Murder 3 Plot, Movie and Music Review
Story/Plot
Murder 3 opens with Vikram (Randeep Hooda), a hot-shot fashion and wildlife photographer , viewing a video of his girlfriend, Roshni (Aditi Rao Hydari) telling him she is leaving him. Vikram becomes distraught. While drinking away his sorrows at a bar, he meets Nisha (Sara Loren) and they had a relationship where Nisha moves into the house that Vikram was sharing with Roshni. Vikram becomes a suspect in the disappearance of Roshni, however, the investigators can find no evidence of Vikram's involvement in Roshni's disappearance.
It is revealed that the house is owned by a German lady who shows Roshni a secret room built to hide her husband just in case someone came to look for him because he was in British Army at the time of 1947. The room is self contained and sealed off from sound.
In a flashback, it is also shown that Roshni, jealous of Vikram's relationship with one of his colleague, decided to pretend she is leaving him. She creates the video saying she is leaving as she hides in the secret room. The room has some one way mirrors where she can observe Vikram's reaction. When she decides he has had enough she looks for the key and realises she lost the key and is now trapped in the room with no way to contact him.
Nisha finds the key to the secret room, but she doesn't know what it is used for. Nisha eventually figures out that Roshni is trapped in the house because Roshni is able to communicate through tapping on the pipes in the secret room. As Nisha is ready to open the door, she pauses and decides not to rescue Roshni because she might lose Vikram after that.

Positive Reception
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 4 out of 5 and stated that Murder 3 is one of the finest thrillers to come out of Vishesh Films. An outstanding story narrated with ferocious enthusiasm. Vishesh Bhatt hits a boundary in his very first attempt! Sukanya Verma for Rediff.com has given 2/5 stars and says Murder 3 has some badly-acted thrills.
Soundtrack

A quintessential Pritam romantic track. Shafqat Amanat Ali might be one of the most underrated great singers of present times. A simple and lovable romantic melody that harks back to tracks by Pritam in Cocktail, Dum Maaro Dum and Agent Vinod.

If anyone can notice any difference between the main version and Film
Version, I am keen to know.
2. Mat Aazma Re 4:11
Watch Video View LyricsJust when I thought KK days were long gone, he makes himself relevant. Although I still believe his days are numbered. Anyways, getting back to the song, this song is everything that made us love KK's commanding voice. Nice instrumentals with a tinge of intense emotions sung well by KK makes this a great song.
3. Hum Jee Lenge 4:35

If anyone in Bollywood is doing rock music well, it is Mustafa Zahid and his Roxen band. The use of low-pitch acoustic guitar is unexpected and novel. Besides his style of mildly sad melodies is great, unless you are looking absolutely cheerful. Great transitions between lines which gives a nice structure to the song. The transition between soft tunes and hard-hitting louder notes have been executed well.

The Rock Version is nearly identical. For the
sake of comparison, the original sounds better and it is a little longer than
the Rock Version and thus feels well developed.

A simple and straightforward R&B track by Nikhil D'Souza. The song opens with a fast tempo and slowly leads to main theme. Owing to this, the song feel a bit repetitive by the late middle to the end. Enjoyable song.

Ditto like Teri
Jhuki Nazar, if anyone can find the difference between the main and Film
versions, I am interested.
6.Teri Jhuki Nazar ( Film Version ) Pritam Shafqat Amanat Ali 4:38
7.Hum Jee Lenge( Rock Version ) Roxen Mustafa Zahid 4:17
Overall, Murder 3 gets a 9/10. Pritam has been so consistently successful with his major
albums, that it's almost boring to say: Another fine album by Pritam, with some
help from Roxen band. He shows some semblance to his past work. The album is strange though. There are four original
tracks and three alternate versions.The three alternate versions are barely
alternate. Wonder if Pritam just got lazy or had some money dispute with the
recording company or is it good old fraud in plain sight by Sony Music India,
that the alternate versions of the songs are near identical.
