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.
