    Unexpected from Amir, but concept well presented

    by amol

    Acting by all three whoswho starcast is great. Usually Kareena has a plastic coat over her acting, but here she has shed that routine. Amir & Rani are spot on .... Great work.
    Must watch!!

    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 - Can watch

    by sumit.banerjee

    The movie is good, a bit slow at times. The actors have all done a great job, specially the character artists. The movie holds on due to them.

    The subject was managed well and the script was tight which ensured their is continuity. However feels overly inspired by some of its hollywood predecessors on the same topic and theme. Though I am surprised that a Bollywood movie did not take the concept over the top, but kept it subtle and within the parameters of the crisp script.

    Overall a definite watch

    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....

    A Predictable SO-SO Movie

    by apoorvh1

    At the start of the movie itself, we were able to predict what was gonna happen which in a way ruined the fun out of the movie. It had the potential to be a great movie but revealed too much at the start itself.

    A different kind of Hindi movie

    by BollyDon

    The movie moves at a slow pace, but manages to keep the tension throughout. The ending is a bit weak. This is not your typical masala movie. Overall great performance by all the actors, well directed and edited film. Must see it once.

    "Talaash" - An Entertaining Suspense Thriller !

    by AkbarN

    What can you believe ?, What do you believe? & What will you believe ? These are the questions asked in this movie. This movie will appeal to many and also be repelled by many.These types of movies are already made in 'Hollywood' but this has the Indian touch.

    Good suspense Movie

    by Sumukha

    Excellent movie to watch. Everyone acted really well,
    especially Nawazuddin Siddiqui did an awesome job.
    As usual Aamir is a thinking persons actor.

    The movie is just the opposite of what most Bollywood hits are made of. I
    Its slow paced.
    No melodrama.
    No item number.
    No action, jut plain old good fiction film.

    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.

    Ensemble acting, good story and a nice twist come together to make this movie a must watch

    by adeorukh1

    TALAASH is very different from most of the bollywood movies. Most bollywood flicks are known for their dances, songs, comedy and colorful locations. However, there have been plentiful examples in Indian movies, where story, script, and acting overpower the stardum of the actors to deliver a great movie experience. This is one of them.
    I won't get into the story, but if you want to enjoy the movie fully, PLEASE GO WITHOUT READING A WORD ABOUT THE STORY. Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena kapoor, all have left their stardum back home and appear here as STELLAR ACTORS, who are not just believable, but true to life. Even the simplest of scenes will keep you glued to the seat. The director has well managed to balance all scenes (no scene is too long or hasty). The script is well thought and intelligently managed. The nice twist is a matter of individual preference, but it fits perfectly in story. People who think bollywood movies as "sing and dance" should must watch this. Recommended!

    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..

    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.
