Overall, Talaash is a well-directed film with good performances. Ram Sampath’s music isn’t very catchy, but is situational and well-placed in the film. Dialogues by Farhan Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap are good. Mohanan’s camera work is excellent, he captures the Mumbai night in all it’s glory. Both actresses don’t get enough scope to showcase their acting talent. Kareena Kapoor’s performance reminds you of her Chameli act. Rani Mukherji does her bit as a pained mother. Watch out for the scene in the second half when Rani Mukherji confronts him, the pain in his eyes of a father who holds himself responsible for the death of his son and the sea-side sequence with Kareena Kapoor when he breaks down – Aamir is brilliant. Performances: As a hardened cop who struggles with his own personal issues, Aamir Khan delivers a nuanced performance. While the writers convincingly explain the mystery, you will either end up loving it or walk away ridiculing the climax. The ending is outrageous, something that Indian audience wouldn’t expect from a big budget commercial film.
Second Half: The mystery begins to unfold and from here on, expect the unexpected.
At interval, you don’t really know what to expect next. Every shot has a meaning and takes the story forward. No screen-time is wasted on forced comedy, action or unnecessary item numbers. The narrative is gripping and absorbing enough to keep you hooked throughout the first half, even though the pace tends to slacken at times. Leaving his wife Roshni (Rani Mukherji) back home, he spends his nights driving through isolated streets.įirst Half: Talaash begins well, director Reema Kagti takes her own sweet time in establishing the characters and the mystery. Blaming himself for the accident, Shekhawat suffers from Insomnia. He is yet to get over his son’s tragic death. Talaash is also about Shekhawat’s personal life. Devrath (Raj Kumar Yadav) a junior police officer and a stunningly gorgeous sex worker Rosy (Kareena Kapoor), help him solve the mystery. Police officer Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) heads the investigation team. Story: Talaash revolves around a mysterious accident of a popular film actor. The film also features two of the most talented leading ladies in the industry, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji. 35 months after the release of 3 Idiots, Khan returns with Reema Kagti’s Talaash, co-written by the writers of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Reema and Zoya Akhtar).
It’s been a long wait for an Aamir Khan film.
