Pre-Post Production and Casting :

The film shooting was done mostly in Mumbai and Goa. Earlier, Bipasha Basu was offered as a leading actress, but she refused. Then film director Mohit Suri offered the leading actress role to Asin Thottumkal, who refused the role of the female lead 'not powerful enough' and also declined the role. The part was then offered to Jacqueline Fernandez, though actress Sonal Chauhan was also considered.

After declining the lead role, Bipasa was offered the item song "Aa Zara". When she declined again, the role was offered to Yana Gupta, who accepted.

The scene showing in the song "Haal-E-Dil" had to be partly re-shot in order to make it more suitable for use in television promos.

Yana Gupta's item number "Aa Zara" was not shown during television promos as it was deemed too explicit and suggestive for audiences under 18. Instead, an alternative music video for the song was shot with Jacqueline Fernandez and Emraan Hashmi, which was release on television and was used to promote the song. The original scene with Yana was still used in the film.

The DVD of the film was released on 1 August 2011.

Review of the film :

This film reviews are mostly positive from critics.

Critics reviews :

• Times of India critics gave 3.5 star out of 5 star and stated that "There may be nothing original about the story, yet Murder 2 has enough to give the masses a mast time.While Emraan is his usual edgy self, Prashant Narayanan is absolutely riveting. Jacqueline Fernandes replays her role as succulent eye candy and the rest of the ensemble cast are competent."
• Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave 4 star from 5 star and stated that "MURDER 2 is one of the finest crime stories to come out of the Hindi film industry. Also, as a film, it lives up to the expectations that you may associate from a sequel of a smash hit. This one's bolder, more erotic and has a story that will astound and astonish you. The Bhatts have a winner on hand!"
• Mayank Shekhar from Hindustyantimes gave only 1 star out of 5 star and noted that "There are more than a few in this loud picture, about a deranged, scary-looking serial killer who derives mysterious pleasures from hacking up prostitutes in haunted Goa."
• Raja Sen of Rediff gave it 1.5 star from 5 stars and stated that "Murder 2 is flat, boring and not worth talking about. Even Emraan, sporting less stubble than usual, seems baby-faced as he goes through the motions. It might be inspired by some obscure film, but I don't even care enough to look for its name. By now, I've come to accept that the Bhatts have a bigger DVD collection than me. I do wish they'd stop flaunting it, though."
• Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2.5 star out of 5 stars.
• Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu noted that "At best, Murder 2 is a show reel for the talented Prashant Narayanan, a men's room glossy featuring the saucy Jacqueline Fernandez and just another day on the job for serial kisser Emraan Hashmi."
