My Wife's Murder is innovatively fresh and captivating movie that takes you into the mind of a frazzled man who ends up killing his wife accidentally.

Produced by Ram Gopal Varma and actor Anil Kapoor jointly, 'My Wife's Murder' marks the directorial debut of Jijy Philip, an assistant to Varma. Besides Anil Kapoor, the movie stars Nandana Sen , Suchitra Krishnamurthy and Boman Irani .




The movie stars Anil Kapoor as a husband who is constantly harried and persecuted by his bickering wife. He plays Ravi Patwardhan, a simple, middle-class man who works as a video editor. He often works extra hours, meeting the deadlines. Under him is his assistant Reena (Nandana Sen), a dutiful, beautiful girl with respect and reverence for her "Ravi Sir".

After grinding away throughout the day, Ravi, like any ordinary mortal, seeks peace of mind. But he can't get it, thanks to his forever bickering wife Sheela (Suchitra Krishnamurthy) who keeps accusing him of having an illicit affair with Reena, his assistant.

Sheela is a woman who has little emotional consideration for her tired, worn-to-a-frazzle husband. Her vocabulary has choicest of expletives for Reena and her inexhaustible energy for complaining leaves no room for the elusive quiet that Ravi longs for.

In one such spat, Ravi loses his composure and hits Sheela. Her head hits the sharp edge of the bed and she collapses. She dies instantly, leaving Ravi in shock and disbelief.

Should he call in the cops? No! Who will take care of the kids? Should he conceal the murder? Yes! But how? Before Ravi could get things straight in his head the doorbell rings. He must act fast before the maid or the kids get home.

Jijy Philip makes an impressive start with his first movie. Unlike the trend nowadays, he does not let 'style' take precedence over the movie's story. The movie's script has finesse. The dialogues, straight out of life, also carry the weight of things that are not said but are implied.

The movie would not have been as gripping had it not been for the refined, restrained and meticulously etched performance by Anil Kapoor. The actor wears the weary and frazzled look to such a conviction that makes it easy to identify with his character's inner turmoil resulting from the confused mess of unfortunate situations.

Suchitra Krishnamurthy looks perfect as the annoying wife. Nandana Sen offers nothing stellar but she breezes through her role with relative comfort.

All in all, My Wife's Murder is worth the time and money spent.
