Critic Reviews

• Lisa Tsering, Hollywood Reporter

  The film grabs on tight and doesn't let go.

• Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

  Ultimately the movie's many strands come together for a final twist, but it's too little too late for this regrettably mediocre Bollywood import.

• Simon Abrams, Village Voice

  Kapoor naturally exudes a kittenish charm that not even a violet, skintight, leopard-print dress and equally purple dialogue can entirely diminish.

• Rachel Saltz, New York Times

  It's very much a Hindi film, but updated and delivered with conviction and style.

• Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

  A moving and quietly powerful study of the ongoing yet not always obvious damage suffered in the long wake of loss.

• Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

  Stylish and initially intriguing with a decent performance by Aamir Khan (and his mustache), but underwhelming, banal, tedious and lacks palpable suspense.

• Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

  This patchwork script had a certain promise to it, packed with characters and story threads that don't really lead anywhere. But the film has a decidedly Eastern sense of pace. It's slower than slow...

• Priya Joshi, Digital Spy

  Talaash will confound, bewilder, intrigue and enthral you. A film worth thinking about.

• Daniel Eagan, Film Journal International

  Polished and seductive
