7 KHOON MAAF

7 khoon maaf
director-vishal bharadwaj
written by-ruskin bond
music -vishal bharadwaj

 A writer of ruskin bond's calibre and the direction of vishal bharadwaj's,is a deadly combination for a movie and you couldnt find a better result than 7 khoon maaf
The irony about the film is that we learn that even a murder could be justified with certain circumstances.This is one killer movie from vishal bharadwaj and the best thing about the movie is the dialogues.The dialogues are crisply written.

The plot of the film is d story of Susanna Anna-Marie Johannes who falls in love and gets married just as any normal girl or woman but has to kill all of her husbands out of necessity.The time of the events taking place is also indicated by showing various incidents like the babri masjid demolistion,the kashmir revolts the taj hotel terrorist attack,the first indian nuclear test etc.

Her first husband is an army major played by neil nitin mukesh,major rodriguez.the second jamshed or jim as he wanted himself to be called played by john abraham is a rockstar who steals music and also becomes a drug addict.the third is a shayar (irfan khan).and then a russian spy and by the time keemat(anu kapoor) is to get married to suzzana i had lost count.Naseeruddin shah plays one of her husbands as well.
i d rather prefer you watch the movie to know why her husbands get killed cos thats an intriguing part of the movie and also funny how each of them get killed.Mark my words you are gonna love this part.
The music, both the background score and the songs are another treat,i especially loved the hindi heavymetal songs in the movie.
The negatives about the movie are tacky screenplay at some parts where the movie goes slow and the uneasy ending which neither did i understand nor did i like,these could become a reason why some would not like the movie.
overall i think its a great watch and i enjoyed it.
its a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
