Talvar movie releases on 2nd October and is directed by Meghna Gulzar. Based on the Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj murder case of 2008 in Delhi that had the whole nation in uproar, I was fortunate to watch it first at a special screening organized for a chosen few.
Meghna Gulzar reopens the double murder case in her movie presenting the audience with hard facts and a plot that is well researched and brings out all the sides to the case. The screenplay is crisp, engaging and very frank. The editing is expertly done and the director is able to take the story forward with well-planned twists and turns.
The acting is realistic and all the actors played their roles well. Irrfan Khan as the Investigating officer suited his part and I followed him in his investigations of the case.
Konkona Sen and Neeraj Kabi as Nupur and Rajesh Talwar again had me empathizing with them and feeling their sadness at losing their only daughter and then suddenly also feeling that niggle of doubt regarding their innocence.
The actor playing Hemraj brought this misunderstood and mysterious servant alive in the movie forcing me to question if Hemraj was really just a victim or if he was as involved in the crime as shown during the investigation?
Sumit Gulati as Rajesh Talwar’s compounder, Kanhaiya who was also a major suspect in the case played the role beautifully. The other characters are also played their parts well and in all the movie sometimes left its re-enactment mode and seemed like everything was happening in reality.
The names of the Talwar family have been varied like Talwar is now Tandon, Aarushi is Shruti to give the movie a somewhat fictional feel.
The young girl, Aarushi would never have thought that she would die so young and like this and all through the movie this same thought kept running in my mind. Why did she have to die so young and like this?
The various theories, facts and investigation procedures used in trying to solve the crime have been well meshed to bring a tight, fast paced and interesting film that had me engrossed right till the end.
All in all, Talvar is re-enactment of the most controversial murder case in India but it should be taken like it is meant to be, a fictional movie and not seen as the solution to the crime. I was thoroughly entertained all through the movie that is emotionally rich and recommend it to everyone. Go watch it with your friends and family.
