‘Ghajini’ is a film that ought to be seen for the sheer novelty of its theme. Inspired – and to some extent, lifted – from Hollywood’s ‘Memento’, it tells the story of Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan) who can’t remember anything beyond 15 minutes. He suffers from short term memory loss. But somehow he has found ways to remind himself of just one thing – that he has to find and kill the man whose name his murdered lover Kalpana ( Asin) whispered in his ear just moments before he too was hit on the head with an iron rod, never to fully recover his memory again. So, through tattoos and polaroids and notes he keeps reminding himself of just one aim – to find Ghajini, the killer whose face and whereabouts he neither knows, nor can remember.
This movie is a remake of the tamil flick of the same name.The script has been improvised in many aspects in the second half.Aamir Khan has done a wonderful job. Be it the bold, energetic business magnate or the wild chaser Aamir has stolen the show. Asin seems full of energy.It was so good to see her again in a role which she could handle with ease.One aspect which i liked better was the aspect of the emotion 'pain' addressed in the movie which the tamil film failed to address though it was equally a good film.When the actor wakes up in his flat and doesn't follow where he is, we will feel sorry for his state.Aamir did well not to perform the role as a role of a psycho.It was of a handicapped person's revenge.He gave a human touch to the role.The scene when he hits the villain after clearing his teary eyes with his blood soaked hands is a terrific performance.The background score could have been improved.It’s a full-on masala film that is stylishly shot and its full of entertainment.Be it in its strong plot, love content or revenge.Ghajini is a must watch for an Aamir Khan fan and a fulltu paisa vasool movie for a Bollyowod buff.
