Talaash movie review: what critics say (13)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 9 of 13 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the emotion.
The first half of Talaash is good enough for you not to want to blink.
Make no mistake, Talaash is a Vikram Bhatt film. It starts off well, but simmers far too long before it gets to the boil.
Read the full reviewBy no means is Talaash the end of your search for the perfect whodunit.
Read the full reviewTo watch Talaash is to embark on a passionate love affair that ends in frustration because the object of your desire reveals itself to be shallow and depressingly ordinary. In short, a profound anti-climax.
Its shortcomings notwithstanding, it's a good example of an entertaining commercial film that didn't need to be lazy or senseless. Don't miss it; easily one of the better films this year.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
