There are moments which had excellence written all over it like one in which Shekhawat is trying to recall his child's accident and ponders how his way of handling the situation in a different fashion would have saved him from drowning.
"Jiya lagena" songs has a good video which gels with the fusion music. It brings tear to one's eyes as one look back at life. Sampat's music is brilliant with Akhtar's lyrics especially "Lakh duniya kahe tum nehi ho" is mark of a genius and someone who have lost a dear one will surely relate to the lyrics. Subaya's editing and Ram Sampat's flawless music add on to the proceeding and help in building the circuitous narrative. The fear of danger lurking around the corner can be sensed and it seems no one should be believed. Mumbai becomes a darker character in this mystery. Kudos to K.U Mohanan's camera-work (who was recently being part of award winning pulp noir Miss Lovely) brilliantly captured the by-lanes of Mumbai. Without giving away any suspense I would say Kagti's (& Zoya akhtar) script webbed in a beguiling suspense drama around that complex phenomenon. Talaash explores one of those phases of life when everything seems at lost yet one has to move on with life.
At those moments mind and brains starts behaving weirdly and one starts accepting irrationality which gives one inner peace. Everyone of us have lost a near or dear one at some point of time we will (recently I lost my mother) and after that the mere existence becomes difficult.
The emotions and vulnerability of Inspector Shekhawat is genuinely expressed which one can identify with. At the same time it's a thriller and an emotional drama of a father coming to terms with his child's loss. Talaash is one of the most complex films of recent times with layers to the narrative and characters. Reema Kagti in her second directorial venture proved her understanding of this medium and fluidness in handling of complex themes. Without revealing the story I can say clearly the detailing is commendable and you can see the dots getting connected. The two incidences get connected at a point which changes the life of the protagonist. At a personal front Mr shekhawat and his wife are trying to come to terms with untimely loss of their son. It is later known that famous cine-star Arman Kapoor died in that car accident (or murder or something?) Inspector Shekhawat gets the charge of the case. The film starts with a darkish depiction of Maximum city with eerie background music followed by a car coming at high speed which suddenly takes a turn and gets drowned in a river.
The film is a dark,complex psychological yet there are layers of emotions which makes it more compelling.Add to this there is an Occult angle to the mystery. Talaash is one such celluloid experience that will captivate you to the last reel. When was the last time Indian audience have witness an intriguing noiri-sh suspense drama without any cheap thrills? Probably not in recent times (for starters Kahaani is a suspense thriller). What looks like a simple car accident investigation turns into a haunting mystery as further investigations show many anomalies stringed to the death of the victim. Being on his investigational quest and fighting it out with personal struggle, Inspector Shekhawat meets a sex worker Rosie played by Kareena Kapoor who further adds shades of mystery to the puzzle. The case turns into a life altering chase for Inspector Shekhawat when he is forced to reel under the repercussions of a broken married life with his wife Roshni played by Rani Mukherji and come face to face with his suppressed grief. Aamir Khan plays an investigation officer, Inspector Shekhawat who receives a phone call early in the morning informing him about death and an accident and how everything starts to unfold from there. Suspense at its core, Talaash explores Mumbai's underbelly like never before. Seeing reflections of Mumbai under the red light, Talaash is a tale of love lost, fatal attraction and above all the quest to solve a perfect crime.
