Talaash

A well made suspense thriller.

The Film begins with a Car Crash . A dead Body follows and thereafter its all about what happened. Talaash Begins !!

The film grows slowly on you as it takes you to after dark lanes of Mumbai. Investigation unfolds in good old fashioned way. Similar to what we have seen earlier this year in Kahaani. You may even solve the case by the time the film enters the last 30 mins . But its the complexity of characters that makes a difference here.

Movie has some very good performances. As excepted Aamir impresses with his portrayal of guilt ridden Cop who cant sleep. A controlled act of a father in pain. But its Kareena Kapoor who impresses more as prostitute who gets friendly with an investigating cop. After starring in series of senseless 100 crore movies this is her best act since 3 Idiots. And on a high after his trip to Wasseypur , Nawazuddin Siddique delivers another solid performance.

But its not the actors who make Talaash the movie it is. Its the people behind the camera , who opted to make something different.

You might have seen some similar movies in Hollywood. May be better ones. But this is our own. That's what makes it special. Go for it if you want to encourage thinking filmmakers like Reema Kagti, who took the Road Less Traveled in Bollywood. Else don't complain about senseless action-comedies that we are offered every Friday.

A Good Watch.
