This formula of a street walker being a part of the quest to unravel a mystery came into vogue in a big way when probably the first star of Indian noir, Dev Anand, provided an opportunity to Waheeda Rehman to enact the role in CID and create one of the most enigmatic street walkers that have ever walked the cinematic screen in Indian cinema.

In TEESRI MANZIL, which again is one of the best murder mysteries produced in Hindi cinema, incidentally by Aamir Khan's uncle, Naseer Hussain, Helen had enacted the role with panache and added an element of thrill to the narrative of the film. Surprisingly enough, such kind of characterization does not form a part of the murder mysteries in Hollywood films as a defining trait.

For Kareena Kapoor it could be an Outlier moment as when she had enacted the role of a hooker for the first time in CHAMELI she had taken her first step forward towards stardom and as an actor to watch out for. After her marriage, TALAASH could turn out to be her consolidation status moment of her standing in the industry.
