Movie Review: Talaash
First things first, I liked Talaash. Maybe because I had heard enough negative reviews to lower my expectations or maybe just that I have a low base level for Hindi movies:). Anyhow, I was very involved with the movie throughout and enjoyed it completely. Would agree that the end was a bit out of the place but the rest of it was very well crafted.
The movie follows Aamir Khan's investigation into the death of a famous movie star along with his dealing with personal pain and loss. The movie is very well developed, slow at times but still bringing out the different aspects of the story very well.
The acting was brilliant, both by Aamir and Rani. But for the first time ever, I liked Kareena and her acting. As the outspoken but warm prostitute, Rosie. There is pain in her eyes and looks like she has a lot to share (and hide). The music was good, always in the background and adding to the storyline.
I think the only part out of place was the end. Not that Kareena was a ghost, but the scene where she saves him from drowning in the sea. I can also understand why in today's world, a movie about ghosts would not be welcome. But if you can just get past that, you will love the movie (As I did). Its for sure different than previous Aamir Khan movies a lot of which were watchable multiple times, like 3 Idiots or Rang De Basanti.
This one isnt, buts its definitely worth a watch once. Will give it 4 stars.
