Mumbai, Oct 7: Meghna Gulzar's 'Talvar that centred around the highly scandalised and shocking double murder of a 14 year old girl Arushi Talwar and the male domestic Hemraj Banjade, opened to packed theatres last week and has since been receiving a lot of positive responses since then.

Konkona Sen Sharma who plays the role of the mother of the murdered girl seems very happy with the audience reaction to the movie and her work. She said, "I am happy with the response that the film has been getting. It is a very good feeling. I hope more people go and watch it,"

Konkona plays the role of Nupur Talwar who serving her jail term for the double murder along with her husband Rajesh. The movie brings to light the complicated reality where personal differences, professional competition and politics culminate into a web of lies that can dangerously tip justice in the wrong direction. Neeraj Kabi plays the role of Rajesh Talwar as Ramesh Tandon in the movie.  

Irrfan Khan who plays CBI investigator Arun Kumar, is seen to truly fight for what is right but gets removed from the case as his principles turn out to be an obstacle in the path of other people's own agendas.

When asked how he prepared for his role, Neeraj said, "It's a huge responsibility to play someone who is alive. During my preparation for the role, I lay more emphasis on playing the mind and soul of Rajesh Talwar rather than playing his body. If you notice, he is far healthier than I am. Somehow, I couldn't gain weight for the film, but if it were possible, I would have done that too. I understood the case right from scratch. I had watched a lot of interviews and documentaries. For a subject like this, the research has to be perfect and our idea was to present every point-of-view while taking a neutral stance."
