My Wife's Murder

Ram Gopal Varma’s factory comes up with their next product. They have named it “My wife’s murder”. A husband kills his nagging wife by mistake and tries to conceal it from the Police. How he goes about escaping from the Police forms the crux of the movie.
RGV has trained his protégés well. Commendably well in fact. They match his values of film-making to perfection. But they do maintain their own style. Jijy Philip does make a mark with this movie.
Anil Kapoor lets the world know that he still exists with a knock-out performance in the husband’s role. And takes the role towards a father’s responsibility with grace. This performance must win him a critics’ award if Aamir Khan’s Mangal Pandey can be overlooked for a brief while. If he were clean-shaven maybe we could have concentrated on his facial expressions more. Being a RGV factory movie, that’s a crime. Clean-shaven faces don’t exist in their world!
Nandana Sen, who had played Rani Mukherjee’s sister in “Black” comes up with an ace here. She plays the role of a cosmopolitan girl who lives in with a guy. She is the assistant of Anil Kapoor at office because of which Anil constantly has to face his wife’s nagging! Later, she gets involved in saving Anil Kapoor from the Police. This girl can act very well. She expresses herself subtly but makes a definite impact. An excellent addition to the RGV camp. Can we have more of her please?
Bomman Irani, well, his first scene does generate laughter because people are still in the hangover of j.asthana from Munnabhai M.B.B.S which was a landmark character in Hindi cinema. But after that he makes his serious intent quite evident. He is an actor of the highest caliber. He belongs to the Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri cadre. He can handle any role with ease and does it with aplomb here too.
Sen’s live-in boyfriend does a good job. So does Bomman’s assistant.
Background music, cinematography, lighting, editing, screenplay, story & costumes are in typical RGV mould. Slick and to the point. There’s no overdo at any point. A technically accomplished movie. And this time combined with a powerful storyline, Jijy Philip takes RGV company with him to a higher level. Hope they make many more such good movies that are good to watch. A 2 hour on-the-edge-of-your-seat movie. Watch it you won’t regret it!
