Having seen the first 20 minutes, I had adamantly argued with KS that Ghajini was exactly Memento. Polaroid pictures with names on them, tattooed mirrored text on a well-built body, the same underlying revenge plot, all remind you of Memento. I was quite wrong though. Memento was a much intelligently made movie with an unknown actor (Guy Pearce) as the protagonist, still reaching <a href="https://www.imdb.com/chart/top?tt0209144">#27 on IMDB's all time top 250</a>. Ghajini, on the other hand, terribly depicts an Indian masala replete with action, romance, drama, dream song sequences, and stars the best Indian actor. There can be no comparison between Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece and A R Murugadoss’s Ghajini. Even <a href="https://74.55.20.11/blog/lagaan_blog.php?topicid=34">Aamir Khan did not understand Memento</a> [<small>You might have to sign up on AK's blog to read the post</small>], and you might want to keep your brains at home while watching Ghajini. <br><br> A business tycoon (who rolls up already shorter-than-half sleeves of his shirts in his business meetings) cannot register fresh memories after an incident that killed his romantic partner. He manages his memory through tattoos, notes, pictures and reminders. Finding Ghajini out and killing him is the ultimate goal of his life. The story now follows two parallel plots, the present, and the flashback through an over-stretched diary-reading session, where AK introduces the reader to his associates and romantic adventures a la Tom Riddle from Harry Potter, and there ensues a normal romance-revenge drama. Once you survive through, the although predictable end is sort of likeable. <br><br> Aamir Khan, no doubt, worked (out) a lot for the film. The concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia">anterograde amnesia</a> is very fresh and novel for Indian cinema. But alas, there it ends. Murugadoss forgot to pay attention to the other pieces. So while the movie is a blockbuster, looking at things other than AK's abs would reveal tons of plot loopholes, a dragging narrative, repetitive jokes, and pathetic acting by almost everybody else. Despite his new-found muscles, the short and stocky Aamir incredulously thrashes equally well-built men a foot taller than him. <br><br> Jiah Khan couldn't even act properly to drink water. Kalpana was satiatingly cheeky and moronically funny and a huge fan of Mother Teresa, but Asin did some justice to the role. Pradeep Rawat definitely did much better as Sultan in Sarfarosh and as Ashwatthama in B R Chopra's Mahabharata than as Ghajini where he looks a South Indian unsucessfully faking a thick Haryanwi accent. The other nobodies looked acting schools aspirants. ARR's music too was a let down. I liked only <i>Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayin</i>, the others have silly lyrics and catchy beats. <br><br> The clone has heavy undertones of the Tamil version. The extras, the accents, the ambiance. Anyone would have better watched the original instead. Another big blunder was the nomenclature. The Tamil movie is about a concept 'Ghajini' from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmud_of_Ghazni">Mahmud of Ghazni</a>, who invaded India 17 times till he succeeded; but the history link has been screwed up by naming the villain so. <br><br> The length of the film is a full three hours. Had I edited it, I'd have retained the first half an hour, the last half hour, and extracted another half from the middle two hours. Ghajini, which could have been an seat-gripping psychological thriller, ended up being a predictable romantic revenge drama, which had to have a stupid epilogue. Aamir Khan is the only good thing; the movie failed to live up to my expectations, and would fetch only 6 out of my scale of 10. <hr>

Pain, helplessness and struggling with own for self-identity, Ghajini’s story revolves around the emotions of these words. It will not be wrong if I say it is simply a masala stuff like other bollywood movies, which becomes special when Sanjay Singhania (Amir Khan) a business tycoon struggles to catch his memory back which he looses every fifteen minutes. In this process audience’s mind starts to swim with Sanjay’s mind and this is the key factor for the success of Ghajini. Story is simply straight Sanjay Singhania is the owner of AirVoice mobile company. Kalpana (Asin) daydreams to be a super model actually working, as an extra artiste in an advertisement production company. She is famous of her unpunctuality and pranks. One misunderstanding and Kalpana becomes Sanjay’s girl friend, which actually she is not. Moreover she has never seen Sanjay, but she exploits the situation fully for her self-promotion. A twist in the story, which is still ignored by all the critics, is the sequences that make the story take a huge turn. This twist relates to media who makes the news out of gossips without checking authenticity. Going in details will be an injustice to audience and the movie. These sequences give lighter mood to thriller story. With many bad characteristics, innocent Kalpana has great sense of helping needy. This makes business tycoon Sanjay to fall in love with a struggling model living in a basti. Now sanjay wants to love her the way she is, so he conceals his real identity. Kalapana’s self-made discipline of helping people in trouble becomes enemy of herself. She was killed by the villain Ghajini and in the event of saving her; Sanjay gets severe injuries on his head. Here Sanjay take a new birth with the decease called short-term memory loss. He can remember only what happened in last 15 minutes and the technique he invents to remember everything hammers the audience’s mind so hard that they cannot come out of that shock for next 3 hours. Another USP is that whatever you expect to reveal in the coming scene, the director does exactly opposite. This makes a tremendous screenplay. In his first role Amir gives a smile on your face while in second mask he emotes so wildly and makes your eyes standstill not even to blink. This Sanjay speaks with his eyes and expressions instead of lips. Specially the scenes when Kalpana is killed, Sanjay stuck in girl’s hostel lift and scene in the climax when he kills Ghajini, Amir’s expressions takes you to the height of emotional trauma. Asin is the new talented discovery for bollywood and she nurture a hope for fresh female roles in future. Her bubbly appearance touches the hearts. She has lived her role quiet naturally. Ghajini has been titled exceptionally on the name of a villain in the story, but the titled character comes over the screen only for the moments countable on fingers. In a small role Pardeep Rawat has put the real soul of cruel butcher into Ghajini. Jiah Khan also plays an important role that moves the story further in the second half. Director AR Murugadoss has exploited the capabilities of all the artistes at their level best. He has put them all exactly in the shoes of characters. Amir Khan’s hardwork to build 8 packs has been appropriately improvised in the character. Screenplay is accurately tight and gives a rhythmic pace to the story on screen. Ravi Chandran’s cinematography is top notch. He has captured the emotions of sanjay and locations of Namibia in eye soothing manner. Parsoon Joshi’s lyrics are well made for AR Rehman’s tunes. Guzarish, behka and tum mil gayi has already on the lips of music lovers but only Guzarish fits in the story exactly while tum mil gayi accelerate the emotions. In the end I can say it’s a routine masala movie in which the presence of MR. Perfectionist and freshness of Asin makes it entertaining. It satisfies the emotional and entertainment urge of audience. Because of this, duration of three hours does not irritate.

One of the most worst adaptation. I saw Memento and that movie is a real classic thriller. Director Nolan showed real brave creating a movie in reverse order. Ghajini has took some of its concepts(amnesia and taking picture concept which is the best part of the film i think) and added some south Indian masala, like He-man type hero, some irritating comedy, unnecessary scenes and characters (like the police officer at first) etc. All of these stuffs have just made this movie cheap, nothing more. I think, all will believe that Ghajini is getting a huge hit just because of Aamir Khan hype. If u delete him from the movie, it could be the most flopped movie of the year.
