondkar. The title is misleading since the movie is more moralistic than a thriller-but there are some tense moments that I will not divulge. The Ravi's character should have had more background-we should have seen his good time and bad times with Suchitra instead I felt like I walked in late to the theatre and missed something. Boman Irani's character in the lines of "Columbo" with Peter Falk, fills the slower or less tensedull parts. Anil Kapoor is riveting to say the least. After AB, he is the finest actor to grace the Indian Screen. Yet another good movie by RMG Banner.
Rajib D This movie is definitely not what the previous summary made it out to be. Trust me. And if you don't just see the movie and than I know you will trust for the rest of your life. I know Anil Kapoor's acting is far better than most in Bollyhood but this movie was purely made on the fact that the title of the movie would appeal to the mainstream Indian movie goers. But I am sorry to say, actually, why should I be sorry, I did nothing wrong. This movie's plot is not original at all. And when Ms Sen puts her relationship with her soon to be husband on the line and tells lies to the police to save her boss, Anil Kapoor, who would think something like this can actually occur in real life. But anyway this movie was poorly done and put together. This goes to the director and the editing crew but the person to blame is probably the producers who wanted to sell the title, My Wife's Murder, that they put out garbage like this for the whole world to see. Well, can't really blame these producers when the rest of the bollywood producers are also doing the same except a few who I will list later. My whole reason for writing this response was because i read the previous one and I completely disagreed with it and I wanted to warn people it would probably be a mistake seeing the movie. And the list of producers and Directors that are on my A list are as Follows: Mani Ratnam, in many different languages has proved that he is what Stanly Kubrick was for the Hollywood cinema. try to get a hold of his old stuff like Mouna Ragam with Ravethy. It also deals with husband and wife issues (1985) also get Dilse if you have not yet. Best movie ever. Nothing is more realistic than that. and the music A R rhaman provides are like tunes from haven that has been sent by god as a gift to all music lovers. This years movies of the year: Sarkar Kya Kool Hai Hum Menai Pyar Kyu Kya No Entry Salam Nameste
