What happens

Murder is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language erotic thriller film directed by Anurag Basu and produced by Mukesh Bhatt. It is the first installment in the Murder film series. Based on the 2002 American film Unfaithful, which was itself inspired by the 1969 French film The Unfaithful Wife, it stars Emraan Hashmi, Ashmit Patel and Mallika Sherawat. The film is set in Bangkok, Thailand. Murder was released on 2 April 2004 and, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, managed to become a highly successful venture at the box office, earning a "super hit" status from Box Office India. The film was a huge breakthrough for its lead actors, particularly Hashmi and Sherawat. It received an A certificate from the Indian Censor Board for its erotic subject and scenes. The film was remade in Kannada as Ganda Hendathi (2006). It is considered as being a cult classic and began a film series, which continued with Murder 2 (2011) and Murder 3 (2013).
