Dinesh Kamath's another column on film 'Talash - The Truth Lies Within' that was published in Newsband

Today I’ll pass on to you more information about the film Talash – The Truth Lies Within.

What drew Rani Mukherjee to the role in this film Talash. This is a genre, which she is doing for the first time. It is basically a thriller and a suspense drama. She had never worked on a film like that. What really intrigued her was the fact that in spite of being a suspense drama and a thriller it had a very, very emotional side to the story. It had a lot of heart and soul and that really touched Rani. There is a lot of human connect in the movie and Rani actually got connected on the first level when she had to decide whether she wanted to be part of this film.

Rani found working with the director Reema Kagti a wonderful experience. She found that Reema Kagti was one of the really, really cool directors she had worked with. Reema Kagti is completely in command of the craft and in command of the situation. She’s truly like the captain of the ship because she exactly knows what she wants from her actors and characters. That is indeed a great quality.

Aamir Khan over the years has become a bigger star with each passing day. Rani had witnessed him when she joined the industry and she is witnessing him even now and the only thing that’s changed is that he’s a much closer friend of Rani. He’s a much bigger star than when Rani met him. He was a huge star then and he’s a bigger star now so nothing much has changed. His level of focus and dedication is just the same or even probably more.

The music of the film Talash is incredible. They have a soul and a depth. The song Jee Le Zara is very hopeful song. It’s a song for people who’ve suddenly lost hope in their lives. It just brings the feeling to people that they should live a little and see things change around them. It’s a very, very nice song.

Aamir and Kareena Kapoor are doing a thriller for the first time. That’s really pretty interesting. The film is basically a suspense drama bordering the line of a thriller but it is a very, very emotional film.

Now I’ll pass on to you more information about the music of Talash. The music is given by Ram Sampath. Lyrics are by Javed Akhtar. Singers are Ram Sampath, Vishal Dadlani, Sona Mohapatra, Suman Sridhar and Ravindra Upadhyay.

First up is the song Muskaanein jhooti hain. Suman Sridhar uses her husky voice effectively in this silky smooth number.

Certain portions of Jeele zara will probably be running through the film as part of the background score and should prove to be effective. Vishal Dadlani sings about the growing distance between two lovers in this song as Javed Akhtar writes Phir dil se dil ke pul kyun toote hain. Vishal instills enough passion into the track to keep you hooked.

The next song Jeeya lage na is virtually a jam session between Sona Mohapatra and Ravindra Upadhyay. This is a great attempt to bring new sounds into mainstream Bollywood music. The lyrics are very simple. The combination of Sona and Ravindra’s voices and the merging of various sounds makes Jeeya lage na unique.

Lakh duniya kahe starts with a good music and Ram Sampath’s soft voice. It’s a straightforward composition with easy lines. The music lifts the track a notch higher.

Hona kya hai is a groovy number packed with beats.

Talaash’s soundtrack is slick, groovy and situational, and will work best in the context of the film.

Thus this crime thriller stars not one, not two, but three superstars in the leading roles, which adds to the film’s appeal. They are, as I told you earlier, Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. Hopefully this film will be another great entertainer.

Be sure to see Rani Mukherjee, along with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor when Talaash hits theaters on November 30.
