Murder 3 (2013)

Wonderful character development!

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I love the murder franchise both murder and murder 2 were awesome and especially murder 2 was superb but this part disappoint me little bit.I am not telling that this one is very bad but it's a little slow.The direction was OK.The screenplay locations and dialogues were OK.The acting was good from Randeep hooda.The acting from aditi rao hydari was a little bad.But the songs were really awesome beautiful and lovely.They are ry very good and pleasant to hear.So I can't tell you exactly that you should go for this movie or not.It depends on you if you want to go go or.....

The Bhatt camp has off late done good business with formula movies. 'Murder' series eponymously concerns murder mystery, 'Raaz' that has something to with the supernatural and 'Jism', well the name says it all. One common factor is skin-show and songs that go on to become hits. And there's the Emraan Hashmi factor.First time Director Vishesh Bhatt is believed to have said that their films are "succeeding backwards". True, the quality is depleting but this hasn't really affected their business. So, is this movie a game changer for Bhatt camp or not?An official re-make of the 2011 Spanish film "La cara oculta", the film is about a successful model photographer Vikram (Randeep Hooda) who finds his girlfriend Roshni (Aditi Rao Hydari) suddenly gone missing and the events that follow thereafter. One drunken night in a bar gets Vikram close to a hostess Nisha (Sara Loren) who soon start a romance. But Vikram's house seems to have some dark secrets.The dullest part in the movie is the first half, which seems like a series of songs with a bit of story thrown in and is exceptionally boring. At first we are told how Vikram met Roshni in Cape town, and then dealing with his romance with Nisha. The hero is shown to be living alone in a palatial home on the outskirts of Mumbai. Wondering how on earth did he manage to commute everyday in a self-driven car! Phew!And if you can manage to sit through this for an hour, then comes the surprise! The whole story goes into a different tangent from there on. Although a bit contrived, you soon accept it and flow along with the story. As with any suspense film, you are better off not knowing it till you actually see it. Then, the problem is that, by the time the film starts to get better, it may have alas, lost its audience already.Randeep Hooda, who looks more a goon than an actor makes a sincere attempt to act, in a role where he is brooding and mysterious. The girls on the other hand outshine him. Sara Loren, who earlier made a debut as Mona Lisa in 'Kajraa Re' with Himesh Reshammiya is here with a changed name. And there's Aditi Rao Hydari playing the kind hearted girl who leaves everything behind to travel with her lover to India.The biggest blunder is that the set hardly looks realistic. The home, which we are made to believe that it is from the pre-independence era doesn't remotely look like one. It is difficult to describe the lacunae further without discussing the suspense. Hence, leaving it at this so that you can figure it out. But for their own good the Bhatts need to pull up their socks rather than stay in the 'succeeding backwards' comfort zone.Given the kind of movie that 'Murder 3' is, it is an outright verdict is difficult. If you are looking for Emraan Hashmi style sleaze and songs a la Bhatt camp style, this movie doesn't have those. If are looking for edge-of-the-seat thrills throughout, then look elsewhere. Instead, if you are willing to sit through and daydream till interval time, your immense patience would be rewarded with a watchable suspense.

In MURDER3, erotica and sensuality which are the prime ingredients of a Bhatt enterprise take a backseat and first time director Vishesh Bhatt experiments with the noir genre through the crevices of infidelity and betrayal.The idea is unoriginal , it's a complete official rip-off of a Columbian movie but the treatment with its unconventional twist and turns makes it a watchable fare.Murder3 picks up momentum only in the post interval portions with some edgy thrills that Vishesh pours in , nevertheless he still has a far way to go when it comes to refined film-making skills. Music has been the forte of this camp and Murder3 satisfies us with its melodious chart-busters.With the plot restricted to the confines of the seemingly haunted house, it still shines with its cinematography and colorful shots. Dialogues have been penned with frivolity and at times appear too funny. Note this , when Randeep is questioned by Sara how he likes to stay in such a godforsaken place , he replies "nature ke kareeb rehna lagta hai mujhe.." and next we see him doing fashion photography with some skimpily clad models ! Of the cast, Randeep Hooda acting stays mediocre and I would say that his potential is still untapped here.Aditi Rao tries hard to look seductive but she falls flat. The actress also definitely needed to put more depth to her character and the way she emotes looks raw.Sara Loren looks glamorous, has the oomph quotient in abundance and she tries to bring some authenticity to her hard-edged character.But the leading ladies fail to create the sizzling chemistry with their hero.Rest of the cast is ignorable.I go with 2.5 out of 5 for Murder 3.It could have worked in a much better way had it been told with an emotional punch and enthusiasm.Regards, Ahwaan

So, I hear the plot is borrowed from a Spanish movie. But, since I haven't watched the original, I would not compare. But, Murder 3, most like its predecessors is a zealous thriller.Randeep Hooda is good but he has done better. Aditi fails while newcomer Sara Loren scores some brownie points with her chutzpah. Both are smokin' hot and are sure to give you half-orgasm somewhere during the 120 minutes. The plot is gripping, since it is legally borrowed but the execution is little unimpressive. It drags in the middle but an effective execution after the interval by débutante Vishesh Bhatt saves the pie. Yes, it doesn't have any masala dances or Dabangg-type silly scenes, but Murder 3 isn't classic cinema. With ounces of humor with a take on D K Bose and oodles of horror, Murder 3 makes a good night entertainer.But like the earlier two flicks, Murder 3 doesn't offer you the same entertainment. Yet it scores because of its different story and inclusion of love. I could sense the script but, you CANNOT predict this plot. That's what I loved about M3. I suggest you don;t go with the title because there is no relation; rather the tag-line which reads – "Love will be murdered", it's a clear indicator of what lies ahead.Bottom line: If you've watched the original, there is no point because Murder 3 is one time thrilling watch.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
