Talaash is the name of Aamir Khan’s next Bollywood movie. Written and directed by Reema Kagti, Talaash also stars Rani Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor. It’s a suspense thriller where Aamir plays the role of a cop called Surjan Singh Sekhawat. Deadly!
Talaash might just thrill your brains out. Let’s hope it does – the last decent Bollywood thriller that we saw was I don’t know, 7 Khoon Maaf? Even that was okayish only.
But the director is just one film old!
Reema Kagti debuted as a director with Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd which was a quirky romantic comedy. The film bombed. She next co-wrote Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara with Zoya Akhtar, which did pretty well. And Reema has assisted talented directors such as Farhan Akhtar, Mira Nair and Ashutosh Gowarikar. Some say she’s just one film old, so the hype is uncalled for. But that is all bullshit. Let me give you three solid examples from Bollywood history:
- Ashutosh Gowarikar was just two films old (Pehla Nasha and Baazi – both bombed) before he came together with Aamir Khan and directed Lagaan. The film almost won an Oscar.
- Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had Aks to his name when Aamir signed up for Rang De Basanti. And that was a time when two Bhagat Singh movies were being released every weekend. The film earned more than Rs. 1.36 billion (approximately US$30 million) worldwide.
- And Farhan Akhtar had never made a movie before he made Dil Chahta Hai. And this film is widely recognized as the epic of our generation.
Trailer of Talaash
From the 1 min long teaser, you can make out that Talaash is going to be a suspense thriller of the highest order. There will be blood. There will be dialogue. Action. Masala. Almost everything that we love Bollywood for. And there will be Aamir Khan. With his stamp of approval, everything seems fine. We somehow believe that the film will be really good.
I cannot remember the last time I came across any Bollywood (or even Hollywood!) celebrity who had consistently delivered good films like this guy. So without further ado, here’s the trailer of Talaash:
Talaash – We’re anticipating something really solid!
Talaash is going right on top of the list of the most highly anticipated upcoming Hindi movies to be released in 2012. Yes, the expectations are so high. The trailer is so good. I am an Aamir Khan fan. Not because all his films tend to work exceptionally well but because he’s one of the few actors who believes in creativity and improvisation.
In the last 10 years, Aamir has really experimented with the kind of roles that he has picked (village hero, romantic hero, historical hero, revolutionary hero, undercover terrorist, art teacher, crazy killer with six packs, student, painter). But never before has he played a suspense drama. Surprised right? He’s been in a number of commercial action films but never a suspense thriller.

What do you think? Will Talaash be a hit or a flop? Do share your thoughts in the comments below!
I hope it should be big blockbuster. But I am also doubtful about its mass appeal as we know the tastes of Indian mass public as they like bodyguard, dabangg, ready type crap movies. Talaash will do wonderful at multiplex centres. But it is also supsense thriller, so it would not have repeat value I guess. Otherwise, I am sure this is going to be cracking suspense and I am so excited to watch it.
I believe TALAASH is gonna be the biggest blockbuster of 2012.I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan and admire him as a Superstar.I wish God will again help him like Taare Zameen Par,Ghajini and 3 Idiots. It’s a superhit definitely. Inshalla, Illahi Ameen, Aamir will rock Definately.
Yeahh, even we’re expecting this Talaash to do pretty well. It has Aamir Khan in it which in itself is a strong seal of quality. It’s not gonna be any cheap flick ripped off from a Hollywood/Tollywood/Kollywood movie.
