The filmmaker says that bagging the National Award feels great.

"It feels great because you work for only this day," he added.

This is not the first time Bhardwaj has bagged the National Award. He also won the National Award for Best Screen Play in 2015 for the film 'Haider'.

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, 'Talvar' was based on the 2008 Noida double murder case, in which a teenaged girl and her family servant were found murdered, and her parents were arrested for the killings.
