Late at night on a deserted road, well-known actor Armaan Kapoor loses control of his car, apparently trying to avoid something, and the car falls into the sea. Senior Police Inspector Surjan "Suri" Singh Shekhawat with his assistant Devrath Kulkarni begin an investigation. Surjan's relationship with his wife, Roshni has suffered after their 8-year-old son, Karan, recently drowned during a family outing. Surjan's guilt causes him insomnia.
Roshni seeks solace from a medium, Frenny Mistry, who is in touch with Karan's soul, though Surjan is angry and skeptical of her. One night, Surjan is propositioned by Rosie. He declines but asks if she can become an informer. The police find Shashi's body, along with the blackmail money and a DVD. The DVD contains CCTV footage of Armaan and his friends leaving a hotel with Rosie. Rosie confides in Surjan that three years ago, she was picked up by Armaan and his friends, Sanjay and Nikhil. Surjan discovers that Nikhil has been brain-dead after the incident three years ago.
Tehmur blackmails Sanjay into giving him money so he can give it to his girlfriend, a prostitute, for a better life. Sanjay gets Tehmur killed too. The police learn Sanjay is behind Shashi and Tehmur's murders and arrest him. Sanjay confesses that three years ago, he, Armaan, and Nikhil had picked up an escort named Tiya to celebrate Armaan's bachelor party. The unlocked car door in the backseat opened by accident, throwing both Nikhil and Tiya out of the moving car. Armaan and Sanjay rushed Nikhil to the hospital but fearing a scandal, left Tiya to die on the road. Sanjay had called Shashi to take care of her. Since then, Shashi had continued to blackmail them. Surjan re-watches the footage and is shocked to realise that Tiya is Rosie.
As he drives Sanjay to the police station, they approach the same road where Armaan had his car accident. Both men see Rosie/Tiya standing ahead. In a re-enactment of Armaan's accident, they swerve the car to avoid a collision with her and it falls into the sea. Sanjay dies but Rosie saves Surjan. Surjan writes in the official report that Armaan's death was an accident. He returns to the riverside place where he used to meet Rosie and uncovers her remains where Shashi had hidden her body. Remembering that he had been told that "the dead come to those who are troubled," he gives Rosie a proper funeral.
Now more accepting of the supernatural, Surjan finds a letter from Karan, penned by Frenny, in which Karan tells Surjan not to blame himself for his death and that he wants his parents to be happy. Surjan reconciles with Roshni. In a post-credits scene, two workers put a "Caution" sign on the accident spot.
Following the release of her first film, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (2007), Kagti was approached to direct many films by several production houses. However, unable to find any films that interested her, she began working on a new script with her friend Zoya Akhtar in early 2010. Speaking about it, she said, "Zoya and I thought of the story and co-wrote it. We do a lot of writing together. We are also best-friends so it is fun and there is a huge comfort factor." Initially, Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan were reportedly approached to play the male lead but opted out due to differing reasons.[11][12][13] Upon finalising the story, she approached Aamir Khan with the script in November 2010 and he agreed to produce and star in it.[14] Since the start of pre-production, there was speculation regarding the film's title.[15] In November 2011, Khan confirmed that the film was titled Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.[15]
In an interview with The Indian Express, Kagti revealed that a few months before casting Khan in the film, she had approached him with another project.[16] Later, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji were signed on to star opposite Khan.[17] Prior to the start of principal photography, the actors attended acting workshops and signed a non-disclosure agreement.[18] To prepare for a key scene in the film, Khan and Mukerji took swimming lessons.[19]
The principal photography for the film started in March 2011 with Khan and Mukerji in Mumbai.[9] For a scene involving Khan and Kapoor, it was reported that both the actors would shoot in a red-light district.[20] However, Kagti dismissed it and explained that it wouldn't be safe to do so. The scene was later shot at the Leopold Cafe on Colaba Causeway.[18] The film's second phase continued with the entire cast in Pondicherry and was completed by the end of August.[21] The final phase was expected to commence the following month in Khopoli with an underwater shot.[22]
Khan, who never knew how to swim, underwent rigorous training for this underwater sequence. He was trained for 3 months under a specialist trainer and went well prepared for the shoot. Due to visibility problems, it was cancelled and later filmed at an undisclosed water studio in London.[23] The filming was completed by November 2011 after some of the remaining shots were executed at the Bandstand Promenade.[24]

After taking offense at Aamir Khan's TV show Satyamev Jayate (SMJ) for "projecting men in a bad light", several men's rights activists took up cudgels against his film.[clarification needed] Virag Dhulia, the head of gender studies at a men's rights community center, said "We are not against Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, but Aamir. We want to send out the message that he can't portray a negative image of men."[44][45] It is further reported that most of the film was inspired by Rabbit Hole.
Meena Iyer of The Times of India award the film 3.5 out of 5, adding "You may not like Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, if mystery and intrigue set at a languid pace is not what you look out for in your matinee outing."[50] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 3.5 out of 5 while remarking "It's a very watchable film but not an unforgettable one."[51] Aseem Chhabra for Rediff.com gave the film 3.5 out of 5, reviewing "In Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, Kagti weaves a complex web, and she colours it with the mood and the atmosphere she and her collaborators create. Talaash: The Answer Lies Within has the feel of a noir film. It is an intelligent film but falters towards the end."[52] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave it 3 out of 5, stating "For once, I also feel the need to explain my rating: I wanted to give 4 stars to the first-half and 2 stars to the second-half, so it averages out to 3. See Talaash: The Answer Lies Within and do post comments. I'm curious to see how many were as furious as me."[53]
