The murder of teenager Aarushi Talvar and the servant of the family Hemraj had shocked the entire nation. Five-year long investigation and extensive media coverage, it was a highly controversial case. After six years since the incident took place, the case has been re-opened in theatres with <em>Talvar.<\/em> Meghna Gulzar\u2019s direction, fine actors like Konkana Sen Sharma and Irrfan Khan appeared to be the pillars of strength for the movie. \u00a0Let us see how it turned out to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plot is the same as that of the real incident which took place in 2008. 14-year-old Shruti Tandon (Ayesha Parveen) and the domestic help, Khempal, are found dead in the house. Parents of Shruti, father Ramesh Tandon (Neeraj Kabi) and Nutan Tandon (Konkana Sen Sharma) are considered to be the prime suspects in the murders. Multiple investigations take place handled by three different teams &#8211; Noida Police team, headed by DG Gurbachan Singh, Gajraj Rao, and S.P. Shankar Singh; CDI team, headed by Ashwin Kumar (Irrfan Khan); and finally other CDI team, headed by Jai Dixit Kumar (Shishir Sharma). The movie manifolds three different perspectives of investigations and the case.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The script of the story is the real hero of the film and for this Vishal Bhardwaj definitely deserves applause. The extensive research he has done about the case is evident from the minute details being featured in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Irrfan Khan is as usual at his best; with every other scene he gets more intense in his role and establishes his character brick by brick. He holds the film together throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Konkona and Neeraj have also given their best in portraying the roles of the parents. Sohum Shah, who plays Irrfan\u2019s wingman, has given an excellent performance. All the other supporting actors have done justice to their respective roles.<\/p>\n<p>Tabu made a special appearance in the film and has looked subtle in her role.<\/p>\n<p>Meghna Gulzar, who is back in direction after eight years, has done a tremendous job. She maintains the tension, thrill and mystery throughout the film that is a part of the narrative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The music album comprises four songs: all composed by Vishal Bhardwaj. In an intense movie like <em>Talvar<\/em>, one can\u2019t expect loud music. The songs are generally made on a pensive mode and the pairing of Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Gulzar scores high in the melodies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details of songs in the movie:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u201cInsaaf\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Singer: Arijit Singh<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 03:20<\/p>\n<p>2.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u201cPatli Gali\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Singer: Sukhwinder Singh<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 03:33<\/p>\n<p>3.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> \u201cZinda\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Singer: Rekha Bhardwaj<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 04:22<\/p>\n<p>4. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u201cShaam Ke Saaye\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Singer: Arijit Singh<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 04:43<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Good?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie gives a different perspective to the Double Murder Case. We all have followed the Aarushi murder case and the movie shows the investigations and things we were never shown earlier. Sensationalism of the media and the loopholes of the investigations is an eye-opener for many of us. Moreover, no character in the movie is fictitious; the director and the writer have kept the originality intact with real-life characters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As such, nothing at all! The story is strong \u2013 well researched and well-featured. The entire team\u00a0has given their best. The only thing that could have been avoided would be the personal life of Ashwin Kumar, played by Irrfan Khan. Also, the movie is pro-Talwars, and shows them somewhat innocent \u2013 which might be disagreed by a section of the audience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The time and effort devoted on the research is evident in the film. It will show the intricacies that how the police or the CBI teams work in order to get a case solved.<\/p>\n<p><em>Talvar<\/em> is a must watch as it is different than the mainstream cinema.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0***1\/2<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2015 Recent Bollywood Movies Reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/dilwale-movie-review\">Dilwale Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/bajirao-mastani-movie-review\">Bajirao Mastani Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/hate-story-3-movie-review\">Hate Story 3 Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/tamasha-movie-review\">Tamasha Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/prem-ratan-dhan-payo-movie-review\">Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/charlie-kay-chakkar-mein\">Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/main-aur-charles-movie-review\">Main Aur Charles Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/jazbaa-movie-review\">Jazbaa Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/shaandaar-movie-review\">Shaandaar Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/pyaar-ka-punchnama-2-movie-review\">Pyaar ka Punchnama 2 Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/singh-is-bling-movie-review\">Singh is Bliing Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/kis-kisko-pyaar-karoon-movie-review\">Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon Movie Review<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/india\/calendar-girls-movie-review\">Calendar Girls Movie Review &amp;
