Movie Review: Talaash is a gripping murder mystery
Story
In
Talaash,
Reema
Kagti
has
shown
the
dark
side
of
Mumbai
which
hides
behind
its
glamour.
The
movie
opens
with
a
car
accident
in
which
actor
Armaan
(Vivan
Bhatena)
dies
and
Inspector
Surjan
Singh
Shekhawat
(Khan)
is
the
one
to
investigate
the
case.
But
soon
he
realises
that
there
is
more
to
the
accident
than
what
meets
the
eye.
On the other hand, Surjan is fighting his own demons of the past. Surjan and his wife Roshni (Rani Mukherjee) lost their only child in an accident. Since then, the couple hardly communicates. Though Roshni undergoes therapy to accept the reality, Surjan spends restless, sleepless nights and becomes workaholic to avoid thinking about his son's death.
While investigating Armaan's case Surjan comes across various people including a sex worker Rosie (Kareena Kapoor), who may have the missing link to the jigsaw puzzle.
Performances
While
the
script
is
indeed
the
hero
of
the
film,
the
cast
brilliantly
adds
to
the
charm.
Aamir
Khan,
as
usual,
has
done
perfect
justice
to
his
role.
He
has
been
successful
in
balancing
the
character
of
a
helpless
father
and
an
honest
cop
while
a
deglamorised
Rani
Mukherjee
convincingly
plays
the
role
of
a
devastated
mother
and
a
caring
wife.
And
undoubtedly,
Kareena
Kapoor
is
at
her
seductive
best
in
the
movie.
She
looks
beautiful
despite
her
gaudy
outfits.
The other shining star of Talaash is Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is commendable in the role of a limping pimp.
Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar have written a gripping story though we will not say that the movie is flawless. However, Kagti will keep you hooked and guessing till the end which in itself is no small accomplishment! However, the actual brilliance of Talaash comes in its climax that shall leave you spellbound.
Anand Subaya's editing is crisp and the cinematography of Talaash is worth praising as it brilliantly captures the red-light areas of Mumbai.
Music
Talaash
does
have
some
soulful
melodies
composed
by
Ram
Sampath.
The
song
'Jiya
lage
Na'
is
good
to
hear.
The
background
score
adds
to
the
suspense
of
the
story.
Verdict
Talaash
is
a
delight
to
watch,
because
of
the
surprises
it
throws
at
you
and
by
the
power-packed
performances
by
its
cast.
Though
the
first
half
of
Talaash
is
a
bit
slow,
it's
still
enthralling,
absorbing
and
engaging.
It
is
as
we
used
to
say
in
the
old
days
-
'a
total
paisa
vasool'.
Your Talaash for a good film definitely ends here!!
