Takethispunch Late at night on a deserted road, well-known actor Armaan Kapoor (Vivan Bhatena) loses control of his car for no evident reason, apparently trying to avoid something, and drives into the sea. Inspector Surjan Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) with his assistant Devrath Kulkarni (Rajkummar Rao) begins an investigation into Armaan's death. Surjan's personal life is in turmoil since his 8-year-old son, Karan, drowned recently during a family outing. His wife, Roshni (Rani Mukerji), is still grieving and Surjan has developed a guilt complex.Surjan learns that on the night of Armaan's accident, Armaan was travelling with 2 million rupees in cash, which is missing from the car. Armaan had given the money to a blackmailer, a pimp named Shashi (Subrat Dutta). Three years back, Shashi had performed a cover-up for Armaan and his friend Sanjay Kejriwal (Suhaas Ahuja). Once he learns of Armaan's death, Shashi takes off with the cash, leaving behind a mistress, Mallika (Aditi Vasudev). Shashi's friend, Tehmur (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), steals Shashi's discarded sim card. Shashi begins blackmailing Sanjay. In panic, Sanjay employs some thugs to murder Shashi. Tehmur begins to use Shashi's old sim card to blackmail Sanjay with Shashi's murder.

JayKumar Buddhdev 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..

anirban ghatak 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.

Shashi Nandivada As an Aamir Khan fan, I had to watch this movie!! And he did not disappoint as always.Story is good and believable, yes of course, the ending may not be acceptable, but you know, nothing is impossible!!!The characters, all of them have a role and that's a commendable part of the story!!!And yes, Kareena, she is the Queen of the movie...there could not be a Talaash without her!!!She is absolutely amazing in the movie, loved her totally, her style, her dialogue delivery, absolutely everything...Music is also very good, it stays with you for a long time after having watched the movie.Overall, a great watch!!
