Talaash: Paisa Vasool Movie - Yes

 

Story Idea - Surjan Shekhawat (amir) is a police officer investigating the death of a fiom star, while also coming to terms with his son's untimely death and the subsequent near collapse of his marriage with Roshni (Rani). He investigates the case with the help of an escort with a golden heart Rosy (Kareena) who also helps him come out his own personal misery. How the case solves itself takes you through an emotional ride that ends with a twist that is sure to divide the audience on its quality.

Performance -  Perfectionist Amir Khan gives a new meaning to onscreen cops in times of muscled mustached Singhams and Rowdy Rathores. 

Rani delivers a performance that is nuanced, amply displaying the wonders an actress can perform when not worried by the numbers game. 

Kareena on the other hand manages to do her performance well - she is kind, strong, lonesome and seductive at the same time as Rosy.

Charm Factor - Kagti and Zoya write a story that is really nice and aided with some amazing photography and understated background score by Ram Sampath, bring to the screen an atmosphere that is gloomy and introspective. Director Kagti takes you through the story at her own pace, the mystery runs first, followed by the strong emotional parts. Good enough to shake you. 

Rate on Paisa Vasool Index - For a thriller, Talaash is a good movie yet lacks the urgency to grip you by the throat.This one definitely is intelligent cinema, falling short of being cerebral. Watch it for yourself and decide.
