    Memento was crap,this is the real blockbuster!

    Of course,some readers would say that Memento(the English version of Ghajini)was better.*cough cough*EXCUSE ME?!This movie is Oscar material.Momento is crap compared to Ghajini.Guy Pierce acted like a wallaby and didn't look good AT ALL.Surya's looks and acting and Asin's cute and acting must earn this title an Oscar Nomination.Now,to the cons of the film.Nayantara's acting was........BORING!The lady has grown too fat and was also ugly.Her character was also pretty foolish and was technically not needed at all.Riyaz Khan could have taken care of the job pretty well.The villain could have been a little less gruesome.The ending,too,was very abrupt.

    But two exceptionally good points about the movie were Surya's looks(he was so hot!)and graphics(awesome!).You movie buffs must catch this cool title with subtitles.The songs 'Oru Maalai' and 'Suttum Vizhi'are two wonderful songs which I really liked.I,being a girl who hates Tamil movies,think this one is definitely a winner.With a touch of romantic numbers,a hint of action sequences and a pinch of graphics,Ghajini is a must watch.

    romantic psychological thriller film

    It is a impressive story told in a very inventive manner. Surya steals the show. Be it the romantic and rich Sanjay or the struggling man out to seek revenge, Surya is simply original and expressive.

    He has really bent his back to make the action sequences sizzle. Sizzles, he also with Asin. The two some really make a pair. Asin is full of vibrant energy. Nayantra is okay-okay.

    The film could have done with a little more of humor. Harris Jeyaraj's music is again brilliant. He lifts the film to a new high with his smart rerecording. Rajasekhar's camera work is also another high point of the film.

    Kanal Kannan's stunt choreography needs special mention.

    Thanks a lot for Murugadoss for showing that masala movies need not be inane or insipid.

    Ghajini works, big time.

    its about how a short term memory loss patient takes revenge on people who killed his lover

    Sanjay ramasamy(surya)is an short term memory loss patient and in the flash back he is an business tycoon ,but falls in love with a advertisement model(asin),who is interested in helping others.because of this nature she lands up into trouble and it goes up to the extent of she being killed.Surya who develops short term memory loss after an assault,plans to take revenge on those people responsible for his lovers murder.nyanthara plays the role of a medical student who is interested in case history of Surya. initially without knowing the story of Surya,she creates problem for him indirectly,but at last help him to reach the people whom he wanted to kill.this season being an one with

    releases of lots of psycho thrillers,ghajini could do well.except certain scenes where there logic is overruled ,its a good movie

    Beautifully made in all aspects!

    I got to tell you that this movie elevated my respect to Tamil film industry. Very rare you find such a beautiful and skillful storytelling! Most of the time the director's direction matters in the movie. He can mould the acting the way he asks for. And that's what you see from this one. Movie storyline seems to be inspired from Hollywood all time favorite "Momento". The beauty of the movie is the pace in which it goes. Each scene is worth watching. Special effects and background score is the best I have seen! Surya was perfect fit for the role and he carried it with passion and dedication. This is the first movie of Asin I have seen and Man! she rocks. None in her genre can act so real! Finally have to say, this is the way the indianized version of Hollywood flicks should be made ;-)

    Concept is rather an oxymoron of the movie experience. Definitely not a short term memory movie

    If a movie is similar to an Hollywood effort, there pops to terms. If it works out, it's called inspiration and if doesn't, it will be called plagiarism.

    Never the less, this effort cannot be sidelined just for using the same ingridients as in the original. The hardwork for the homework is clearly visible in adapting and localising the script. The director's signature of perfectness in screenplay is obvious and gives us pure satisfaction upon the end card. If there's something to be complained, it's the commercial stuff like songs.

    The suspense and the thrill upon it's revealing is smooth and soothing. Certain episodes/elements in some movies, helps in retaining them in our minds for a longer periods. This fits in that genre very well.
