The translation of the title from hindi is mine, pardon me. After seeing the film, there would surely be the 8th murder, that of the director. I can’t pardon Vishal Bhardwaj for directing this after the wonderful hopes he gave after Ishqiya [Now, that was some movie]. How can you ever destroy all the suspense of a movie with its title. Now that’s dumb. After the 1st murder, you realize you have to plod through 6 more. In the end, nobody can blame you for baying for the script writer’s bloody blood. Priyanka Chopra is wasted in a role with potential. She did a much better job in ‘Fashion’. None of the male co-leads have enough in the plot to explore their repertoire. Fine actors, Irrfan khan. Nasruddin Shah, all wasted. The fellow playing the narrator, could do more with his face, for that was one of the better scripted roles in the movie.
Honestly, if there is a Susanna in the society, she deserves mental treatment. The movie at times seems to be trying to evoke sympathy, portraying Susanna as the victim.
If you are asking me why write a review for the film which was released last year…that’s coz Air India forced me to watch this on its flight. This was the only movie in the flight DEL-BLR. The other option of course, was listening to Annu Kapoor and Durga Jasraj, which I was in no mood for.
