Now this is a movie that may qualify to win the award of a movie that had the maximum
changes in its title, if there was any. Starting as Murder at Shrikrishna Mansion the title
was changed to 2'O Clock Murder to Murder at 2 to Galti Se and finally My Wife's Murder.
They say marriages are made in heaven.
They also say “Till death do us part.”
And while the first may be anyone's guess, what happens when the second comes, horribly true?
Have you ever thought about killing someone close to you?
In Anil Kapoor's upcoming My Wife's Murder, that dilemma is explored deeply. The actor feels it's his best film ever.
Ravi Patwardhan (Anil Kapoor) is a simple middle class man trying to etch out an existence
for himself and his family. The only joy in his life is his editing studio and his job where
he works on tight schedules and even tighter deadlines, along with his faithful assistant
Reena (Nandana Sen). He is constantly pestered at his home by his wife (Suchitra Krishnamurthy)
who persistently mistrusts on him, until one fine day he gets pushed a bit too far.
Ravi's possessive, controlling wife, she doesn't often stop short of nagging. She frequently
drives the mild-mannered man to absolute fury. And now she's dead. What do you tell the kids?
The innocent ones obviously can't be told straight out that their mom is dead. So the protective
father instinctively decides to hide the truth from them. But how long can daddy keep the lie
alive? And then there's the cop. Inspector Tejal Randhawa, in particular, doesn't quite like
Ravi. Boman Irani plays the sadistic cop. And he's got the suspect in his unflinching sights.
Isn't there always another woman?
Ravi is an editor, and shares studio-space with Reema, played by Nandana Sen. His wife
always suspected them of having an affair. Ravi always denied this. So what becomes of Ravi
and Reema now, with no wife to consider?
The film is directed by first-timer Jijy Philips, who assisted Ram Gopal Varma on 'Bhoot'.
The Hitchcockian thriller was written by Varma - among the first scripts he ever wrote.
Anil Kapoor liked the script so much that he decided to co-produce the film with Ramu.
My Wife's Murder explores the mind of the married man-on the run.
My Wife's Murder is expected to hit theatres in August.
