Talaash: Macguffined!

Talaash is really an exploration of loss, grief, redemption and closure that uses the police procedural/murder mystery only as a carrier. The brave whopper at the end that brings it all together would alienate a lot of viewers, as it has many critics - going by the review headings (thankfully I've stopped reading them beyond that). For me it was the ultimate aha! moment, a rare occurrence across the thousands of movies I've seen. An absolute delight throughout!

(A note of advice: Don't go in expecting a high class feature length episode of CID.)

Nicely put Faisal & I agree 100%. Mature handling of a genre exploited by many. Stylishly handled by Katgi. Sharing this on Facebook :-)
