Marega Salaa

Delhi-based Inspector Jay is reprimanded after having an affair with Pooja, the daughter of a politician, and transferred to Bandra, Mumbai along with his colleague, Aditya. After about three years both are assigned the task of investigating the homicide of a popular musician, Anirudh Roy. Both conclude that there are three suspects with motives, namely Anirudh's wife, Tanya Singhania; his mistresses/girlfriends, Priya Malhotra, and Sonia Pillai. As the investigation progresses, an insurance investigator, Rahul Awasthi, also gets involved as there is an insurance policy of about Rs.80 Crores left to the beneficiary. The duo will have their hands full in deducing who the killer was.

Directed by Devang Dholakia, Marega Salaa leans on a strong ensemble — Jimmy Shergill, Kim Sharma, Hrishitaa Bhatt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2009.
