Trivia
- The film's original title was 'Dhund' (meaning 'fog' or 'mist'), but it was changed to 'Talaash' to avoid confusion with a 1973 film of the same name.
- Aamir Khan, who played the lead, insisted on shooting the film's night scenes only at night to capture authentic lighting and mood.
- The character of Rosie, the sex worker, was partly inspired by ghost stories and folklore about spirits seeking justice, common in Indian urban legends.
- Composer Ram Sampath created the song 'Jee Le Zaraa' in a single night after Aamir Khan felt the initial score did not match the scene's emotion.
- The film's climax was kept so secret that even the supporting actors were not given the full script to prevent leaks.
- Reema Kagti co-wrote the story with her friend Zoya Akhtar, and they spent over two years developing the script's psychological layers.
- Despite being a thriller, the movie includes subtle references to Bollywood films of the 1970s, like the vintage car and some dialogue styles.
