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.
