a5c7b9f00b A short-term memory loss patient sets out on his journey to avenge the death of his beloved girl. One of the wealthiest business tycoon Sanjay Singhania (Owner of Singhania group of Industries) who was a very nice businessman and fell in love with a beautiful girl Kalpana who was an ad film actress. His life is ruined by a man called Ghajini who killed his love and also damaged his brain and two years later he is suffering from a mental disease called short-term memory lost he is living his life by writing notes, clicking pictures and sketching tattoos on his body just to take avenge from the man ghajini. Our family has always been an avid fan of Amir for over a decade. He earned it until Ghajini…<br/><br/>Start with the script..very loose, full of holes and very convenient. Classic case of confused writer forced to write 180 pages to fulfill Indian audiences appetite for 3 hours.<br/><br/>Characters were single dimensional. Aamir went over the top on several occasion. Newcomer actress did a wonderful job but is forgettable.<br/><br/>Ghajini proves the fact that even actors/producers like Aamir are so reluctant to break out and risk challenging human intellect. One has to watch Memento to realize how poorly Ghajiji comes in exploring human mind&#39;s dilemma. If Memento stimulated audience&#39;s intellect to a scale of 10, Ghajini comes at 2..<br/><br/>At the end of the day, what sounded like a promising picture ended up following the same old Hindi, sing and dance, malasa flick.<br/><br/>This, probably was the las Aamir flick that we&#39;d watch in theater. Ghajini&#39;s protagonist suffers from a short term memory loss….but the viewer will not forget this movie in a hurry. I just came back from a late night preview and cannot get any sleep. The movie carried the huge expectations of an Amir Khan film and also all the debate about it being inspired by Memento etc. But lets just forget that for a while. <br/><br/>I feel Ghajini entertains fully be it drama, romance, comedy, song and dance…not so much a thrillerthe villain is revealed pretty early. Still, it is a total roller coaster ride with tension ebbing and surfacing again at correct plot points. It is a violent film. I was surprised to see children at the theater and wished they had stayed home. <br/><br/>The violence is a notch more for my taste so I may not be able to see this film again without fast forwarding the gore… Even with gut wrenching action, the film manages to leave the viewer moist eyed at the sheer helplessness of the hero&#39;s memory loss situation and his grief on the loss of his loved one. The song &quot;kaise tum mughe mil gaye&quot; externalizes the emotions being fortunate on love beautifully. <br/><br/>The drama is high voltage. I just wish….(SPOILER AHAED) that there was a scene where Aamir&#39;s character is trying to make sense of his bruised body after the villain erases the tattoos or how lost he is after all his life navigation tools like photos etc are destroyed.<br/><br/>Aamir Kahn got under the skin of the character. He displayed raw strength in the action scenes and combined that with vulnerabilitya person beset with extreme grief and an insurmountable challenge of memory loss. And just like Daniel Craig looked &quot;beautiful&quot;Bond…Aamir was delicious on screenthe Van Huesen clad Richie rich. His dedication and hard work for preparation for this role showed in each frame. <br/><br/>Asin could have easily been trapped to give an over the top chirpy performance but she is controlled yet spontaneous and endearing. I had found her irritating in Dashavataram but after Ghajini she will surly be sought after in Bollywood. And I really appreciated the script rising up a notch in giving (SPOILER AHEAD….)a good enough reason for Asin&#39;s character&#39;s murder. One can say the reason for her being killed starteda coincidence, but still her personalitya good Samaritan was well established earlier in the movie. What could have easily been a &#39;rape and murder&#39; turned to be a logical enough incident to have happened in the story. (…SPOILER ENDS..) <br/><br/>So Ghajini is definitely much worth the three hours and 15 minutes…good music and stupendous song picturisation. Some fast edits draw attention to themselves and happen too often…<br/><br/>but all these rues are forgettable for an ultimately engrossing and gripping movie experience
