Konkona Sen Sharma praises her ‘Talvar’ co-star Irrfan Khan

Talvar delves into the unresolved issues pertaining to the 2008 Noida double murder case in the light of details drawn from research and the court proceedings.

“Talvar” makes for a gripping and deeply disturbing film, largely thanks to the nature of the crime, but also because of the true to life style of narration, devoid any excess melodrama. The movie was taken to the 2015 Toronto Film Festival where it got awesome response.

Bold, direct and seamless dialogues manage to keep the viewers at the edge of their seats thus making it interesting throughout the entire movie.

According to Bharadwaj and Gulzar, no characters or information in Talvar is false. The latest to join this genre is Irrfan Khan’s “Talwar”, which is highly inspired from the real life happenings of the Aarushi murder case.

Talvar 1st Day Collection – Opening Box Office and Occupancy Report: In today’s world, many incidences happens. His senior (Irrfan Khan) flashes a sheepish smile, winks at him and goes “Next what?”

There’s not a false note in any of the performances, but especially memorable are Sohum Shah and Prakash Belawadi, alternately inscrutable and acidly amusing as Kumar’s subordinate and boss, and Irrfan Khan, who creates a character both worldly and world-weary (the scene where he turns up at his estranged wife’s doorstep at night is very moving).

Neeraj Kabi and Konkona Sen Sharma play Ramesh and Nutan Tandon respectively, and the movie entrusts them with the hard task of playing “the guilty and the damned”, as Gulzar said in a recent interview. And that anguished cry and the mother’s (Konkona Sen Sharma) too-stunned-for-tears face leave us deeply conflicted, deeply uncomfortable. Also watch out for Atul Kumar (Paul), another CDI officer who calls curtains on the whole probe. Tabu is clearly there to add star value, but ends up being redundant.

A 14 year old girl Shruti Tandon is brutally murdered inside her bedroom in the house. As guiding principles go, it proves to be an epic fail for the mother and father in Talvar, when they are faced with the corpse of their brutally-murdered daughter, and with the colossal ineptitude of the very police force that should be their protector. The music of the film is again given by Vishal Bhardwaj. In the process she brings out the voueyueristic sadist hidden in each one of us, the police, the CBI the media and the general public that latched on to every tid bit thrown at them thru electronic media like it were a celebrity wedding.

Talvar crafts a Rashomon-like scenario in which the circumstances surrounding the murder are viewed from the standpoints of three separate investigating teams, inevitably leading to divergent theories. The album consists of 4 songs. All these actors are known for their skills and incredible performance and they have left no stone unturned to understand their characters the best and dig in deep to give the best over the silver screen. Tabu in special appearance is welcomed.
