set
in
Bangkok,
follows
an
Indian,
Shekhar
willing
to
help
out
other
Indians
in
the
city.
However,
his

to
save
her
from

Review:
Murder
at
Teesri
Manzil
302,
released
on
ZEE5
is
at
most
a
way
for
the
late
actor's
fans
to
watch
him
on-screen
once
again.
Directed
by
Navneet
Baj
Saini,
the
film
most
likely
was
shot
around
a
decade
ago
and
could
not
find
a
release
any
time
soon.
The
same
is
confirmed
by
the
outdated
screenplay
and
cinematography
which
unfortunately
objectifies
the
female
lead
and
glamourises
abuse
and
crime
in
a
romantic
light.
The
film
follows
an
unusual
handyman
character
Shekar
Sahyogi
(Irrfan
Khan)
who
is
willing
to
help
any
Indian
passing
this
lane.
However,
eventually,
it
is
his
helpful
nature
that
gets
him
in
trouble.
The
request
comes
from
Deepal
Shaw's
Maya
Diwan
who
wants
him
to
kidnap
her
and
get
a
fat
ransom
from
her
businessman
husband,
Abhishek
(played
by
Ranvir
Shorey).
After
beginning
the
plan,
Shekar
soon
realises
he
has
walked
into
a
neatly
woven
web
and
is
now
being
framed
for
a
murder
of
a
Maya
Diwan
who
he
had
never
met.
Already
stuck
in
debt,
Shekar
has
two
options
-
he
can
either
run
away
or
uncover
the
truth
behind
the
Maya
he
met,
the
one
he
fell
in
love
with.
Bollywood
earlier
has
backed
similar
stories
including
Bhagam
Bagh,
while
the
former
took
a
comedy
route,
Murder
at
Teesri
Manzil
302
is
a
more
serious
film
with
real
consequences
for
Shekhar,
which
he
is
ready
to
face.
The
makers
do
deserve
praise
for
the
several
twists
that
are
bound
to
surprise
the
audience
in
the
second
half.
Even
with
the
simple
screenplay,
late
Irrfan
Khan
does
get
a
few
good
moments
onscreen.
All
three
actors
including
Ranvir
have
given
their
best,
though
if
Deepal
Shaw
had
accepted
a
more
villainous
side
of
her
character
it
would
have
made
for
a
more
interesting
watch.
The
editing
does
not
do
these
characters
any
good
as
several
scenes
seem
like
they
were
just
clubbed
together,
raising
a
few
red
flags
and
loopholes
in
the
storyline.
Overall
with
a
more
refined
script,
which
is
acceptable
by
today's
audience,
Murder
at
Teesri
Manzil
302
could
have
actually
managed
to
entertain
the
big
screen
audience.
