When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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

OK, it was different from the regular crap Bollywood produces so often. But the problem is, I've been seeing so many crime-based programs on television these days that this one appears pale and stale as compared to those. In fact any randomly chosen crime-file appears to be more interesting than this one.+ Acting. Good. Especially Anil Kapoor, He has done a good job playing the role of a unhappy husband, who accidentally kills his wife, and then tries eliminating all proofs of her murder. The movie is bearable only because of him. Boman Irani is impressive, and is able to keep the interest alive in a otherwise monotonous plot. Rest of the cast is quite poor, even Suchitra Krishnamurti appeared to be putting much more effort than required playing a irritating and suspicious wife.+ Camera-work. OK. Manages to capture the tension between the characters, and the uncomfortable environment. Also some night shots are really well taken.+ Sound Effects. Good. But then even 'Naina' had great sound effects.= Direction. Average. The start is good, and appears to be gripping, at least for the first half. However thereafter the director has completely lost his control over the flow, and the climax? just don't talk about it. There are numerous loopholes that you can observe. The hero runs away in a jeep someone has left on the road. Now who the hell leaves a vehicle with the ignition key keyed in. Anyways that happens very so often in bollywood (and even in Hollywood ) movies. During the chase scene, it is so evident that there is no more than 5 second time difference between the two vehicles; but when the jeep hits a rock and rolls over, the hero gets a full two minutes of escape time. What were the policemen doing for that much time? buying vegetables??Thrill. Little. And that mostly is the fault of the poor and monotonous second half, where the hero tries hiding the facts and the policeman is determined to uncover every single proof.Script. Too predictable. No dramatic elements. The moment, the guy tells his secretary about the murder, you know what way the things are going to happen. And then on, there is not even a single incident that you have not known in advance.I know there are people who say, "ok but thats the way it happens in real life. It was close to realty." Fine; but then whats the entire point of my watching a movie? Why shouldn't I choose a 11'o clock crime-scene program on television instead of spending money on this movie? Afterall I get to see exactly the same thing there, free of cost.Good movies are meant to be watched a thousand times and not just once; and I really can't rate a movie high, if it has nothing left for a second viewing. This one is definitely not a match for those.If all you are going to do is, to pick a crime investigation report and make a movie out of it, then all I can say is : "sorry! you can't get a better rating from me."

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.

I had some expectations from this movie but it is useless... seems like a news story about an accidental murder.. acting is OK from all main actors. There are no songs which is a good thing. The main problem is story, the person accidentally kills his wife who always suspects him for affair with his assistant. and then how the person is trying to escape from law and how he involves his assistant in this makes the rest of the story.. It is very slow at times.Also sometimes it gives feeling as if director is trying to make it a horror movie or something like that. And those crazy door shutting sounds ( reminds me of Vaastu Shastra )... they will drive you crazy once again.. guess the RGV effect.. I'd not recommend it to any one.My advice - stay away from it.. 5/10
