Review of the film :

Mostly Negative review from critics, Average storyline and music are the weak point of the film.

Critics reviews :

• Taran adarsh in Bollywood Hungama gave only 1 and half star and criticisng the film stating that ” Directorially, Suneel Darshan is not in form this time, mainly because the script does not offer him scope to rise beyond a point. . Dialogues are well worded and punch-packed. The stunts are well crafted. Production values are just right.Akshay Kumar is plain mediocre. The role hardly offers him scope to try out anything different. Kareena Kapoor is her usual self. Pooja Batra leaves a mark in a small role. On the whole, TALAASH relies too heavily on an oft-repeated theme, which will tell on its business eventually. The film may find some flavour in the interiors.”
• Times of India Public Reviewers give 3.5 star from 5 star.
