A Bollywood Star's death, A Couple mentally troubled and traumatized
by their son's death, a prostitute form the crux of reema kagti's plot.
Set in the present day Mumbai , Talaash is a dark tale of Grief, Guilt
and Love completely without most of the modern day mumbai masala of
bollywood.Talaash also sees Reema Kagti return to direction after 5
years since her maiden successful directoral venture honeymoon travels.
The Script of talaash ( also helped out by zoya akhtar) has an inbulit tinge of darkness to it which helps the director build more synergetic darkness in form of the lights, settings and the dialogues. Despite the natural dark look and some pulsatile screenplay, the viewer cannot stop noticing the strong resemblences of talaash to movies like the sixth sense , the ring , insomnia to name a few. Also Zoya's screenplay points are very evident of her own karthik calling karthik at a few places.

The Strongest aspect of
Talaash, apart from its inherent dark feel is the performance of the
two leading ladies, Rani and Kareena. Rani's naturally gloomy eyes and
kareena's natural flair and attractiveness lends a lot more credibility
to their respective characters, wonderful selections for their roles,
one must admit.Needless to say, aamir lives the role of suri , a grieved
insomniac cop wandering along the streets of mumbai at night. But is
the character of suri too small for someone like aamir, just returning
from a cult movie ?
The music , especially the background despite being criticized ( for being ripped off from shutter island) helps fastening the pace of the movie.Reema's bold attempt at shrugging of regular masala items is a welcomable sign and lends that much more maturity to the script despite being slow at times. Overall ,Strong performances and some steady story telling till the end with a tinge of darkness makes talaash a decent thriller of the recent times. My rating 3.5/5
