, said: “we are overwhelmed by the response that' talvar' has garnered in it' s first week and are really excited for the days to come as the word of mouth around' talvar' is going really strong .
it doesn' t happen often that the president shows interest in watching a bollywood film, but the rashtrapati bhavan at raisina hill is gearing itself for a grand screening of the film talvar based on the arushi talwar muder case later this month .
talvar has enjoyed a steady second week at the box office and currently stands at the 26 crore mark .
on the whole, talvar is an engaging, edgy thriller with no dull moments. a must watch .
the film’s director meghna gulzar, who, has to her credit of having directed films like filhaal, just married and dus kahaniyan tries her hand in the hard - hitting genre with talvar. she does full justice to the film as a director. talvar is such a film in which the script is the undisputed hero. and meghna has let the film’s ‘hero’ do the talking. the film’s narrative is superlatively gripping and keeps the audiences glued to the edge of their seats till the end. while the first half of the film is outstanding and tight, the second half slows down after the interval, but picks up towards the end .
“i’m here to make films, ” talwar explains. “ [ heidi ] is not my first film, it’s not my last film. ”
talvar is a 2015 bollywood murder mystery thriller based on the noida murders in 2008. written by vishal bharadwaj and directed by meghna gulzar, the film stars irrfan khan, konkona sen sharma, neeraj kabi and sohum shah. the film premiered in the 2015 toronto international film festival last month and was released worldwide on 2 nd october .

“ talvar, ” based on the double murder of teenager aarushi talwar and manservant hemraj banjade, is premiering at the toronto international film festival and will open in indian cinemas on oct. 2 .
added meghna, “with this, i have stepped out of everything that is comfortable and that itself was exciting. ” talvar is scheduled to be premiered at the toronto international film festival next month .
director meghna gulzar says her new film does not attempt to take sides. like the 1950 film “ rashomon “, “talvar” looks at the crime from multiple perspectives – that of the parents and the cbi – and leaves it to the “sensitized viewer” to draw their own conclusion .
your performance in the film has been appreciated. how special is the role ?
box office: sanju is the 1st bollywood film to enter the ...
cut to 2015. the aarushi murder case is set to reopen, but in theatres this time. director meghna gulzar brings the much - talked - about murder case on 70mm through her film talvar .
the human tragedy at the centre of aarushi - hemraj murder case attracted vishal bhardwaj to write “talvar” as the director wanted to bring out the “absurdity of the system” through the real - life inspired film .
although, ‘talvar’ always had a modest budget at the production level, but the makers never wanted to compromise at the pre production level as this phase forms the core of the presentation of the film .
‘talvar’ is directed by meghna gulzar and features power packed performers like irrfan khan, konkana sen, neeraj kabi amongst others .
“talvar”, directed by meghna gulzar, was a retelling of three investigation theories behind the aarushi talwar - hemraj murder case .
talvar movie review: the film is as real as a constructed - for - the - camera document can be, with its portrayal of the professional rivalries between the investigating teams, and insatiable media persons .
another film made on the sensational case is manish gupta directorial ‘rahasya'. though the makers have denied any resemblance of the case, talwars have accused them of using the case as the film' s plot. the film reportedly shows talwars as guilty .
i want to see how close to reality everything in the film is .
legendary poet - lyricist and meghna’s father gulzar has written the lyrics for the film .
based on the investigation of the sensational aarushi talwar murder case, the trailer of meghna gulzar’s forthcoming film talvar, written by vishal bhardwaj and co - produced by junglee pictures and him, was launched on saturday .
the makers of ‘talvar’ have been hosting screenings all over the country, to utilise the tool of word - of - mouth .
talvar' s compared to rashomon but while that wandered through forests of fantasy, talvar boldly tackles reality. it offers totally different takes on two murders. but it is unambiguous about a third - fairness, slashed to pieces by incompetence and callous crassness .
“the subject and content of ‘talvar’ does not lend itself to having its characters break into song, ” gulzar said. “there are songs in ‘talvar, ’ but used in the background. ‘filhaal, ’ as a film, lent itself to songs and music. it is kind of organic to treat a film according to its subject, like the choice of subject was also a spontaneous one. no meticulous planning as such. ”
‘ talvar ‘ which is a content driven film is performing good due to its bold narration, superb direction & awesome performances by actors irrfan khan, konkona sensharma & neeraj kabi. after receiving rave reviews from the critics and enough audience appreciation, the makers even increased the number of shows for the film .
talvar gets your mind ticking along the murders' mysteries while it moves your heart at two lives - and one truth - lost .
irrfan khan, konkona sen sharma' s' talvar' mints rs. 3 crore on opening day | bollywood news – india tv
irrfan and konkona sensharma' s film talvar, which is based on the 2008 aarushi talwar murder case in noida, has minted rs 9. 25 crore during its opening weekend. the film' s business is gaining momentum slowly and steadily through word - of - mouth publicity. trade analyst taran adarsh tweeted :
tabu, irrfan khan, konkana sen sharma and sohum shah will star in the film .
63rd national film awards: amitabh bachchan won best actor and kangana ranaut won best actress .
in their pre - release interviews, the makers of “ talvar ” have emphasized a point over and over again – that their film is an impartial attempt at reconstructing the murder of a teenager and a servant in suburban delhi .
the film inserted little bits of humour between the prominent themes of rage, revenge and gruesome murder. the cinematography is absolutely fitting and the background score was very appropriate. the screenplay was done up well. the casting and editing departments worked wonderfully well (they gave the film its edge). the direction was fantastic. talvar is a director’s film. there have been criticisms about its duration and the procedural way the film was constructed, but therein lies the irony. the film shows you the typically delayed and procedural systems of justice and law on an issue such as a girls senseless murder .
vishal sir has been very excited about the release date. last year,' haider' came as a pleasant surprise... this year,' talvar' has already garnered a huge response at toronto international film festival. now he is keen to bring a film every october 2 ,
said a spokesperson .
meghna gulzar, whose film “talvar”, based on the 2008 murder of 14 - year - old aarushi talwar and her family’s domestic servant hemraj, premiered under the title of “guilty” at the toronto international film festival (tiff) to an overwhelming response, says if the movie sparks a debate, it’ll have served its purpose .
titled ‘nyoda' the film captures the events following aarushi talwar' s murder. vishal bhardwaj, who is writing the script for the film has been provided with all the related documents .
he said he didn’t know in detail about the aarushi case before the film. but what he heard from different sources during the film was “a revelation to me”, the actor said .
the advantage of working with bhardwaj (he is also one of the film' s producers) is that he can contribute his multi - faceted talents to the project. so as expected, talvar' s music is composed by bhardwaj adding to the dark texture of the film. and as a package deal we also get to hear rekha bhardwaj' s rich melodious voice singing the film' s closing song zinda .
talvar is an bollywood movie in 2015, it is drama film and irrfan khan, konkona sen sharma and tabu in lead roles. this film is directed by meghna gulzar and produced by vishal bhardwaj and vineet jain. it is made under the banner of junglee pictures, vb pictures pvt. ltd. , mirchi movies limited .
and i don' t think moviegoers are too upset that the film is a little shallow .
release date: - the film is going to release in theaters on 2 nd october 2015 .
“in fact, we have increased the number of shows across every theater chain. people have loved the film and we are confident of the film having a long run ,
she added .
last year, he delivered critically acclaimed turns in shoojit sircar' s piku and meghna gulzar' s talvar, but didn' t take home a single trophy (barring one for the former at the indian film festival of melbourne) .
talvar is an intriguing and gripping thriller and boasts of brilliant performances, witty dialogues and much more. you should definitely not miss this one .

irrfan khan starrer talvar is based on a real life incident – the mysterious death of a young girl named aarushi talwar in in noida, near delhi. the gruesome nature of the crime shocked nation. this week’s release talvar, is another ‘take’ on the story after rahasya and the plot treads on similar lines. will talvar prove to be as sharp as its moniker in decimating its rivals at with its box office collections, or not, is the question .
irrfan khan - konkona sen sharma starrer
talvar
, which is based on the infamous aarushi talwar murder case, will hit theatres on october 2 .
this is not a spoiler. as the notice right at the beginning of the film makes clear, talvar is based on real incidents and characters drawn from the aarushi - hemraj murders of 2008. the fate of the accused is well - known and talvar doesn' t rewrite reality. the biggest spoiler isn' t what happened in the plot or the new details that talvar reveals about the politics behind the murder investigation. it' s in the grim reality of what it means to be an everyman in india, someone who lives an average, everyday life .
the lawyer for the talwars has been quoted as saying the family had seen both the film and the script, but director gulzar denies this, saying the talwars must have seen the film’s posters and trailer. she says the team met a “lot of people” during their research, but not after the film was complete .
“if the film can start a debate to have a relook at the case, i think it would have served it purpose, ” said meghna, answering questions from the audience after the screening of the film .
kareena kapoor khan i / v on' veere di wedding': talks about film & her. .
talvar uses the ‘rashomon effect’ to cast doubts over the conviction of talwars in aarushi double murder case. the film, nonetheless, is an intriguing and gripping thriller that boasts of brilliant performances, witty dialogues and much more. you should definitely not miss this one .
there are lot of things that “talvar” gets right in the cinema department, but where it falters is in the morality of making a film like this. nupur and rajesh talwar have been convicted of murdering their daughter and their appeal against the verdict is yet to be heard. the filmmakers are careful not to mention their names anywhere, but the publicity material has made it clear that “talvar” tells the story of the talwars .
talvar < \ / i > received the fabulous response it deserves from all quarters. do you wish it had got a solo release, and didn’t clash with
with a thin line between the reel and real, a film on a real - life event can easily colour views of people, since the art of filmmaking comes with a fair amount of cinematic liberty. and even before the release of the film, the clouds of doubt over the authenticity of facts loom large over the director and the film. however, meghna maintains that the film is unbiased and follows a neutral approach .
talvar movie review: it is a difficult film to watch because we know all along that we are not in some fictitious la - la land; we are in noida, where the killings took place, and the events that unfold have a distinct ring of reality .
the film collected rs 17. 05 crore till friday. and after seeing the response to the film, more screens were added to every theatre chain across the country since it' s release, read a statement .
talvar has received critical acclaim, but it seems it’s also become an unlikely game - changer at the box office, rewriting movie viewing patterns, especially on weekdays .
best malayalam film pathemari, artistically narrated saga of 2 generations of malayali workers who migrated to gulf for livelihood .
directed by meghna gulzar and also starring tabu, the film is penned by music composer - filmmaker vishal bhardwaj .
bhardwaj said the film is very dear to his heart as “it has taken close two years of our life” .
khan exonerates the parents and the film takes his side, clearly casting him as the righteous hero. and yet, by the time the credits roll, even this man has given up and, really, fallen on his own talvar. the truth tires. doubt alone triumphs .
in talvar, bhardwaj once again tries to lead the viewer in a certain direction, perhaps driven by a hidden agenda to change the public opinion about the talwar couple convicted for the dual murder of aarushi and hemraj. as a matter of fact, talvar reminds this critic of the propaganda films of old like battleship potemkin —a revolutionary propaganda film made by the luminary russian filmmaker sergei eisenstein to evoke sympathy for the rebellious sailors of the battleship potemkin and hatred for their overlords—and triumph of the will —a powerful film made by the german filmmaker leni riefenstahl at the behest of adolf hitler to perpetuate the nazi propaganda. while talvar may not have been made in the same vein as those two monumental films, the propaganda is still quite evident .
a tightly written narrative and mostly rational view of the investigations ensure talvar is an edge - of - the - seat, engaging thriller that seeks to shock its audience .
straight away, talvar is super - sharp, a sword swipe at bollywood' s song - and - dance, mehendi - fuelled escapism. inspired by 2008' s aarushi talwar double murder case, for which aarushi' s parents are serving a life - term, talvar takes reality head on - and turns it on its head .
helmer meghna gulzar ’s “ talvar ” (guilty) premieres in toronto film festival ’s special presentations on sept. 14. the daughter of oscar - winning songwriter gulzar and actress raakhee, meghna gulzar started as a journo and segued into documentary filmmaking before entering bollywood with 2002’s “filhaal. ”

film trotted out by movie critics whenever contrasting narratives enter the picture. while competing accounts do play a big part in
gajraj rao, soham shah and atul kumar are excellent in their roles, adding action and adventure to this medium paced film. with so many plus points it is small wonder that the film has done well at the box office .
mumbai: sanjay leela bhansali' s
bajirao mastani
has landed five nominations, including in the best film category, at the 10th asian film awards, where
the assassin
is the front - runner with nine nominations .
it is puzzling how two principal performances from the same film were eligible for awards in the popular and critic’s categories .
talvar movie is based on the 2008 noida double murder case, in which a teenage girl and her family servant were found murdered, and her parents were arrested for the murders. the film is based on the parents' account of the events, and builds a defense case for them .
talvar has received critical acclaim, but it seems it' s also become an unlikely game - changer at the box office, rewriting movie viewing patterns, especially on weekdays .
meghna gulzar’s film that was earlier titled talwar will now be called nyodda. the film is a fictional dramatisation of the aarushi talwar murder case which is still being investigated. starring konkona sen sharma, irrfan, tabu, neeraj kabi and sohum shah, the film has been produced by vishal bhardwaj and junglee pictures. nyodda ’s release date is still undecided .
in talvar, bhardwaj once again tries to lead the viewer in a certain direction, perhaps driven by a hidden agenda to change the public opinion about the talwar couple convicted for the dual murder of aarushi and hemraj. as a matter of fact, talvar reminds this critic of the propaganda films of old like battleship potemkin - - a revolutionary propaganda film made by the luminary russian filmmaker sergei eisenstein to evoke sympathy for the rebellious sailors of the battleship potemkin and hatred for their overlords - - and triumph of the will - - a powerful film made by the german filmmaker leni riefenstahl at the behest of adolf hitler to perpetuate the nazi propaganda. while talvar may not have been made in the same vein as those two monumental films, the propaganda is still quite evident .
the film, which released alongside akshay kumar starrer “singh is bliing” and hollywood film “the martian”, managed to make its presence felt at the box office with positive word of mouth publicity. its collection is expected to hike towards the weekend .
[ talvar ] is bound to stir up controversy on its home turf with its dramatically potent depiction of police ineptitude, media excess, bureaucratic infighting and a possible miscarriage of justice .
baahubali has won the best film award at 63rd national film award. bollywood superstar amitabh bachchan won the best actor award for his role in' piku' while kangana ranaut won best actress for her role in' tanu weds manu returns .
whereas, mahesh kale took home the best playback singer (male) award for crooning in marathi film “katyar kaljat ghusali” .
the film has a rashomon like narrative, putting different viewpoints and storylines in place and whetting your appetite with each reveal .
even though the film is powerhouse of talent, it is irrfan khan who leads the film right from his entry. with this film, he has yet again proved why he is the most bankable star in bollywood today. his performance is absolutely magnetic and compelling. even though konkona sen sharma seems to have underplayed her role, she is convincing in her part .
he winners of the 63rd national film awards have been announced. the 11 - member jury was headed by ramesh sippy .
as investigator after investigator ploughs through technical evidence, multitudes of tests and testimonies, “talvar” does a good job of cutting it all out and keeping the entire process of deconstructing a crime interesting. like chaitanya tamhane’s “ court “, “talvar” deals with the flaws in india’s criminal justice system and how it is often governed by the prejudices and limitations of the people running it .
all of this indulgence can be fine, but it also feels like a diversion and it makes talvar a tad bit long. khan' s kumar stands tall despite this back story .
for all its positives, talvar fails to keep that distance, and therefore compromises its ability to be an impartial, unbiased chronicle of what is india' s most sensational murder case .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
bharadwaj' s script is solid and the case is eventful enough to hold our attention, but talvar' s direction lacks imagination. gulzar could have toyed with the audience a lot more than she does in talvar. however, one must also keep in mind that she has made this film within many constraints — not the least of which are legal since the aarushi - hemraj murders are an ongoing case — and considering the tightrope gulzar must have had to walk, she' s done well .
after giving up the rights to the title dishkiyaoon for shilpa shetty' s maiden production venture last year, pritish nandy' s production house has now shown benevolence to meghna gulzar. her upcoming film inspired from the aarushi talwar murder case which was earlier titled' nyodda' will now be called' talvar' .
talvar collected rs 2. 50 crore on its opening day, the box office collection witnessed a slight growth on its second day (saturday) and earned rs 2. 75 crore, and on sunday (october 4), the business went up by about 40% . on its third day, talvar has grossed rs 3. 50 crore from the domestic box office .
there is a side plot in the film that gives us khan' s back - story - - his troubled marriage to tabu. irrfan khan and tabu together are a dream cast. bhardwaj has worked with them twice, including in last year' s haider and in talvar he even gets to tip his hat to the director' s father sampooran singh kalra aka gulzar' s 1987 film ijaazat and its iconic song mera kuch samaan .
this resulted in the pre production cost of the film being equal to the production cost, which is something that rarely happens .
authenticity of the data. however, they are adequately indicative of the box - office performance of the film (s) .
organised by the asian film awards academy, the awards gala will be held on march 17 at the venetian theater in macau .
the title was initially registered with pritish nandy communications (pnc). a source close to the makers says ,
the rights were with pnc, but when vishal bhardwaj started writing the film, he had the' talvar' name in mind. so the producers decided to go with nyodda as the working title .
irrfan attributed his presence in the film to the power of the story. “when i read this script, there were different versions of the story, but still there were such powerful emotions in it. that is what compelled me to do the film. ”
in the film, aarushi is shruti, hemraj is khempal, the talwars are the tandons, and the cbi is the cdi. but the facts of the case—all those rusty swords of police incompetence and cbi politics—are unaltered. the film begins with nutan tandon (

murder case. i would like to watch the film and see how it presents this very twisted case. there have been films made on real cases like the jessica lal murder case, but no one killed jessica came and went. people watched the film and forgot about it. what is to be seen now is how this case is presented in this film and whether it leaves an impact on the audience’s mind. i haven’t discussed the film so far with other lawyers, but i would like to know their views as well .
earlier, bhardwaj had won the national film award for best screenplay for “haider” (which he had co - written with basharat peer). the film had also won him the best music direction honour. he had also been lauded for his compositions for “ishqiya” and “godmother” .
“i hope my film starts the journey towards closure, ” said gulzar, whose first two films were a family drama and a romance .
meghna gulzar' s film based ‘nyoda' on aarushi talwar murder case will reportedly show aarushi' s parents' side of the story .
the film is replete with a lot of black humour, something that bhardwaj says was inherent in the story despite its very tragic tone .
these apart, he had won the national awards for best children’s film (“the blue umbrella”) and a special jury award for “omkara” .
talvar < \ / i > is a very honest take on the aarushi murder case .

talvar, for the most part, is engaged in a tussle with itself, trying to balance the mechanics of the case, which lends it gravitas and importance, with the plight of its characters who, battling one misfortune after the other, are compelling material for any motion picture drama. bhardwaj chooses real over reel in talvar, sacrificing moments of potential dramatic tension in lieu of fixing his gaze on the case, a decision that doesn’t necessarily benefit the film at all times. (it’s curious how the opposite worked in haider —the first half of the film, taking its cues from the nonfiction book curfewed nights, worked significantly better than the second half, which was based on hamlet. )
meghna gulzar’s “talvar” also bagged the best location sound recordist honour. the best song award went to “kaathirun nu kaathirunnu” from “ennu ninte moideen”, while ace composer ilaiyaraaja won the best background score honour for “thaarai thappattai” .
talvar is a pro - talwar film. there is a very subtle undertone to the narrative that paints rajesh and nupur talwar, parents of aarushi who have been convicted in the double murder case, as victims of insensitive investigators and the judicial system in our country. talvar uses the ‘rashomon effect’, named after the japanese movie akira kurosawa employed by filmmakers to highlight how unreliable and subjective human perception can be, to cast doubts over the conviction of talwars. the movie shows three different versions of the incident: those of the cops’, the cdi’s and the parents’ .

that is what shruti’s father (neeraj kabi) cries out, in ‘talvar’. and that anguished cry and the mother’s (konkona sen sharma) too - stunned - for - tears face leave us deeply conflicted, deeply uncomfortable. ‘talvar’ is a difficult film to watch because we know all along that we are not in some fictitious la - la land; we are in noida, where the killings took place, and the events that unfold have a distinct ring of reality. the film– part police procedural, part dark, twisted crime drama– is as real as a constructed - for - the - camera document can be, with its portrayal of the professional rivalries between the investigating teams, and insatiable media persons .
and that is where talvar comes into play .
so what talvar does is that it picks up all the information, all the various theories, all the contradictions, all the lapses and the investigation that went into this case and lays it out in a fairly easy - to - understand manner, and tries to make sense of the clutter that we have been served over the last eight years ,

in a candid chat, the national award winner talks about
“i was particularly anxious about the screenplay of ‘talvar’ as it constantly jumps timelines and intricately weaves together multiple perspectives. it was a challenge to write and i am deeply humbled by this prestigious recognition, ” he added .
there was no indication that meghna gulzar, who’s made a couple of terrible films before this, would come up with something that sears, that make us question our precepts about fealty and loyalty, about crime and punishment. ‘talvar’, which rhymes so closely with ‘talwar’, is a brave film that devastates, and despite its flaws, makes for a compelling watch .
if it was possible to separate talvar from the appalling mismanagement of the actual aarushi - hemraj murder investigations, then we could perhaps discuss the film' s merits as we do with any other non - documentary film. we could note that the film' s pace abruptly shifts to fifth gear after intermission. we could shake our heads disapprovingly at the unnecessary cameo appearance that tabu makes in talvar and rue how little powerful actors like sen sharma and kabi have to do in the film. we could point out sohum shah and his handlebar moustache, both delivering an excellent performance as irrfan' s sidekick. we could applaud irrfan for delivering a charismatic performance and note that he' s starting to develop his very own stereotype of a smooth, sardonic gent who delivers cutting punchlines. (let' s hope we don' t remember ashwin kumar while watching irrfan in jazbaa next week .) we could include a little cheer for the excellence of indian theatre practice by pointing out just how brilliant atul kumar is as the nauseating paul .

bhaskar hazarika’s “kothanodi” won the best assamese film award, while veteran filmmaker gautam ghose’s evocative story “shankhachil” took home the trophy for the best bengali movie .
the signs were all there since the film was struggling to get the momentum going in buzz and hype. thankfully, there was better awareness created around the release timing but that was never going to be sufficient for a horde of audiences to be stepping in right from the first show. that said, the film did see gradual increase in footfalls as the day progressed. since the film is a hardcore multiplex affair, it was always going to be evening and night shows that held the key. in that aspect, the nishikant kamat directed film could breathe better at least to some extent .

helmer meghna gulzar’s “talvar” (guilty) premieres in toronto film festival’s special presentations on sept. 14. the daughter of oscar - winning songwriter gulzar and actress raakhee, meghna gulzar started as a journo and segued into documentary filmmaking before entering bollywood with 2002’s “filhaal. ” with “guilty, ” she’s taken a real - life story, centering around a 2000s serial killing case [ … ]
although talvar is a murder story, the plot also explores the consequences of greed and low level politics and personal rivalries which lead the obstruction of justice. the film also attacks the media presenting judgment even before the case is solved at court. director gulzar’s attempt to create an unbiased view point has gone under some criticism for being a sympathetic narrative of the parents of the victim .
an insider reveals ,
it is a very sensitive subject. moving away from the allegations that aarushi was murdered by her own parents, the film actually builds a defense case for the parents. the murder and the consequent investigation are narrated entirely from the parents’s point of view in meghna gulzar’s film. ”

aseem chhabra reviews meghna gulzar' s film on the aarushi murder case, the first of our reviews on arguably the most controversial movie of the year .
in my opinion, if a film were to be made on an issue as sensitive as this, in an age where morality is constantly being questioned, then the makers could not have done a better job. making a film on an issue such as this is a challenge in itself. it’s a strong film with a silent message. if the abrupt end to the murder case and all the complicated and corrupted articles in the newspapers and television features that followed did not give you closure, this film probably will. its intelligently done and is a must watch. i give it 4. 5 / 5 .
the makers of the film wanting to leave no loose ends conducted a thorough survey around the case by visiting noida and other places related to the case .
considering the sensitivities around the case, she said, “i am a mother and a daughter…it (the film) put me in a tricky situation. ”
coming from the team of haider, the film in spite of releasing with singh is bliing, managed to make a decent collection at the box office .
expertly commingling horror with humour, bhardwaj varies the film’s mood with ease, never taking the easy way out, never settling for a predictable narrative. however, talvar ’s central thrust—a murder mystery unfolding through three different, often contradictory, points of view—works better on paper than on screen, because the third investigation, in essence, isn’t markedly different from the first and, as a result, doesn’t deliver enough narrative tension. but that is, probably, the price fiction pays when it’s squeezed out of facts. bhardwaj and meghna gulzar, talvar ’s director, follow the sequence of the actual murder case with impressive precision, steering clear from reality only in terms of the film’s cosmetic elements—characters’ first and last names, the date and month of murders, the names of the various bureaus .
the sanjay gupta film has entered the second week with a decent number of shows and one waits to see if it manages to touch the 30 crore mark .
“thank you everybody for all your love. we are really happy that ‘bajrangi bhaijaan’ got the national award for best popular film, ” director kabir khan tweeted .
however, all these analyses are ultimately irrelevant when it comes to talvar. it' s more of a much - needed social document than a film. it will leave you shaken and fill you with despair. you will have no peace of mind when you come out of the theatre because the film shows you just how helpless and alone we are, how much power the system has over us and how carelessly power is abused. and that' s why you must see talvar. you must know just how badly the odds are stacked against you. you must know that this could be your story and if it isn' t, that' s because you' re lucky. not because crime happens in other people' s lives or because the police are there to protect you.
