Sab kuch bahut jaldi jaanna chahti ho tum ...
Bhatt camp once again talk a lot about what great film they have made, once again they boast a lot on twitter, but the truth is they have once more made a average film that's unintentionally funny too.
Vikram (Randeep Hooda) gets a video message of Roshni (Aditi Rao Hydari) that she is leaving him. Vikram gets broken, loosing himself into drinks and eventually meeting Nisha (Sara Loren), dating her. The truth behind Roshni leaving is something Vikram ain't aware of.
1st half is the point of view of Vikram-Nisha, while 2nd half goes towards Vikram-Roshni. There are way too many loose ends in the movie. How does Vikram, a struggling photographer gets such a big bungalow to live in Mumbai ? Why Nisha is so keen to take risk and help a drunk Vikram at late night ? Was it necessary to have the real owners of bungalow as firangi, for their side story of what secrets the house had ? Why would the tone of Roshni be funny when she talks with Nisha ?
Vishesh Bhatt as a director doesn't showcase any worthy skills at all, unlike Mohit Suri who atleast created some great shocking sequences in Murder2.
The only part in the film that I enjoyed was post interval 30 mins where Roshni in her attempt to find truth about Vikram, gets herself in a big problem and needs someone's help to escape it. Being a remake of 'The Hidden Face', why Roshni disappears was known to me right from beginning.. one disadvantage of knowing the plot. The mirror has a key role, yet there are times when Vikram and Nisha look at mirror un-necessarily, whats the point of looking there during lovemaking.
Music is total dissappointing, not a single song that I enjoyed watching with film.
Adity Rao Hydari shines during 2nd half, in a otherwise okish performance.. didn't like her costumes, something I am used to with actresses in Bhatt films. Sara Loren didn't knew how to act, yet in 2nd half she was tolerable, looks wise she was very pretty. Randeep Hooda wasn't in form either, plus his hairstyle was a big turnoff. The guy playing inspector role was overacting to the core, plus his investigation looked so silly.. more to blame the poor writing.
The climax does surprise (though it ends all of a sudden), and the film also lives upto the tagline 'this valentine love will be murdered', but the film never manages to engage or feel for the characters. I wasnt happy with the way they show Vikram's character too. I would have preferred Vikram of 2nd half used in 1st instead.. it may had increased suspense.
Overall, Murder3 fails miserably for me. I would like to watch 'The Hidden Face' sometime this year to know if that movie was even good enough to be remade in Hindi.
Verdict : BELOW AVERAGE
