Shekhawat comes to know that Shashi, a pimp, is involved somehow in the crime, who has fled the town with loads of money that he got from Kapoor.

Shekhawat suffers from insomnia following the accidental death of his son, Kamran. A woman in the neighborhood meets Shekhawat's wife Roshni (Rani Mukherjee), who claims that she spoke with Kamran's spirit. Roshni visits her regularly to speak with Kamran, but this infuriates Shekhawat, who doubts the woman's abilities. Meanwhile, while trying to investigate the case, Shekhawat meets a sex worker Rosy (Kareena Kapoor), who helps him fight his psychological problems and also helps him with his enquiry.

Production

Development

Following the release of her first film, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (2007), Kagti was approached and offered to direct many films by several production houses.[9] However, unable to find any films that interested her, she began working on a new script with her friend Zoya Akhtar in early 2010.[9] Speaking about it, she said, "Zoya and I thought of the story and co-wrote it. We do a lot of writing together. We are also best friends so it is fun and there is a huge comfort factor."[9] Initially, Saif Ali Khan was approached to play the male lead but didn't sign the project due to date issues. [10] Upon finalizing the story, she approached Aamir Khan with the script in November 2010 and he agreed to produce and star in it.[11] Since the start of pre-production, the project has faced several speculations regarding its title.[12] In November 2011, Khan confirmed that the film was titled Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.[12]

In an interview with The Indian Express, Kagti revealed that a few months before casting Khan in the film, she had approached him with another project.[13] Later, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor were signed on to star opposite Khan.[14] Prior to the start of principal photography, the actors attended acting workshops and signed a non-disclosure agreement.[15] To prepare for a key scene in the film, Khan took swimming lessons.[16]

Filming

The principal photography for the film started in March 2011 with Khan and Mukerji in Mumbai.[6] For a scene involving Khan and Kapoor, it was reported that both the actors would shoot in a red-light district.[17] However, Kagti dismissed it and explained that it wouldn't be safe to do so. The scene was later shot at the Leopold Cafe on Colaba Causeway.[15] The film's second phase continued with the entire cast in Pondicherry and was completed by the end of August.[18] The final phase was expected to commence the following month in Khopoli with an underwater shot.[19]

Aamir, who never knew how to swim went under rigorous training for this underwater sequence. He was trained for three months under a specialist trainer and went well prepared for the shoot.[20] Due to visibility problems, it was cancelled and later filmed at an undisclosed water studio in London.[21] The filming was completed by November 2011 after some of the remaining shots were executed at the Bandstand Promenade.[22]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, released by T-Series on 19 October 2012, featured music composed by Ram Sampath with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar.[5]

Indiaglitz quoted, "Once again Ram Sampath has an unmatched compilation of tracks here. Along with Javed Akhtar's fantastic lyrics they have created a masterpiece here."[23] Bollyspice reviewed the album stating, "The soundtrack to Talaash is like a box of chocolates: it contains a little ‘good’ and a little ‘not so good’ in it. Yet it is still an album that is worth listening!".[24] Rediff reviewed, "Except a steady undercurrent of anxiety, the soundtrack of Talaash doesn't have a fixed theme or ambiance. Every song belongs to a unique genre and fosters the enigma of Kagti's suspense drama. And that's what makes Sampath's efforts truly appreciable."[25] Planet Bollywood said, "A film made by Aamir Khan Productions doesn’t need an item song or song for the masses to make it successful. Instead the music is made solely for the film in mind. If the listener can appreciate it before the release of the film then that is a bonus but that’s not essential."[26] Sify quoted, "Overall, the soundtrack is not out-of-the-box, but the overdose of electronic music doesn't bother either. Thus, it's an album which may not top the charts, but some songs could definitely make their way into many people's personal playlists."[27] Gomolo stated, "Ram Sampath is continuously giving very fresh and stunning music for Aamir. The album is full of fresh, scrumptious and susceptible tracks."[28] At Musicperk the album was summarized as, "Well,the answer lies within!", the tagline of the film itself.[29]

Marketing

Talaash: The Answer Lies Within tied up with Windows 8 for it's marketing.[30] Aamir Khan promoted the film on the crime detective series C.I.D..The episodes were aired on November 23 and 24,2012.[31] [32] Aamir Khan visited Lucknow to promote Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.[33] Aamir Khan will appear in a TV special show 'Nayi Soch Ki Talaash Aamir Ke Saath' to promote Talaash.[34] Aamir Khan also visited Jalandhar for promotion purposes.[35] The premiere of the movie 'Talaash' was held at PVR Cinema in Mumbai on November 29, 2012.[36]

Release

Originally scheduled to release in October 2011, the film was postponed to its tentative release date of June 1, 2012.[37] Media reports claimed that the reason behind the delay was due to the similarities with Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani (2012); the director, however, went on to deny the reports.[37] On January 26, 2012, along with a digital poster of the film, the first teaser trailer of Talaash: The Answer Lies Within was released in theatres.[38] Due to Khan's prior commitment plans with his television show, co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani announced that the film would no longer be able to release on its tentative date as per planned and would officially release on November 30, 2012[39] [40] [41] Pre-bookings for Talaash: The Answer Lies Within opened on November 25, 2012 in all multiplexes of India. Talaash was released in 520 screens in overseas markets.It is new overseas record for an Aamir Khan starrer film. 3 Idiots was released in 415 screens overseas.[42] [43][44] The estimate for the number of release screens in India is around 2,500.[45]

Controversy

After taking offense at Aamir Khan's TV show Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) for "projecting men in a bad light", several men's rights activists are now taking up cudgels against his film. Virag Dhulia, the head of Gender Studies at a men's rights community center said that "We are not against Talaash, but Aamir. We want to send out the message that he can't portray a negative image of men.[47] [48]

Talaash received positive to mixed reviews from critics in India.[49] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave Talaash a score of 4.5 out of 5 stars and said "Talaash: The Answer Lies Within is an outstanding film. A taut psychological thriller that keeps you guessing till the end, it leaves you spellbound, leaves you mesmerized, leaves you with an exclamation."[50] Aniruddha Guha of DNA India gave it 3.5 out 5 stars while commenting "Talaash successfully whets the appetite of all the Aamir Khan fans. As for the story, you can always trust Zoya Akhtar to give her best. Talaash is not a flawless film, but it is a fascinating tale that compels one to look beyond that which is evident. You can’t miss this one."[51] Saibal Chatterjee Of NDTV rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars,noting"By no means is Talaash the end of your search for the perfect whodunit. But there is so much going for this compelling, slow-burning, well-acted tale set in the dark, grimy underbelly of Mumbai that you can barely take your eye off the screen."[52]

Meena Iyer of The Times of India award the film 3.5 out of 5, adding "You may not like Talaash, if mystery and intrigue set at a languid pace is not what you look out for in your matinee outing."[53] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 3.5 out of 5 while remarking "It's a very watchable film but not an unforgettable one."[54] Aseem Chhabra for Rediff.com gave the film 3.5 out of 5,reviewing "In Talaash, Kagti weaves a complex web, and she colours it with the mood and the atmosphere she and her collaborators create. Talaash has the feel of a noir film.It is an intelligent film but falters towards the end."[55] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave it 3 out of 5,stating "For once, I also feel the need to explain my rating: I wanted to give four stars to the first half and two stars to the second half, so it averages out to three. See Talaash and do post comments. I'm curious to see how many were as furious as me."[56]

India Today gave 3.5 out 5 to Talaash and stated "Talaash creates its chills primarily tapping into the dark side of the mind, which makes it an unusual Bollywood film. Any resemblance to Joseph Payne Brennan and Donald M. Grant's 1979 novella, Act Of Providence, is purely coincidental."[57] Raja Sen for Rediff has given 2.5 out of 5 stars while adding that "Talaash is well made and strongly acted but is not as enjoyable to watch as it deserved to be."[58] Shubra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2.5 out of 5,remarking "Talaash starts out as a smart, well-written noir-ish thriller, and then slips between the tracks. Pity about the second half."[59] Deccan Chronicle gave 2 out of 5 and stated "See Talaash only if you believe that Aamir Khan can do no wrong. Otherwise you’ll be left with a sinking feeling."[60] The Hindu stated that "It’s not like we haven’t seen anything like this before. If Kahaani used a key scene from a film called Taking Lives as a final twist, Talaash uses one of the most abused endings of this genre."[61] Firstpost stated that Talaash is a brave effort. Mainstream Bollywood movies try to keep it linear and uncomplicated. Directors avoid dealing with multiple strong subplots as might lead to a clutter.[62]

Overseas

Talaash received mixed reviews from overseas.[63] Rubina Khan of The First Post praised the film saying "Talaash is where your search for a good film begins. Reema Kagti’s search for a loyal audience for her kind of cinema ends with Talaash, which seems poised to make some serious cash at the box office as a sure fire winner." Ronnie Schieb of variety reviewed "Thesping never falters -- Kapoor's enigmatic Rosie in particular tying the film together by her secret knowledge (the film's revelation is a doozy). Khan's glowering, repressed sadness may appear a bit one-note to American auds, his mustache tending to obliterate nuance, but his charisma is unmistakable. For the record, the title means "search."[64] The Los Angeles Times times gave Talaash: The Answer Lies Within a negative review saying "it was a mediocre Bollywood import'.[65] British entertainment and media news website Digital Spy gave 4 out of 5 stars and stated Talaash is the perfect marriage of cinematography, cast, dialogue and direction, despite all the evident hallmarks of Khan's own brand of brilliance, harking back to a bygone genre, the conclusion to the story might be deemed a tad too far-fetched for a modern audience.[66] Open Magazine gave the film 1 out of 5 stars and said the film was plagiarized from The Sixth Sense and poorly actor by Aamir Khan.[67]
