Featured reviews
Ghajini is an out an out action thriller set at the backdrop of romance and revenge drama. Its almost a frame 2 frame remake of Tamil hit Ghajini, which was originally inspired by Memento. Since I loved both the versions. It was difficult to expect anything newer or better from the Hindi version. So the verdict would mostly revolve around "did the makers ensure the benchmarks are met". Its a definite 'A' for being able to meet the gigantic expectations. No, the director has not disappointed you.
The high points are the few thrills that are part of the narrative, the edge of the seat kinds.
While avoiding comparisons, Aamir is done a terrific job playing a confused and furious person in search of the killer of girl friend. His corporate getup was styled differently and looks convincing. I can already sense, the style being a rave shortly in the corporate dressing. His toned up body looks fab, and justifies few of the over the top fights.
Asin has won my heart again, din't think she would be able to do so, repeating the feat she did 2 years ago. In few of the reels she literally stole the movie from Aamir. The climax is different and is better picturised.
Overall when you leave the theatre you do feel if you missed something.. I can only sum up the following could be why i felt so..
1. I knew the story and could predict the dialogues in advance. 2. The length was a mild problem 3. The action sequences looked dated in parts, one blow and 4 on the ground. 4. The originals were too good to repeat it.
Oh I wished, I had the bliss of not having watched the originals, to take a fresh look at it.
For the humongous effort of the team, go watch it if you are hungry for masalas beyond cakes and wine this holiday season..

Ghajini is an entertainer.
It has loads of action,comedy,drama and romance which makes it a family packed entertainer.
The story is good.
Screenplay is penned very well.
But the problem is that the movie is long,it could have been trimmed 15-20 minutes and the movie even gets violent at times,which could have been shortened.
Direction by A.R Murugadass is excellent.
The music is very good.
Performance wise-Aamir Khan is menacing.He is superb.Newcomer Asin is very good.Jiah Khan is perfect.Pradeep Rawat is first rate.

Ghajini is a Film of Revenge, Love and Action. Executed Brilliantly By The Director AR Muragadoss.
Screen Play & Cinematography is at Top Notch, We can't say flaws about it.
Coming To The Oscar Winner AR Rahman who have penned an Beautiful Composition Which is aptly needed for the Film. His songs Guzarish, Kaise Mujhe, Behka are looping our ears even after the film ends...
Coming To Performance of Lead Actors.
Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan Nailed the Role Sanjai Singhania. A Person who Loss the memory for each 15 mins, And Searching the Murderers of his loving lady. He Perfectly Shaped into character well. And as a Business Tycoon in several scenes, He displays his charmness convincingly.
Asin, The Leading Lady Who made her Bollywood Debut , Respiring her character In Ghajini 2005 Tamil Film. Is Fabulous as Kalpana. She Played her role very well and the impact of the character is strong even we leave the theatre.
Jiah Khan as a Medical Student does her pretty good as Supportive to Sanjay. The Villain ' Ghajini ' that is Pradeep Rawat is a Great Performer as Brutal Killer.
Overall Ghajini is a Clear Cut Blockbuster All the Way....

It is very pleasant to see, in the past decade, the Indian movies has raised themselves in standards. Ghajini definitely is one of the toughest project that Aamir khan would have done, there is no doubt in that. It is not always easy to remake a hit version and alter the storyline here and there and still come out good. It is only possible through the best men in the industry. And Aamir is THE best. ARRahman - WOW!!! He made the Kaise mujhe song echo in all the audience's heart as they leave the theater. Its like "Every night in my dreams" song from titanic. Soul touching performance from the music Guru!! Overall, this movie has to be watched for its storyline, humor, sentiment, twists. Overall Ghajini is a great entertainment-packed. Go! watch it today!!!!
First, the music is by A.R. Rahman, and this genius who also did Slumdog Millionaire really made this film entertaining. Thee film will be familiar to a lot of viewers, as it is a loose remake of Momento. One can hardly imagine how Rahman's music would fit, but it does because it is also a love story. How did they do that? The rich Sanjay 'Sanju' Singhania pretends to be an average Joe named Sachin. Aamir Khan was great in the dual role, and I can imagine that throngs of girls, and not a few gay men will be enchanted with him as he is shirtless in the part of the movie where he is seeking his girlfriend's killer (Pradeep Singh Rawat).
The girlfriend is Kalpana (Asin). She is fantastic and definitely will keep your interest through the long three hours of this film. She does one too many good deeds and it cost her her life.
It is fascinating in the end when Ghajini catches up with him. The steps he took to "erase" his memory. But, it didn't do any good.
Really good combination of thriller, revenge, and love story as only Bollywood can do it.

Sanjay Singhania: To her, I'm just an ordinary guy. I wish to remain this unexceptional man who wins her love. So I haven't told her the truth about me. If she accepts me, then I'll confess to being Sanjay Singhania. If she refuses, then I remain Sachin and fade out of her life.
