Talaash was supposed to be a suspense-murder mystery but it turned out to be a supernatural suspense drama. Not that I am complaining. Its just that I thought I will get to see a logical ending but nevertheless its still good. it has numourous positives.
1- performances by aamir, rani and nawaazuddin siddiqui. aamir totally dominates the film. rani has a short but powerful role. nawaaz as I said I fantastic. actually better than aamir.those who are thinking where is kareena, kareena is strictly okay. she has a short role just like rani , not to mention extremely important to the plot but still it doesnt gives her a good scope to perform. She gives her same old trademark "over-the-top" expressions all the time which sometimes is quite irritating. definitely not bad but definitely not her best.
2- the brilliant direction of reema kagti.
3- dialogues by farhan akhtar.
4- background score.
Even with these positive, the lame explanations for the mysterious murders brings down the whole film. its actually not bad, but doesnt seems intelligent which I thought it should have been.
so, its a good movie. great first half but disappointing second half.
