TALVAR – Hindi movie review

India's most controversial case reopens this October




Rating: *****

Irrfan Khan’s performance, Meghna Gulzar’s direction and above all, its story and crisp screenplay by Vishal Bharadwaj makes Talvar a must watch film.

Talvar explores the socio-economic divides in urban India: the affluent doctor-couple, the Uttar Pradesh policemen with their regressive mindsets and rough methods of investigation, and the migrants engaged in lowly jobs. And the procedural protocol that exists in the Police System.

A high profile double murder case in 2008 in Noida, India where a 14-year old Aarushi Talwar was found murdered at her home. The suspicion pointed out to the 45 year old servant who was missing from the house. The next day his dead body was discovered in another part of the building.

Sohum Shah to work with Vishal Bhardwaj and Irrfan Khan in his next

Sohum Shah was hailed as ‘the most brilliant discovery of the year’ for his breakout performance in Ship of Theseus last year, which also won the top prize recently at the National Awards.

Now the news is that Sohum Shah will be seen in a film written and produced by Vishal Bharadwaj. The untitled film will be directed by Meghna Gulzar.

Sohum Shah plays an extremely pivotal role in the film, that of an investigating officer along with Irrfan Khan. “It is a matter of much honor and excitement to share space with Irrfan Khan.I see it as an opportunity to observe and learn from someone who I believe is one of the finest actors working in the world today.”Sohum gushes.

Being a complete outsider from the industry and with no film background, it was Sohum Shah’s dream to work with both, Vishal Bhardwaj and Irrfan Khan. Sohum continues, “As an actor I would like the kind of work that would give me sleepless nights and demand complete submission to my craft. I deeply admire how Vishal Bhardwaj does exactly that to his actors with his wonderfully humane films. I really hope that I get to work with him often and quench my thirst to hopefully portray complexities well.”
