Review: An excellent movie full of Thriller, Mystery and a little drama. Acting of Aamir khan was good but I have to say acting of Kareena kapoor Khan was also excellent. The movie holds itself together all the time. Direction is also good. Songs are good specially “Muskaan Joothi Hai”. Only thing is if you have seen Hollywood movie “Elephant White” you will feel it a little disappointed cause most of the movie is almost the same as Elephant white. But I also admit Talaash movie is somewhat better that Elephant White.I will deduct the half star for being movie almost same as Elephant White movie. Overall a very good mysterious thriller movie to watch.

Stars given: 3.5 out of 5
