Strange, Confused, Gory... Thats what Ghajini is. You can easily
recognize it if you have ever seen a Tamil/Telugu movie. I wonder why
did Amir Khan even sign such a script. The movie starts with a decent
note, shows us a troubled man. Then his past is portrayed beautifully.
Asin, the female lead carries the story on her shoulders. Her presence
is full of liveliness, which is the sole saving grace of the movie. But
when the movie returns back to present, it becomes boring and devoid of
emotion. Though Amir tries his best, he is only able to show Sanjay's
emotions, but that does not instill life in a dead storyline. And the
climax is so flat that one just gets irritated.
Background score is pathetic. So is editing. The songs are forcefully
put but beautifully shot. Jiah Khan character is again a big flop. Not
much scope there. The villain is a big fool (total South Indian style).
Asin deserves a huge round of applause. She is perfect in the movie,
and the only reason why you sit till the end of movie.
All in all, Ghajini is all hype, and zero material. Indian film-makers
should understand that when they are copying a classic like Memento,
they should at least try to be true to the original. Though the idea of
less flashbacks was good, but the film was broken apart into two
halves. While the romantic part strikes a chord with the audience, the
gory part just falls flat...
The film also shows Amir's desperation in front of SRK. And poroves why SRK is the Bollywood Baadshah, and not Amir. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is way better than Ghajini.
Not worth a watch !!!
