This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I went to see Talaash with an open mind. Hoped Aamir and crew would have something for me. Furthermore, I wanted to see what Katagi had to offer after her fabulous debut!Aamir is good, as alwaysI wish there was more of Rani Mukherjee in the film, she was her character, but wish there was more of her. Rajkumar seems like the next big thing; he's calm and silent.. kinda coolHowever, it is Kareena Kapoor who steals the show with her cheesy lines, mischievous eyes and subtle look.. A good film after her incredibly touching and funny Honeymoon Travels! glad i saw it..

A brilliant movie and best one from Bollywood in 2012. Aamir khan has rightly said that it is not suspense thriller, but a suspense drama. Some people have complained about slow pace, but I never, for a min, found myself bored during the movie. It was interesting and engrossing throughout. Twist was not really mind-blowing (and that is why i am not giving it 10 on 10), but nonetheless was still good enough for me and when you see the movie again, you will find that this only could be the best logical ending and hints were given throughout the movie. I liked it more than "Kahaani". And i really loved the song "jee le zara" - enigmatic and apt for the movie.I think this movie is highly underrated, largely because it is a dark and serious movie with no scope for any comedy. Has been and will be liked by quality cinema lovers, and may be headache for people who watch just comedies and action and have reached the same level of intellect.

i saw the movie yesterday. until then i thought that this will be a amir khan's master pies like 3 idiots or tharee zameen per. but after watching this.. i was disappointed. script - The beginning is promising.But in the middle of the film, it feels like that writers wanted to keep the length of the film & wrote some useless scenes & dialog.i was so bored in the middle. conversation between kareena & amir was some times too long and boring. also i think that they've tried to complex the beginning & messed it. But depression & the loneliness of Amir khans was perfectly Written. no doubt about that.Acting - amir and rani was.... well... good. but not quiet Great.it's a role of typical police officer and even a normal actor can do it. but the loneliness and depressing part of Amir was well acted. kareena.. as always ( I believe) over acting.camera & edit - only thing in this movie i appreciate the most is camera and editing. it is very fascinating & shot composition is quiet Great. music support was medium. But this movie is not for Amhir. i expect more mature scripts from Ferhan Akthar like Dil chahatha hei. Anurag kaushep (Additional dialog) why did you sign up for this....?????

The sorting hat in Harry potter faced the same challenge as where to place Harry in the house is faced by me tonight as I write the review on request of my close college friends and old colleagues. Well, the central theme in the movie is premature death n accidents in life and leads us through a passage of occult, suspense, lust, crimes, policing and mumbai's night life as the story unfolds. The movie rests with 4 strong actors as pillars and all have played their parts well. Amir donot try to hog the limelight at all and the film has good exposure to display sheer acting brilliance from all four pillars, viz Amir, Rani, Kareena and Nawazuddin.Nawazuddin has right arrived in 2012 rightly, with yet another brilliant support cast after "Kahaani, this time as the sidekick lamed – "Tehmur". Tehmur's love story and an unworthy life among prostitutes and goons make an emotional drama to witness. I would not be surprised if he wins a filmfare nomination for his role in the movie. Although honestly I found his character have the same minor shades as "Tungrus" played by Naseerudin shah in "Mandi".Rani shines brilliantly when her critics had written her off as a lonely housewife saddened by her past and loss. She reminds me of Madhuri dixit in "Prahaar" with almost zero screen makeup. She crafts a space for herself ably with her acting skills. Kareena is the life line of the story and she plays yet another role of a Mumbai call girl after "Chamali". Although, here she is urban and more beautiful this time. One easily feels for her character as she unfolds the mystery of the film. She looks amazingly preety which was needed for the role and I think you too would love her till the last shot.Amir, as an artist has tried yet another different angle and I salute him for it. This is his third repeat as a cop/IFS after "Baazi" and "Sarforosh" and he seems to portray as a policing leader very well . Amir, does brilliantly some under water scenes and is highly grey as a character. He is lonely and suffers from a false self conviction for his past. However, this role would not definitely go down as his best 5 characters just because of the high standards he sets for himself. But he does total justice to the lead role.The background score and music is average but are pulled up two brilliant female leads – Sona Mohapatra (S' Jayate fame) and Suman Sridhar( "Shaaitan" fame). The story also lags connectivity in terms of suspense merit's. Some dots do not connect especially the lost one hour on the night of the car accident and why did "Amaan Kapoor" change his route that night? The USP of the film is the climax, so watch it early else the fun spoilers will tell it to you in a coffee meet next week. But keep the occult angle open as if you have faith in God, you must acknowledge the evil! Infinity has both + and -, right? Avoid the film, if premature death disturbs you and you dnt like occult topic.
