Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Wordiezett So much average
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
debniger The movie was going so good from the very start but was spoiled in the second half. It is absurd for an investigative officer to visit the crime scene with a child. Some other things are noticeably bad (and do not happen in real life) like the officer playing game on his cellphone, the two investigative teams meeting, Judge asking police to start the case on the doctor and his wife, 'funny' interrogation of Kanhaiya, the 'interrogation' of the police officer by the CBI, so on and so forth...The rating of 3 is given exclusively on the demerits of the first half and the silly omissions and commissions in the first half. The script writing is not above average and the direction is somewhat mediocre, if not below average. Irfan and Konkana shine, as usual.
karnatakacetstudents Here are the 10 flaws in Talvar Movie1. Narco analysis as on YouTube shows that Krishna says that He did not murder 2. Irfaan Khan thinks you need to be superman to move a fridge 3. No scene to show why mother left the key on Aarushis door 4. Irfaan Khan doesn't bother to check mobile tower data 5. Shows 2 plus 5 people in house. Even watchman enters but parents unaware due to AC. But they can hear the door bell from the maid !!6. Krishna rather drinks after murder and goes to Aarushis room again to slit her throat .. 7. Parents never seek revenge or justice or look for any reason or evidence for death of their only daughter8. Hemraj is allowed to entertain guests after 12 midnight and also he is allowed to steal liquor from owner !9. 5 doors open and close at least 2 times .. Main Door, Grill, Terrace door, Aarushi's door, Hemraj's door.. Mother dint hear.. Father also dint hear.. 10. Thick Khurki can make surgical precision cut on some important nerveConclusion - Parents may not have murdered.. but they know more
scottshak_111 India's biggest unsolved case couldn't get a truer justice. Talvar is simply mind-boggling. From the engaging frames of Meghna Gulzar comes a tale without a tail. An investigation that will leave you at your wit's end. With Vishal Bhardwaj's magnificent writing comes a piece that will let you fathom the 'what' and leave the 'how' for you to figure.You can't really forget the Aarushi murder case ever. Primarily because of all the media uproar it had managed to garner. It was always the talk of the town and always playing on the TV. The media were in the search of their masala (spice) and boy did they get their masala. It turned out to be a case where the conclusion was dropped first and assumed true way before the actual investigation. A perfect resonance to a typical Indian societal head! It is brilliantly reflective of the shortcomings of the Indian Police as they failed to take things seriously. It is one helluva slap to the smug face of the Indian Constitution, and would always be remembered as a black patch in the historical leaflets of crime-solving.Irrfan Khan brings a unique vibrancy to the flick that is downright commendable. His innate acting skills prevail in the air, and bring with him the right attitude. Right from the moment the movie begins it has a natural flavor to it, something Gulzar has managed to capture perfectly. All the characters in the flick are very well portrayed and brilliantly enacted. It has a side story too to make things interesting with the protagonist, to take your head off the steam occasionally.Names have been changed for emphasis which is quite understandable looking at the gravity of the case and the propensity for things getting blown out of context.It leaves you with trillion questions, and a billion what ifs. If at the end of the movie you don't come up with a conclusion in your head, and don't find yourself gnawing hard pressing on the detective brain of yours, the job of the filmmakers would be incomplete.That is the beauty of the movie. It leaves you baffled, wanting for more, and a proper closure. But Alas! That's how life is. Unsolved.
Hitesh Gupta Well, I am at a loss for words. This is a comedy, and a tragedy. You'd laugh on how stupid things are, how stupid the people are, how stupid the media is. Wanna laugh more : this is real. And here is the punchline : We all know this, everyone who has exercised a little bit of his/her own judgement and not swayed by the media propaganda knows this. But none of that matters. And we kind of expect our country and country people to keep letting us down like this now. Nothing out of the expectations here. You see the tragedy if you ever think that we could have been better. Now, something about the movie. Beautifully made. Great storyline, the way it is shown. Great actings. Irfan and Konkana have been my favorites.
