Talvar review | Brilliant performances, gripping narrative

A tightly written narrative and mostly rational view of the investigations ensure Talvar is an edge-of-the-seat, engaging thriller that seeks to shock its audience. Vishal Bhardwaj's narrative is an insightful commentary on a voyeuristic media's tendency to jump to instant conclusions and the prejudices and limitations of our judicial and investigating systems. Konkona and Neeraj are as detached as their characters demand and Gajraj and other cops and investigating officers are impressive and identifiable. Irrfan Khan, expectedly, towers tall over everyone else.
