Why did Aamir Khan do a guest appearance in India's longest running Crime serial C.I.D? Obvious, He was promoting his latest movie "Talaash". Why? Because Talaash is not something which will stay in the theatres for long.
To start off, Ram Sampath's haunting background score forced the viewer into consuming this as a Thriller movie. Not a bad thing but you start to expect too much.
Then comes the character introductions. Every character is serious. There is no one who fools around.
Aamir Khan plays, Inspector Shekawat, a man who is in pain and is assigned to solve a mystery.
The screenplay is too good. It keeps you at the edge of your seat and puts your grey cells into action. Right throughout the movie, I was thinking and looking for clues but I couldn't find any and then when the climax was there, I couldn't digest the answer (which apparently lies within as per the movie tagline).
Performances of Rani and Kareena are top class! Rani plays her role perfectly without any fuss. Great to see her like this after "Aiyya". Kareena looks plastic at certain contacts but that kept aside she is deadly with her killer looks and seductive body. (I am not editing the last 2 words).
Talaash starts off very realistically and I was blown over by its brilliance but when it came to finishing, it was very unrealistic. It did waver around somewhere in the middle where the focus was lost but just when the viewer grew impatient, the story was back on track only to disappoint.
With dialogues by Farhan Akthar and Anurag Kashyap, one would certainly want that department to rock. Barring a few amazing and provoking one-liners, there wasn't much to appreciate.
I would say Talaash is over-hyped. But it still is a welcome change from commercial cinema. Despite the fact that it doesn't enthrall you enough, it still is a decent attempt at film making by Reema Kagti. Aamir plays the role so perfectly that you start to see him like any ordinary actor. He gets down to the skin of the role everytime. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is an upcoming legend. He has an amazing actor in him.
Watch Talaash if you would like to give a pinch of exercise to your brain otherwise you can just let it go.
After a lot of thinking, I finally found a social message which could have been the aim of the movie. But you never know, it might well not be. Watch out for the dialogues.

Oh and No, Rani is not the murderer! (For those active on facebook or twitter)
