Such a frustrating disappointment

Pretty Good

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The acting in this movie is really good.

People have issues with the climax of this otherwise very intriguing thriller, the precise reason it was a lesser hit of the Perfectionist Khan, but that aspect aside, it is a wonderful journey throughout. I thought the movie was perfectly cast. Aamir was his usual self, but on the acting front I would give it to Rani Mukherjee who did remarkably well. Kareena was at her glamorous best and extremely seductive at times when required (like the scene in the elevator with Aamir). Nawaz had an important role to play and did so with aplomb, yet again giving a gentle reminder to the industry that he is the ready to succeed Irfan. The music gelled very well with the mood of the film, and I kept humming the numbers for almost a week after. An 8/10...

Talaash was released after Kahaani, which was a brilliant movie. Considering the fact that Talaash was released after it, it makes people expect more from this movie. I'm not saying that the movie was bad or anything, but it missed out on something that you realize after the movie is over. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was, asusual, mind- blowing. His acting skills make him stand apart and he creates a place for himself in the movie. A different place. You know how the lead actor gets all the obvious credits he's entitled to just because he's the lead actor and the character artists have to claw their way to the top? That's what Nawazuddin Siddiqui does. Although, I feel that he overshadowed Aamir Khan, I also feel that Aamir Khan did a decent job in portraying himself as a policeman. He couldn't pull Marathi though. 😅 But it's understandable, it's not his first language hence, we can't expect much, can we? Rani Mukherjee plays Aamir Khan's wife, who's traumatized by her son's death, for which Aamir Khan blames himself. Kareena Kapoor escorts Aamir Khan throughout his case investigation and the movie ends with an unexpected supernatural climax. Pretty unexpected! In conclusion, since it's a suspense movie, you can't watch it again and again. But the entire team and crew members have done a commendable job by not making another pseudo intelligent movie just for the sake of doing something out of box. Thank you very much, for that!

The main problem with suspense movies is they keep you engaged till the end but 90% of the movies fail in handling the climax well. This movie handles a difficult subject with extreme ease. This movie has a paranormal background but no where it goes over-board and keeps the suspense extremely well. Audience didn't even realize that what they are seeing is actually something else. Aamir khan decided to do this movie, so there was lot of expectations from this movie. This movie delivered it.Acting is real. Rani Mukherjee was Aamir's wife is excellent. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is sheer class. He is next in sequence of Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Girish Karnad, Sanjeev Kumar. Plot has enough twists to keep audience thinking in different variations.I can't think of any more justified ending than this one's.

I was seriously surprised to see that a thinking actor like Aamir Khan could not pick a better theme than the ghost of an unfortunate prostitute stalking and romancing him as the subject of this movie! Even though he is one of the most accomplished actors in Hindi cinema ever, his movies somehow tend to be rather boring and hard to watch. On a more positive side, Kareena Kapoor looks ravishing in the movie and carries her role with great finesse. Rani Mukerji is brilliant and solemn in her role, and to give due credit, Aamir plays the touchy, sensitive role of a tormented father with great conviction and aplomb. Too bad the script and theme are wafer-thin, and do not require a 3-hour movie to unfold without much intellectual enlightening or entertainment value.
