what is the mystery ?

today i read in entertainment section that Priyanka chopra is in Kashmir shooting for a movie named SAAT KHOON MAAF (forgiven for Seven Murders). Though I did wonder on why should they shoot in a place where anti-social elements could possibly shoot them dead but my attention was soon drawn to the number Seven? Why Seven Murders ? Why not Six or Eight ?

In fact the significance of number Seven is quite a bit ..Seven Wonders of the World, Seven Rounds of the Sacred Fire (as part of hindu marriage), Seven Vows of Marriage (again as part of hindu marriage), Seven colors of the rainbow, Seven continents in the world and seven days in a week. Then there are books named Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Seven Laws of Spiritual Success and movies like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Seven (Saath) Hindustani and now a MTV reality show - Seven deadly Sins and one wild safari !

But why Seven ? what is the mystery ?
