Inspector Sanjay Shekhawat, played by Aamir Khan with convincing but unmemorable sternness, is assigned the case and as he starts asking questions and picking up clues, what unravels is something more sordid about the victim and the film tugs us loyally to the said underbelly, by introducing a few morally dubious men and women who are aware of a more troubling truth behind it all. This film, on the other hand, not only ends with a twist that a sharper, more discerning viewer can predict easily but also hurriedly tries to tack it to a largely unnecessary sub-plot that belonged to another film as if to explain its distracting importance.Ī body is found drowned in a car off the seafront of Bombay. The novel Brighton Rock and numerous of G.K Chesterton’s Father Brown stories have accomplished it with both ingenuity and realism and yet, in both cases, the mystery lingered on beyond the breadth of the pages and the fantastical or surreal elements were interwoven deftly into the narrative.

The fault, it must be said, is not in the idea of a murder mystery probing and prodding a city’s underbelly ending with an audacious, even fantastical surprise that lends the grub and grit of the story a greater significance. Reema Kagti’s Talaash – a film about a respected policeman investigating a baffling case and thus discovering a cupboard of dirty linen – is a competently made and fairly believable thriller that is ruined beyond repair by an ending that is not so much as completely preposterous as much as it is clumsily directed. Bad things happen in most thrillers and some things are broken beyond repair.

And unlike what Hitchcock likes to think, a good ending is not necessarily an ingenious twist, an unearned laugh or a sensuous kiss a great thriller can end ideally with a scene in which the mystery lingers on or even a scene of melancholy or ironic reflection at what has happened. This storyline seems a bit close to Kahaani, which is why Aamir postponed Talaash saying it was similar to Kahaani in key areas.In cinema, a thriller is made or marred by how it ends. While at first Aamir believes it, he later overcomes his own demons and uncovers the murders.
