Murder 2 (Watch New Hindi Film)

Now, don’t read that as Unique Serial Killer. But that may also ring true. Murder 2 is definitely not a sequel unless you can call it one as a popular song of Murderis played in this one. But it can be called a “sequel” as there was only a murder in Murder and in this one there are murders galore. This is a movie that stands alone (and tall) and can be watched again and again and still seem fresh. And the villain walks away with our sympathy just like Shahrukh Khan in Darr. Comparing Prashant Narayanan’s Dheeraj Pandey with Sadashiv Amrapurkar’s Maharani in Sadak would be grossly unfair as Narayanan is not only a eunuch, he is psychotic misogynist. Although Mukesh Bhatt says the movie is inspired by the notorious Nithari killings, it is actually a major copy of South Korean movie Chugyeogja/The Chaser (2008) with minor changes here and there. Even the movie posters are copied from another South Korean film Bad Guy (2002).
Director Mohit Suri deserves kudos for making an exceptional movie even before he turned 30. This is incidentally his 7thmovie in as many years. Mahesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films is certainly turning vishesh (special) for doling out tasty and unique fare. If last week belonged to Imran Khan (Delhi Belly), this week belongs to Imran (sorry, Emraan) Hashmi. Or shall I say, Prashant Narayanan takes a march over Emraan. It is a battle between a serial kisser and an emerging serial killer.
