Talvar- a very well known upcoming movie which is already being famous as it is a true double murder story which happened in the heart of country (Delhi-Noida) in the year 2008. The case became one of media's attending dramas as it was alleged that the parents of the victim were the murderer of their only child “Aarushi”.

“Talvar” is an eye opening murder mystery movie which is yet to be solved by CBI investigation team and the Hon’ble court of India. It has drawn a line of “honour Killing” by highly literate parents Mr. & Mrs. Talwar (Doctors by Profession); simultaneously it was also suspected that the domestic servants of Talwar family were the reason behind the murder of Aarushi. Friends of Hemraj (Hemraj-second victim) were also convicted by the Delhi Police but due to lack of evidence they were acquitted by the trial court.

This movie shows various aspects of “Aarushi-Hemraj”double murder case and also brings it to attention of the general public.The movie is worth to watch with your family and friends. It depicts how office politics, professional rivalries and media coverage can influence the course of justice.  

It also arouses the masses of country who demanded justice on behalf of “Aarushi”, who was just 14 years old when she was brutally murdered and on the basis of investigation her parents were convicted by the Delhi police. "Aarushi-Hemraj" double murder case is one of the landmark case in the histroy of Indian Judiciary.

The Movie is as interesting as the case is and in itself describes how interestingly the murder mystery has been picturised in this movie and this is the reason which makes this movie incredible.

The best part of this movie is the cast which includes versatile actor Irfan Khan, Neeraj Kabi & very talented Konkana Sen Sharma; all of whom are famous for their award winning acting skills.

The Attacks Of 26/11-Movie Review

This is a guest post by Siddharth Gupta who blogs at The Standing Coin .You can follow him on twitter at @sidgsiddharth and at @thestandingcoin


NOTE: This review was also put up on IMDB(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2635622/reviews-17)

The Attacks of 26/11 is a movie directed by Ram Gopal Verma on the horrific and barbaric terrorist attack on the city of Mumbai and in essence, a proxy war waged against India, beginning on 26^th November 2008. Many expected this movie to be a dud or even worse, a disastrous rendition of an event that shocked us all. Contrary to all that, the movie is nothing like these descriptions and makes for a good watch.

The movie was more of a play-out the events drama, so the plot was not something that was woven out of thin air but rather the actual truth stitched together piece by piece. RGV uses an interesting narrative angle: The Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police narrating the incidents to an inquiry commission. This too was inspired from the actual commission which deposed Rakesh Maria(the actual JC at the time of the attacks). Nana Patekar essays the role brilliantly, as he not only acts, but embodies the character, flowing with it in a tone which is hard to describe but if I had to, I would put it this way: “ Aisa lagta hai ki he was the actual JC at the time of the attack”.

A young newbie actor Sanjeev Jaiswal plays the role of Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the terrorist who was captured and later hanged. Although I didn’t have my hopes riding on him, Sanjeev does a decent job playing the character. He has a mean look throughout the movie which tends to get a bit over the top at times but overall, is not too farcical.

Also, the highlights of the movie were: a. Due credits were given to all parties involved. Despite the hardcore media bashing it received post the attack; the Mumbai police had worked their level best last night. RGV encompasses all of this but also makes room for their errors. Plus, the movie is well crafted to ensure that the message (Terror has no religion) doesn’t die as the director sensitively handles the possible religious inflammation over certain scenes

Lastly, the flaws. The movie was a bit abrupt and short for me. For starters, it didn’t cover the shootings at Nariman House, Oberoi Trident and Taj adequately. The brave operation by the NSG which resulted in the extinguishing of the terrorists was omitted. Also, the role of the attack’s masterminds was just touched upon briefly and not detailed.

To end it, all I will say is this. The movie released on 1^st March 2013. 3 days later, nearly all shows at the cinema nearby are sold out. Mind you, this being a RGV movie, is a complete surprise after his recent debacles. So, this movie has something. Something that packs a punch.
