STORY: After the success of ‘Murder’, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt returns with ‘Murder 2′. Releasing Friday, the crime thriller will see Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez setting the screen afire with her oomph.

While ‘Murder’, which starred Mallika Sherawat, was directed by Anurag Basu, the sequel has been helmed by Mohit Suri. Apart from Emraan Hashmi, the cast of the film includes Prashant Naraynan, Sulagna Panigrahi and Sudhanshu Pandey.

Set in Goa, the film is the story of Arjun Bhagwat (Emraan), an ex-cop, who earns his livelihood by doing odd jobs. For For him, money is everything and he can take up any job to earn it.

In his quest to earn money, Arjun meets Sameer, a Goan gangster, who has been suffering a huge loss as his girls have been running away. Knowing Arjun’s expertise in investigation as an ex-cop, he assigns Arjun for the job offering him a huge sum and asks him to find those girls.

Priya (Jacqueline), a model, is deeply in love with Arjun. But Arjun doesn’t recoprocate because for him the only thing that matters is money.

While investigating, Arjun realises that missing girls are connected by a cell phone number. He devises a plan to send Reshma (Sulagna), a young college girl who is also a sex worker, to Dheeraj Pandey’s (Prashant) house. But the unexpected happens when it is revealed that Dheeraj is a serial killer and that he has turned into an eunuch.

Arjun gets into a tiff with Dheeraj and they both land up at a police station, where Dheeraj confesses to the heinous crimes he did in the past.

The director had to ask for some of Jacqueline’s dialogues to be dubbed because of pronunciation problems. The actress, who debuted in Bollywood with ‘Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai’, tried to perfect her diction by listening to the recorded lines.

Yana Gupta will be seen in an item number in the film. The item song is believed to have been offered to actress Bipasha Basu, but she refused to be a part of it. The song “Hale Dil” had to be re-shot to make it more suitable for television promos.

Yana Gupta’s item number, “Aa Zara” will not be airing on television promos as the number is too explicit and not suggestive for audiences under 18. Instead, the number was shot with Jacqueline Fernandez and Emraan Hashmi, which will be airing on television. The original number with Yana will still be kept in the film.

BOXOFFICE PREDICTIONS

The hype around the movie is quite good, but too much of adult exposure will keep the family audience away from the movie. Another –ve is, it is a multiplex audience genre movie but due to the huge success of Delhi belly in the high scoring multiplexes, murder 2 will not get that screen space.

It seem like the budget of the movie is a moderate one some where around 16-18cr(the fig is not the official release from production house). We except the movie to get a occupancy of 50% in the weekends. And we predict the first day business would be around 4.5-5.5 cr region & weekend will be around 14-16 cr mark taking 900 print release.
