    Do Not Miss This One!

    After a long and tedious wait Ghajini arrived. There was a lot of skepticism about it being a direct rip of its Tamil counterpart as well as Memento. However when one enters the movie theatre, those factors are hardly on one's mind. And any thought of all those things indeed vanished from my head the moment the movie started.

    Ghajini is one of the best thrillers to have come out of the Bollywood stable in recent years. And to top it all, it has a nice dose of humour as well. Aamir Khan once again proves that he's not just the best in business, but he's the one leading the way for Bollywood to make better movies. Indeed as many users have mentioned the villain Ghajini does not look menacing enough. But lets face it, gone are the days when villains used to be called Mogambo. And gone are the days when villains used to have a scar faced appearance. The new age villain is what Ghajini is.

    The acting is superb to say the least. (Although Jiah Khan really spoils the party. She's better at romancing a senior citizen than playing such characters.) Asin is absolutely brilliant and leaves a lasting impression. She makes you feel the depth and the pain of the "Kalpana was killed" tattoo. And finally, Aamir Khan. Well, what more can one say about this man who has changed the landscape of Bollywood movies. Once again he delivers a power packed performance, I could almost feel his emotions within me!

    Watch this movie for its complexity and its simplicity. The complex character of Sanjay and the beautiful and cute Kalpana makes this movie one of the best movies of 2008. What an amazing way of making the year so special!

    All in all

    An exuberantly excessive and unreasonably entertaining mash-up of musical-comedy romance, action-Variety movie mayhem and psycho-thriller suspense.

    Excellent - Aamir proves it again!!!

    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!!!!

    Ghajini is A Must Watch One.

    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....

    Aamir roars in Ghajini.

    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..
