The real ghost lies inside -- Talaash
The real ghost lies within, if I have to sum up the movie Talaash.
It’s been long seeing an intense movie and though the ending and most of second half doesn’t live up to the high expectations set by the first half, this sure is a great watch for 2 and half hours.
Sometimes, “what if” is a question that fills so much guilt in heart that it leads to complete ouster from real world. The same is story of protagonist for this one. He is filled with guilt of his past and that drives him to tear apart his family life but this was until he gets involved in a high profile mysterious accident of a rising super star. The events following take many bizarre turns and with adding piece to piece protagonist not only solves the case but also gets solace in tranquility. Although being severely criticized for his abnormal behavior by his subordinates in the process of solving the case, he finally comes in terms with the real world. His “Talaash” for inner peace ends when the final scene ends.
The movies is amalgamation of three “Talaash” in together interweaved, first protagonist’s troubled life, second being love and hate relationship of a pimp with a prostitute brilliantly played by Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, he surely is a man to watch in future. I liked him a lot in Kahaani and he outplayed that in Talaash. Finally third story being quest of finding answers to questions which were buried deep inside and no one sadly had any clue of them being there. From the cast point of view Amir is at pinnacle of everything, I don’t think he can make any wrong decision while picking any character. He played a troubled police inspector’s character to the “T”, Kareena’s sultry performance definitely is oomph factor of the movie and she looks cheeky every time she appears in a scene. As a depressed and saddened housewife Rani essayed the role to the best, all three actors in the movie are so matured that it never occurred for a moment that there could have been any better choice for these three central characters. A big thumps up to the director Khatgi as she really dominated the feel of movie, she was able to maintained the tone of movie almost till the end which in a thriller genre a commendable achievement. Another person I would like to loud would be Ram Sampath, his haunting melodies really set the tune for the movie to the best, his approach to music is really different and refreshing to hear. It’s so hard to compare a “Bhag DK Bose” to “Jiya Lage Naa” and he does it all!
And finally few lines for the cynics who went berserk over the concept portrayed by the narrative and director. I find them truly fit for brainless no brainer trend of comedy era in which we are living in. Even if they are condemned by the same people, I can’t think of any comparison between two separate genres. I can’t find their hypocrite approach to condemn when an Indian director is trying to use an imagination against going gaga over series like Matrix, Lord of Rings and even Harry Potter. I think audience need to grow up a bit and encourage directors coming with a fresh breath of air, even if it means fantasies.
With flaws in most of second half, Talaash still qualify to a must watch for a gust of fresh air!
