TALAASH- believable or, another faulty storyline? - Page 5

My desire to watch the flick died off seeing few scenes on Sony yesterday. It was boring and I stopped watching

I loved it!! I was not aware of the end...n i liked the way it was bought out.

Also i really liked every1 performance.

my most fave scene was when aamir imagines all the ways in which he cud have saved his sons life,...that was such a heartmovin thing..coz it is actually true...thats how a parent feels life 😭

n i also loved temur story n overall handling of the subject...nothing OTT !!

n i loved how jiya lage naa n muskaane jhooti hai was filmed😊

@ Red...its my favorite scene too...and so natural...how many times do we second guess ourselves when something goes wrong...Aamir is a genius

The issue with Talaash wasn't really that its not believable. Heck 90% of BW films are unbelievable in one way or the other but we still love them. Btw, Reema said the stroy of Talaash is true...as in the supernatural part..it's inspired by some true story.

The problem was Talaash tried to do too many things at the same time...it tried to be this redemption story, have a whodunit story, PLUS a supernatural bit as well...and in trying to do all that, it failed to do justice to 2 out of the 3 genres. I found the last climax scene with Kareena rescuing Aamir in the water so laughable..I would have accepted everything, but that weird end was too much. Someone tell the Akhtars to release the alternate ending please.

That being said, Aamir's journey of redemption and getting over his guilt was very nicely done. I enjoyed that a lot. Kudos to Reema and Zoya for the writing there!

I liked it! I knew the suspense beforehand thanks to one of my friends 😡 But nonetheless i enjoyed it. It was gripping...and it had amazing performances by the leads...

I really liked Talaash! Yes, the story seems a bit slow at some places but I guess it was cos they were trying to build the character and plot well.. and they succeeded in that. Even supporting roles like Temur were well etched out. The songs fit in so well in the story.

I loved Aamir's redemption and his inner turmoil..He was brilliant there..Kareena was awesome and Rani also did full justice..I just love the emotional depth in this film..I am glad Aamir tried something different as always =)

@chocolover83: DITTO!
The film was a winner with its emotional scenes--unbelievably natural and empathetic.
