Cast: Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Neeraj Kabi, Tabu, Gajraj Rao, Sumit Gulati.Direction: Meghna Gulzar.Genre: Crime.Duration: 2 hours 12 minutes
Story: Teenager Shruti Tandon and domestic help Khempal are murdered - but who did it? And while the truth unravels, what else gets slashed?
Movie Review: 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.

In neatly separated segments, Talvar presents contrasting views on who killed Shruti Tandon and Khempal. Was it Shruti's outraged parents? Khempal's outrageous friends? Or did botched investigations butcher Shruti and Khempal, even after they were slain?
Talvar gets your mind ticking along the murders' mysteries while it moves your heart at two lives - and one truth - lost.
The acting is superb. Irrfan absolutely smashes it as Central Department of Investigation (CDI) officer Ashwin Kumar, whose sharp intelligence, dark humour and melting tenderness towards his wife Reema (luminous Tabu) light up every frame. Irrfan displays whiplash-like control, casually drawling to a dim-witted cop, "Agli baar koi khoon bhara haath chor jaye, toh dhyan dijiyega..."
