Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

i love Bobby Deol he is a great actor better then anyone in Indian cinema i have ever seen when it comes to serious acting this man surpasses everyone he can outclass any Hollywood actor i say since 90s when i was a kid i became a fan & watched almost his every movie there are some that i have missed but the main thing is the music is best always in his films regardless of the film being remembered.this film came in 2005 but i recently saw it again Vikram Bhatt directed this Vikram is actually my most favorite director in the world the way he tells his stories are amazing the guy is underrated.the plot:Avinash is a rich guy who gets married to Sanjana they start to live a happy life but after some time Avinash suspects Sanjana is having an affair and she is hiding some secrets one day he drinks to much the next morning he wakes up only to find out that his wife has been murdered,all evidence goes against him Avinash gets into a deep mess he gets arrested & gets a life time in prison how will he find out who set him up the answer is in this film.the cast:Bobby Deol looks awesome giving another best performance as always,Gul Panag looks lovely but Lara Dutta is a main highlight here she plays a negative role a evil villain along with Milind Soman.the story is not new its been done before in Hollywood and many other TV shows and worldwide you know people cheat each other for money the problem is its unnecessary lengthy for no reason editing was required at a lot of places but another bonus is the music all songs are nice but one song is my favorite O Sanam O Sanam.to put it simply if you are looking for something nice from Bollywood try Jurm a.k.a Once Upon A Crime 2005,my rating is 5/10.

A terrific crime thriller from a great director Vikram Bhatt. The whole film is charged with unpredictable heart pounding suspense. It is a bit similar to "The Fugitive" but "Jurm" is 1000 times better. At the start there were so many questions like "Did he kill his wife?", "If he didn't then who is the killer?", "Why is she murdered?" and "Is she even alive?" all of them were answered very properly with many twists & turns. Bobby Deol, Milind Soman and Gul Panag were the best, Lara Dutta was OK but I really found her funny every time she was scared especially when she was running up the stairs with her shopping bags. Songs are excellent the best song is the very first one "Nazarein teri nazarein" sung by Adnan Sami. When Avinash found out that his wife is alive and she was with Rohit the whole time he took is revenge in a very cleaver way, exactly 200% like what they did to him. The best scene in the film is the last song "Dil dil haye" when they were wearing scary masks.

This thriller has quite an interesting story filled with several shocking twists and turns. Just when you think Bobby's life can't get any worse, another bombshell drops on him breaking his heart even more. The second half is clever, intriguing, and different. Although I admit that Bobby Deol had to suffer a lot, I personally thought this his thirst for revenge was a little extreme and not healthy. You may disagree. Lara Dutta has given an excellent performance. Milind Soman and Bobby also did a nice job. Songs are also good. My favorite is "Mere Chahaton Ka." "Dil Dil" has been picturized and fitted into the story well.

"Jurm" is a film which is supposed to be a thriller, without actually being one. The film is very easy to predict, and lacks of suspense. Even though the film begins promising, it completely fails and falls in level afterwards. Vikram Bhatt is not able to maintain the suspense through out the film. The main problem with "Jurm" is that it has absolutely nothing new to offer. What you see has been seen several times before. On the top of that the chemistry between the actors is miserable as well. This is one of the few films where even Bobby Deol isn't able to play his part with conviction. Lara Dutta proves that being beautiful and sexy doesn't necessarily mean that you can act. Thank you! Gul Panag hasn't got much to do in the film. Milind Soman plays extremely artificially, and falls flat in front of Bobby Deol, in spite the fact that he is not playing well either. It is truly sad to see an actor of Ashish Vidyarthi's calibre to choose such a low level film, where he doesn't get the chance to play even 10% of what he is capable of."Jurm" is a terrible film with terrible acting and has nothing new to offer. This one doesn't even qualify as being a time-pass movie.
