TALAASH - Double Movie Review:


Though i knew  the consequence  or suspense  whatever u say, i was  gripped  to it right  from the very first second,!! In ordinary genres  we  can call it to be  a suspense thriller, or  maybe  even a  slight hinge  of fear.! But for  me  it was  some  real extraordinary grasping stuff.! And  i felt  maybe  sometimes  when you know what you are to expect makes  you watch it all the more  carefully and with  all the more  curiosity.!

Being a  policeman, sometimes  does  take  a  test of your patience, your  thinking power. How much do you fight to make  your  brain distinguish between whats real and whats not.. whats  luring you and  what seems  the unpleasant truth.!! Suri did really lie  between a  situation just jamming up even more ..
And well, for  me  the  most intriguing part was  the  guilt  that was  being shown by amir  as  a  father.!The  scene where  the  boat gets  turned upside down, and  amir  runs  through and  takes  a  leaping dive into the lake was just awesome..!
But what was  more  influencive  was the  time  when Amir  thinks  of different things  he could  have  said to his son, when he was  going for playing with his  friend. ! Each and  evry other  possible scenario makes  him drown deeper  into his  guilt, his  carelessness(which he feels it was) as a  father. And  isn’t it true, that seldom after we witness  some  particular  consequences we  think “if i had  done  this” and  repent on it.!
But losing a son is something heavier , something more  fearfull and  maybe  something more “phobic” . Some incidents  make  us  become phobic  of them.! The scene where Rani shares  with her  friend, that Amir  doesn’t even want to listen about having   a second  child, completely moved  me  and  made  me  ponder a little  deeper to how  much guilty a  person can feel.! And  the greater deal is to live  “a-normal-life” accepting it..! Amir’s tears  were totally a  simple  strong gesture  how  much guilt he had in him, how  much did a  single  decision haunt him each and every night that would  make  him sleepless.!  And  the case  of armaan kapoor too was  similar.! 
If we are  guilty of something and  our  conscious doesn’t allow  us  to accept it, then it surely will itself  find  a  way and  come to us for expiation.! 
And  as  the tagline rightly says, and  what even i have  experienced  most of the times personally,
whenever a  question rises , the  answer does  lie  within us...!!
Truly the  movie did take away a tagline that i had  in mind(wont mention it here :p)
The  way the concept of human trafficking and  women exploitation was  shown was  just brilliant.!
Amidst lakhs  of  daily “customers” , who cares  if a single  parcel goes  missing?? Afterall they do write *terms & conditions applied ,right?
Call girls  or prostitutes are never out of choice, its because  they “run out of choices”! 
Its a  huge  and damn complex  matter ,which is quite  above  my head at present, but nevertheless the  ruthless and  brutality with them was  shown greatly. And  like armaan kapoor, if a guilt does  stay in you, i can give  my word, that you never really can live calmly unless  you do get  a  way to quench your  regret, you get a ‘paschatap’. Then be  it just even a  true realisation or at times  maybe  some  bigger  deal. But also one thing that is sure is.. once  you’ve  realised  and  asked  for its  forgiveness  truly..(you are  bound to be  forgiven) and you experience  a divine satisfaction with yourself which becomes  soothing than anything...! Which was shown with utter serenity in the end  sequence  of Amir  sitting  alone  and  reading karan’s  letter !

No need to say fabulous perfoemances  by the entire  starcast.! Great direction..! not extraordinary but pretty fair job with music too...! And,, oh yes  i forgot.. To all who were/are  saying Talaas is  not a worth watch.. just STFU!!!

And as  for me , films  are  something that stretch out of the cinema screen, i review  this flick in a  bit deeper touch.. 

rating : 4.25/5

(just felt one  goof, when kejriwal watches  the news  channel at the airport , they said  “salman kapoor" & i feel it more  strongly coz even @hardik raychanda  felt the  same :p :D... hain main kya ji salman kapoor?? )

Dear aamir,

Since long, I wanted to revive the 70mm blog, and what better than starting from your film.

We have seen you being cop once in Baazi, then in Sarfarosh and now as Suri in Talaash. Sir, you are awesome. What I liked here was your portrayal of suri the person. The kind of person suri was - really fearless cop but neck deep in guilty and sad by heart. Doesn’t speak his heart to any one but strangely with a ______. Wah!!! I would like to salute you for the bravura performance, but above that I would like to salute Reema Kagti for such a tremendous script and direction. Say my hii to her.

Rani as your co-star was fantastic. She shown the grace of the character, one cant even imagine losing her/his child at very young age. You and Rani shown it brilliantly. Kariena as your co-star was convincing too. Nawazuddin Sidique was fantastic as tahemur. Rajkumar Yadav and others did good too. But it was either your or a Reema Kagti film.

I don’t wonder why it didn’t earn more than crappy Dabangg or Singham (sorry yaar, I know sallu is your friend, we love him too, but the film was surely crappy), coz all mass want is masaala, and this was quite a serious stuff. Unlike 3 idiots, this was not for class and mass both, but was strictly for class and hence it would just cross 100 crores, not more than that.

Anurag Kashyap’s dialogues were fabulous.

“tum comedy achhi kar leti ho, lekin problem ye hai ke mujhe jaldi hasi nahi aati..”

“galat mat samajna, main sirf baatein karna chahta hun” – “saab aisa kahoge to galat to lagega hi na..”

Loved the details by Reema Kagti, but sir I believe, if Anurag Kashyap might have directed this movie, it might have much more height.

4.25 cheers for you and reema.
