Talaash music unveiled

The venue for the music launch of Aamir Khan's most anticipated film of the year, Talaash, was converted to resemble the fictitious Hotel Lido, a red-light area which forms a significant part in the movie. The event started off with a trailer of the film, that also features

Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, and also gave a glimpse of some songs from the film. While Kareena could not attend as she was in the Capital busy with her wedding reception, Aamir was flanked by Rani, along with co-producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, writer Zoya Akhtar, lyricist Javed Akhtar, director Reema Kagti, music composer Ram Sampath and singer Sona Mohapatra. Speaking about the music of the film, Javed Akhtar said, "The song Muskaanein jhoothi hain has been written in strokes. If you see, the lines are like a collage. They are complete in themselves, but ultimately they make an image. I am very happy about the song Jiya laage na, because this is a kind of composition we do not see in our films nowadays. I am quite convinced that it will stand out because you can't think of another song in the last few years that had this kind of zing or composition." About the film and his character, Aamir said, "The film is actually more a suspense drama. I play a police inspector in the film and apart from investigating the case, this character is battling with his past as he has not come to terms with certain things yet."
