Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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...

lavenderonion This film has a very Hitchcock feel to it and delivers much of the same amount of suspense as the master himself. Though the 'mystery' of the murder is solved in the title, the story is more about a man's emotional turmoil over having made a grave mistake and a social commentary on fears of injustice.I found it interesting that the protagonist's predicament with his murdered wife was closely parallel to the investigator's own relationship with *his* wife. In fact, on further inspection, one can see that all of the relationships in this film are twisted or uneven, seemingly happy and normal on the surface only to have undercurrents of stress and underlying mistrust.Casting was incredible, the acting perfection. The theme is very dark and is not typical of your usual Bollywood film, and for this alone it is worth watching. A very suspenseful, thought- provoking film.

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.

ChiBron Just a 2 second flash of Anil's face after his wife slaps him was enough to tell me MWM, at the very least, would feature a stunning performance from Anil Kapoor. And right I was. This is the best male performance of the year. Anil's ability to convey so much through subtle changes of his face and body is like watching beautiful art unfold on the screen. There are moments in the movie where he just falls apart....its really something to watch. Ur heart goes out to his character. And this tremendous performance is further enhanced by the overall product MWM is. Well etched characters, excellent background music, technically slick(RGV production after all) and a screenplay so brilliantly written that there isn't a single boring frame in the entire movie. Every scene builds the tension and gets the viewer engrossed into the characters' lives like few movies have. Director Jijy Philip deserves BIG TIME kudos for perfectly executing this realistic thriller and extracting superb performances from the entire cast(even the cute little KIDS rock). Boman Irani continues to amaze me with his ability to BECOME every character he plays. It's hard not to love this guy. The girl who played Rani's younger sister in Black(don't know her name) is very solid as well....and I especially love how her and Anil's relationship is portrayed throughout.Bottomline, MWM is a must-see. A simple story taken to great heights with an award worthy screenplay and spectacular performances from everybody, especially Anil and Boman.
