Cases with criminals and victims from the champagne-and-caviar crowd that play out in tabloids and news channels always make it to celluloid. Murder mysteries almost always provide inspiration to Bollywood thrillers.

The Aarushi Talwar murder case, has two films based on it: Rahasya, and a due-for-release Talvar. No One Killed Jessica was a success. This is why a quickie film on the Sheena Bora murder case makes so much sense.

The case is top-of-the-mind right now. As sensational as they come. It's likely to be talked about months from now. A mother allegedly killing her own daughter? Gone are the days of Mother India, call this one Murder India!

Who should helm this? If you want a blockbuster, Mohit Suri would be your best bet. The guy's handled dark characters, their complicated lives and gruesome murders in Ek Villain rather well. We'd have said Anurag Kashyap, but that film would take forever. And who wants that? Best possible low-budget quickie? Madhur Bhandarkar's your man. Hell, he might even call the film Media (because Indrani was heading a news channel. Go figure!).

Indrani who? The actress who'd be perfect to play 'Mother Murder' Indrani Mukerjea would undoubtedly be Bipasha Basu. Why? Ticks all the boxes. Older screen husband? Check. Played a femme fatale? More times than she could care to count. And she'd have the bulk dates needed for a quickie. Why a quickie? It would have to be one, to cash in on the currently high curiosity factor. Maar hathoda, loha garam hai and all that!
