So- So

by taruni52

Nothing new about the story line. Kareena looks glamorous as always. Aamir has acted well, but after Taare zameen par, expectations from him have been raised. Not a must see movie.

Good acting. Screenplay could be tighter

by log_deepak

The movie starts promisingly with a realistic portrayal of Mumbai avoiding the glamorized versions presented by the typical movies. The suspense is held tight till the intermission despite the parallel inner stories. However the director let's the screenplay run a bit loose after the interval with too many deviations from the main story that leaves you yawning at certain points. However Amir, Rani and some of the supporting actors keep the movie alive with their good acting. Overall, a good watch albeit not unforgettable.

Talaash never ends ?

by itiors

A different indian movie with an intellect theme. Slow paced serious genre coupled with few lighter moments. Could have been better scripted. A subtle way of story telling to accept what life has to offer. Also, the suspense is upkept only for the 1st half & the 2nd half gets somewhat predictable. Good for a one time watch, certainly.
Recommend to go only if you can enjoy such genres

very Nice Movie (4/5 stars)

by

5 things i wanna point out about the movie:
1st: Movie is pretty slow .. not much action's going on.
2nd: but every single shot relates with the movie..so use restroom before the movie or during the interval.
3rd: All of these 3 superStars have acted very well
4th: It's little different than Amir's any other movies
5th: Rani's role could be little wider and better
Final thought, through out the whole movie, it made me TO THINK about the climax (which i, somehow, predicted correctly).. and i really kindda liked it.

Good Movie - Mature Content

by mashomashi

The movie keeps you going till the end. Good storyline and music. The girls have acted well and more emotional content, shows that its directed by a woman (a good thing). Always good to see Bombay on screen and Aamir performs well. Word of advise to ppl with little kids, this is a mature content and it will be tough to explain sex workers to the kids. Maybe get a babysitter?

Decent suspense flick!

by

Talaash is a taut, engaging, suspense drama (not thriller) which is a decent watch on a dull winter day. Given its an Aamir movie after 3 years, expectations are sky high and Talaash doesn't disappoint. At the same time it is not a cult, genre defining effort for Bollywood cinema. The mystery, which is an integral part of the movie, is interwoven between 2 (or three - depending on how you look at it) interwoven stories which run in parallel and provide you with a satisfying climax. Script is tight, dialogues apt and performances are solid. However, there is nothing exceptional, groundbreaking here as you expect from an Aamir Khan movie. Definite watch....but does not stand against Kahani (from any perspective), a film it has been related to long before its release. The difference between good and great....

FInd out if the answer indeed lies within..

by sandeepish

The good: The film is replete with good performances, very good screenplay, enthralling screenplay and backgroiund music.
The bad: A could-have-better performance from Aamir. The direction of the film after the pre-climax. The climax. But go watch it to figure if the answer indeed lies within.

MUST SEE THRILLER of 2012

by devarshiu

This was by far one of the best moving this year from Bollywood. Amir Khan at his best, one of those movies that keeps you on the edge of the seat. This one is for the theater..

BOLLYWHOOD THRILLER, FOR SERIOUS FANS OF INDIA'S FILM DYNASTY.

by Peneflix

Two years ago ensconced in a theatre in Delhi, the palest face in an arena of enthralled Indians, mesmerized by a Bollywood film revolving around the escapades of good and evil politicians, even without subtitles, I was astonished by the depth of the actors skills. Today, once again the lightest-complexioned individual, surrounded by Indian-Americans, in a Midwestern city, hypnotized by "Talaash", blessed with subtitles; feeling a sliver of optimism that Indians, removed from the confines of India's borders, are finally succumbing, supporting their fascinating genre in the Western world...

The answer, remedy "lies within", requiring monumental courage to flay the layers of denial, obfuscation; revealing a path to redemption, acceptance, peace...

THREE STARS!!!
