The film is based on Aarushi murder case. Starring Irrfan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Neeraj Kabi and many others in important roles, the film is directed by Meghna Gulzar. 'Talvar' is purely based on the 2008 Double Murder Case, also known as Aarushi Murder Case. The film tries to narrate the story from the perspective of Irrfan Khan’s character, Ashwin Kumar, which was based on real-life CBI Investigator Arun Kumar, IPS, the lead investigator of Aarushi Murder Case. Instead of the giving away the verdict, the film displays all the possible events and lets the audience decide for themselves. by Snehha Suresh
