A remake of the Richard Gere - Diane Lane starrer Hollywood flick Unfaithful, Murder is the second directorial venture of Anurag Basu who earlier directed 'Saaya' for the Bhatts.

Sapna (Meghna Naidu) and Raj (Shawar Ali) are a married couple. They live in Dubai. Raj dreams of immigrating to America. To achieve this, he must earn and save enough money. So he starts to work seven days a week.

Sudhir (Ashmit Patel) and Simran (Mallika Sherawat) are a happy couple settled in Bangkok. Engrossed in business and chasing his dreams, Sudhir ignores his wife. In an alien land and novel atmosphere Simran gets terribly bored and longs to pursue new horizons.

But as time goes by, Sudhir becomes so engrossed in his business that he fails to pay any attention to his wife. As for Simran, boredom sets in as she tries to while away the lonely hours in a foreign land. But a chance meeting with an old flame (Emraan Hashmi) changes all this. What begins purely as platonic friendship inevitably ends up in a passionate relationship as they become emotionally and physically involved. Soon infatuation becomes an obsession and Simran's extramarital affair becomes obvious to Sudhir. At this point, Sudhir decides to confront Sunny but this meeting leads to some shocking revelations.

Others in the cast of Murder include Raj Zutshi, Uday Tikekar, Sheeba Chaddha and Shabnam. Anu Malik has composed tunes on lyrics penned by the Rahat Indori and the Bhatt regular Sayeed Quadri.
