Murder At Koh E Fiza Review - The Old-School Femme Fatale Formula With Modern Glam Appeal

Divaker Naik's Murder At Koh E Fiza will remind you of all those old school femme fatale Hollywood flick you have left behind 8 decades ago. The film sees Akram Khan, Amitryaan and Sunny Chouhan in the male lead roles, while Shreya Narayan plays the sexy lady who wows them all. If you remember watching those femme fatale films of Hollywood actresses like Barbara Stanwyck and Rita Hayworth, then you are going to see the same sex appeal here, but in colour instead of black and white.Murder At Koh E Fiza is about a young couple, Vikram (Amitryaan) and Kangana (Shreya Narayan), who are in financial trouble. The two plan to fool the insurance company and grab a Rs 100 crore policy by faking Vikram's death. Kangana succeeds in doing so with others, but then an insurance investigator, Udai (Sunny Chouhan), stands in her way. She has to seduce him and get rid of him at the same time, which is not possible without the help of Inspector Rajveer (Akram Khan). Will Kangana manage to handle Udai and Rajveer both by attracting them with her sexual appeal?The entire film is driven by Shreya Narayan's sex appeal, and she is an absolute bomb. The way she speaks and shows advances—the eyes, the expressions, and the body language—everything is damn appealing. You are bound to enjoy the Desi femme fatale in her presence, but it's for a specific audience, not everyone. Her intimate scenes with Amitryaan, Sunny Chouhan, and Akram Khan lit up the mood, and all the male actors pass your time with their decent presence. It's not a performance-driven film anyway, so you must enjoy what you are getting, even though it is some B-grade stuff.Badrish Patil's story and screenplay do not offer any novelty to the modern audience, but the modern idea to carry forward the old-school femme fatale is indeed workable. It just depends on what kind of films you have seen to date. The technical departments are below par, with cinematography, editing, sound design, and set locations adding nothing to your experience. Divaker Naik should have preferred an offbeat approach in the conclusive part, which might have boosted the outdated story. He plays safe, showing his insecure nature. But that's okay. It's not that bad either. Watch it if you are looking for a time-passing erotic thriller.
