Rahul Bose much appreciated cameo in Santosh Sivan's Tahaan took the audience by surprise. Rahu's cameo in TAHAAN throws a surprise ... Full Review

Santosh Sivan is at his best when he works with children, and his latest is a fine example: Tahaan plays out both like a touchingly real story, as well as a fable, hinting at deeper truths beneath.

In "Tahaan", the delightfully natural boy comes close to being a human bomb. A limpid lyricism runs through the picaresque plot as Tahaan encounters various men - from his wise and wacky grandfather (Victor Bannerjee) and a good-hearted cranky sage (Anupam Kher) to a dimwitted womanizer (Rahul Bose) and a practical businessman (Rahul Khanna). ...

Anupam's in great form, Sarika's impressive, Rahul Bose looks out of sorts. The film is essentially a paean to Santosh Sivan's skills as a cinematographer, as his camera captures the seasons and the mood the Valley, like never before. ... Full Review
