Kareena Kapoor Khan: Her portrayal of Rosie is often cited as one of her career-best performances, balancing mystery with vulnerability.

| Character | Actor | Role Index & Performance Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Surjan Singh Shekhawat | Aamir Khan | The brooding, insomniac cop. Aamir wore a Buddhist "detachment" persona. He famously locked himself in a hotel room for a week to channel the emptiness of grief. | | Roshni Shekhawat | Rani Mukerji | The paralyzed, grieving mother. Rani plays the most challenging role—a woman faking physical disability while battling psychological turmoil. Her monologue about the sound of her son drowning is considered a masterclass. | | Rosy | Kareena Kapoor Khan | The ethereal sex worker. This is a ghost role; Kareena appears in soft focus, red lighting, and rarely touches any object. She is the "MacGuffin" who turns out to be the solution. | | Temur | Nawazuddin Siddiqui | The rat-eyed informant. Nawaz steals every scene with his raw Mumbai tapori dialect. He provides the comic relief that turns tragic by the end. | | Armaan Kapoor | Vivan Bhatena | The victim/antagonist. His role is mostly as a corpse, but flashbacks reveal a violent, narcissistic star. | Index Of Talaash 2012

Personal Trauma: Parallel to the case, Surjan and his wife Roshni (Rani Mukerji) are struggling to cope with the recent accidental drowning of their 8-year-old son, Karan. Surjan suffers from chronic insomnia and deep-seated guilt, blaming himself for the tragedy.
