Punit Malhotra: Hats off to Meghna Gulzar & team for making this one. RESPECT! It's easily one of the most hard hitting & well told stories ever! #talwar. Pls go watch the film to see how our minds were corrupted, what the actual truth is. You'll see the case in a whole new light. What's happening with the Talwars's is pure injustice. Losing a child and then going through this trauma is beyond imaginable.
