(1956), Woh Kaun Thi (1964) and Mera Saaya (1966)? It gives you taste of such sumptuous dishes that nobody likes to offer anymore. Remember those yesteryear murder mysteries especially Raj Khosla's films like C.I. Yet, it gives us information, while the characters in the film are robbed of it and makes us engaged participants. It conceals every bit of information, which would elevate the mystery. The screenplay by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti is well constructed. Mumbai has never looked this good after dark. Mohanan's camera flirts with luscious colours and classy lighting.
I could notice the presence of the background score in almost every scene, which creates a mood of dread and gloom. Hona Hai Kya (my favorite song from the film) is attached to a breathless chase sequence. The music by Ram Sampath is old fashioned and superbly delicious. The agenda throughout is telling the story and telling it right. The atmosphere and the tone of the film are always precise, never losing focus. Talaash works more so because of the meticulous execution of Reema Kagti. Films like 3 Idiots and Lagaan were excellent films due to the talents of Rajkumar Hirani and Ashutosh Gowariker. Then again, it would be highly unfair to sing praises of the actor and not give credit to the makers. He created the trend of remakes, which he refuses to follow. We all know it was the first film that crossed 100 crores, way before the industry myth of the “100 crore club†was coined. Sure he does a film like Ghajini (2008) as well but then even while he does it, he makes a mark.
Year after year, he refuses to sell out and holds true to his promise of giving us good movies. (Yes he did Dhobi Ghat, but you know what I mean). Aamir returns to the big screen after a hiatus of 3 years when he captivated the entire nation with 3 Idiots (2009). Aamir Khan could have also followed this trend but he choses to kill that actor and gives birth to a real cop movie into the mainstream. Every superstar is cashing in on this formula while it lasts. There is trend of films with big stars playing cops and giving us some of that good old masala (Right from Wanted to Singham to Dabangg to Rowdy Rathore). That is the most I'll tell you about the plot of this film but I will definitely take the opportunity to praise the actor who is responsible for some of the best films made in India.
