Murder 2 (2011). 2h 7m | Not Rated

“Not surprisingly, Mohit Suri makes yet another rip-off (the Korean movie u0026#39;Chaseru0026#39;) and, of course, with the added recycled Bhatt material (eunuch u0026#39;rapistu0026#39; villain -as evident in u0026#39;Sadaku0026#39; and u0026#39;Sangharshu0026#39;), clumsy sex scenes and the Bollywood ingredients (song and u0026#39;danceu0026#39;, including the required item number). It may not be among the most expensive films but itu0026#39;s quite apparent that a lot of money has been spent. However, u0026#39;Murder 2u0026#39; still looks and feels like a B-movie. Camera-work is overdone. Editing is shoddy. Too many subplots that arenu0026#39;t fleshed out, lots of plot holes. The use of light is effective especially in the nocturnal sequences. Most of the performances are average at best. Emraan Hashmi does go overboard in several scenes. Jacqueline Fernandez seems to only have been required for her body. Sulagna Panigrahi does a confident job and… if there is one reason to watch u0026#39;Murder 2u0026#39; at all then thatu0026#39;s Prashant Narayanan who easily steals the show as the ruthless vicious sociopathic serial killer. One good that came from the box office success of this forgettable, rather lacklustre thriller is the appreciation of this actor, most of whose memorable works received little recognition.”
