Talaash

Talaash : this movie is perfect in every sense a mind blowing thriller

brilliant movie

mashara acchi aurat ki vajah se nahin chalta acche mard ki vajah se chalta hai

It will be injustice to say the movies was dark! Well The male lead was exceptional he is just growing in stature day in and day out. If bollywood has started making some really heart touching exceptional movies then a huge amount of credit goes to none other than Aamir. Kareena and Rani were equally good too. Not to forget nawazuddin (faisal from gangs of wasseypur). Bollywood's future is bright man. We have started thinking while making movies and brave directors and actors are willing to work on different stories not thinking about commercial success. I am going to watch it again and again and again.... Aamir - The real king khan of them all... TOM HANKS of India.... Once in a while a song comes that you will keep singing in your head... jee le jara is such a song. Muskanenin jhooti hai was equally good. MUST WATCH FOLKS 10/10

It felt as if writers brought the movie to a point where they did not know what to do with it.They cud have done wonders with what they had but sadly so they ruined it. Beginning was too good and cinematography good too. But in the middle of the story the concentration on Rani took the movie off the track I think. This movie may appeal to some Indian audience who are ignorant of this theme but not to those persons who have enjoyed the great movies e.g. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others". However, I must appreciate the hard work of Aamir and Kareena, they both did well. Nawazuddin was exception and very hones to his role. 2 points just for him. But overall the movie is slow and looses it's way down in 2nd half.

Although I am a great fan of Aamir Khan, yet I don't like this movie. The reason is very simple. This movie is based on the theme which is employed by many Hollywood movies in the past. This movie may appeal to some Indian audience who are ignorant of this theme but not to those persons who have enjoyed the great movies e.g. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others". I was able to guess the suspense right from a scene in the beginning where a female character from the movie tries to invoke the spirit of a deceased child of the lead characters. I am too much disappointed with the effort of Mr. Perfectionist. He had tried hardly to put most of Indian Masala with the stolen theme, yet the final outcome was not so perfect. I felt cheated after watching this movie.

You got to say that when you watch talaash you will feel something is really missing in the film, a thriller, a crime films always needs one especially when its of an investigation genre. The creators of the movie missed that trick here, don't know whether it was done intentionally. An accident which took place in some beach hangout spot in the very early hours of morning, killing a favorite actor of the Indian film industry. Inspector Shekhawat( Aamir) takes up the investigation, who is also suffering from insomnia due to the loss of his son in an accident. The accident scene in which the actor was done makes the movie rolling after the titles. Awesomely picturized by Mohanan the DOP of the movie, who also had the headache of creating almost seventy percent of the movie in the dark, which he did rather magnificently. Along side the Talaash of the killer, Shekhawat also want to keep a good relation with his wife Rani who is suffering mentally for the same loss. Then comes Kareena Kapoor who tries to help Shekhawat in his talaash of the killer has done a good job, does appear in the whole movie as Aamir Khan's aide. Nawazuddin Siddiqui an aide to one of the suspect Shashi plays wells though his journey ends rather quickly. A part from Aamir and Kareena many have been sidelined into small shells. Aamir khan tried to bring his authority of the main lead as cracking some potential jokes during the interrogation and on one rude scene which he saves shashi's girl in love. Story and screen play by the director Reema and Zoya Aktar made the film in a way that no missing links comes from here and there, which they successfully succeeded, still misses that feeling that needed to suck the audience into the movie. Farhan Aktar who wrote the dialogues with some assistance from Anurag Kashyup well and truly fabulously. Ram Sampath's music was not that applauding have done neatly... Movie will not create a fuss as compared to the recent flicks of Aamir. Its a movie that you can surely watch without a doubt. It brought some good making into Indian cinema.

A police officer Surjan Singh (Aamir Khan) is assigned to investigate the death of a famous actor who died in a car accident. Singh has developed a guilt complex n is struggling to heal after the death of his young son due to drowning, his superiors r not happy with his investigation method, his grieving wife seeks solace from a medium believing that the dead son is trying to communicate. During investigation Singh learns that the young actor before his death was being blackmailed by a pimp n a big amount of money exchanged hands. Things gets complicated when a handicap beggar (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) gets hold of the sim card belonging to the blackmailer n he starts blackmailing the friends of the dead actor. This film is aided by top notch acting, crispy editing, striking cinematography, soulful songs n mesmerizing plot. It has shades of Nicole Kidman's Rabbit Hole n Demi Moore's Half light. But mind u, it is a better movie than the above mentioned films n while the other two r more of drama, this one is half investigative thriller with enuff suspense n tension along with a nice twist. I first saw this in a theater when it released. Revisited it recently. I am writing a review of this film again as my wife deleted my old review of this film cos she felt I did not justify the earlier review by not mentioning the names of the films which inspired the subplot.

Went for Talaash screening expecting a great thriller but what i witnessed was sheer magic on screen. Story starts with an ostensible accident of a star followed by police investigation.Chief investigation officer is played by Aamir Khan. The story of Talaash is not only about suspense element ,suspense is just a part of beautiful lesson portrayed in Talaash i.e. " Coming to terms with loss". Go with high expectations and you will be pleasantly shocked to see the brilliance. Songs Jee le Zara and Muskanein look exceptional on screen. Can't help,have to give it a 10/10.

Bon film !
