From Talaash to Talaash, Kareena's extraordinary turnaround

Kareena Kapoor must be basking in the glory of Taalash's success for now. But, many may not be aware that back in 2003 she had done a film, which was also titled 'Taalash'.

The Suneel Darshan-directed film had Akshay Kumar in the lead role, in which Kareena was supposedly a glamorous character named Tina. However, her appearance in the film was pretty shoddy as evident from the movie’s stills. Not surprisingly, the film went on to become a major disaster at the box office.

From then till now, however, Kareena has come a really long way, and today is one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. Not only has she improved her acting skills, but has also worked exceedingly on her on-screen looks. The contrasting pictures of her two ‘Talaash’ films say it all.

For Kareena Kapoor it could be an Outlier moment as when she had enacted the role of a hooker for the first time in CHAMELI she had taken her first step forward towards stardom and as an actor to watch out for. After her marriage, TALAASH could turn out to be her consolidation status moment of her standing in the industry.


Kareena Kapoor manages to hold Rosy’s mysterious aura quite well. One scene – when she tells Suri about her missing friend – particularly stands out for just how perfectly she allows only a sliver of sorrow to show on her face.

Without doubt, Kareena’s ‘hunt’ for success has borne fruit.
