In any case, I desperately need to rid myself of the aftertaste that Aiyyaa left. You don't even notice her at 1:20 in this video.Īnd that is what I have always liked her for. Rani Mukerji, however has blended in wonderfully. Especially, at the points where Aamir Khan gets all intense and on the verge of being angry, which seems to be throughout. And that isn't happening at least in the trailers where these two are concerned. I really do want my characters to make to me forget who is playing them. Call me 'psuedo-cool' if you wish, but seeing Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Raj Kumar Yadav in the trailers got me more excited than Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. And they've brought in Farhan Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap for the dialogue! How could you not get excited, even if momentarily?Īnd then you top it off with the cast. I'm already looking forward to Zoya Akhtar's next film after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, who has penned Talaash's story with Reema Kagti. I loved director, Reema Kagti's narration style and wit in Honemoon Travels Pvt Ltd and her story/screenplay in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. While I'd have put Gangs of Wasseypur up there, but this one has a combination of names that makes you sit up and notice. A Reliance release.Talaash is easily the most looked forward to film this year. MPAA Rating: unrated, with violence, drug use and prostitutionĬast: Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji, Shernaz Patel, Kareena KapoorĬredits: Directed by Reema Kagti, written by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. And even though this was built with an intermission in mind (Indian films often exceed three hours), at two hours and nineteen minutes, it seems about an hour too long to support even this meandering plot. Any film that moves this slowly is begging us to guess where it’s going an hour before it gets there. But that dissipates as quickly as it appears. The acting is good, the settings reasonably exotic and some scenes develop a little tension.

Kapoor’s curves and misty-eyed memories of the past, back when the inspector’s little boy was still alive. It’s slower than slow, with meaningful pauses for music montages, slo-motion appreciations of Ms. The film has a decidedly Eastern sense of pace. This patchwork script had a certain promise to it, packed with characters, story threads that don’t really lead anywhere (a character with AIDS is introduced and abandoned). What was he doing driving a Hyundai? OK, that’s more my question than one for the cops. He had met a pimp, who is now laying low, trying to stay out of the investigation.Īnd he was rich and famous.

He didn’t have his driver or “spot boy” (assistant) with him. The dead star was in the bad part of town. The inspector keeps (chaste) company with a call girl. His wife (Rani Mukerji) seeks solace in a medium who says she can speak to the dead child. She has more than just information the inspector is interested in.

He takes entirely too much interest in a glamorous hooker (Kareena Kapoor) who digs a man in a moustache. Inspector Sekhawat broods over the case, and grieves for a son that drowned. It doesn’t help that the cops are prone to slap around the powerless - beggars, etc. That takes the cop into the seedy underworld of Mumbai, meeting junkies, pimps and prostitutes, trying to wring the truth out of poor people who don’t see the police as looking out for their interests. “Talaash,” his latest, has him playing a troubled but dogged police inspector trying to get to the bottom of a freak auto accident that killed a famous Bollywood star. But with every import, these polished, well-acted comedies and melodramas show more signs of Hollywood style storytelling. Ever since the cricket match during the Raj epic “Lagaan” (2001), his movies have shown up here reaching the vast Indian diaspora of North America.īut it’s hard to say if he’s choosing his subjects with more of an eye toward the West, or if these seemingly Westernized projects (“Like Stars on Earth” was one) are what sell back on the Subcontinent. Aamir Khan seems to be the one superstar of Indian film to consistently get his movies into the American export market.
