Talaash Reviews

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.

By no means is Talaash the end of your search for the perfect whodunit.

To 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.
