Ghajini (2008)

Better Late Then Never

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Really an excellent film from Bollywood.Yes it is a remake of the Hollywood film memento but it's awesome and terrific and wonderful.The story was good.The direction from AR murgados was awesome.The screenplay was nice.The dialogues were awesome.The songs were really beautiful good and pleasant to hear.And yeah it has the method actor of Bollywood Aamir khan so the acting will be definitely terrific and awesome by him The acting by Asin was good too.So yes guys it's a must watch film and remember guys the story is really very sad.

The original Tamil version of Ghajini was inspired by the American film Memento, which itself was adapted from the short story Memento Mori. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator searching for the man he believes raped and killed his wife during a burglary. Leonard suffers from interrogate amnesia, which he contracted from severe head trauma during the attack on his wife. Certain concepts like writing notes behind instant Polaroid photographs and tattooing facts on his body were inspired by the film. According to Aamir Khan, "Ghajini is not a remake or even slightly inspired by Memento, but it's a remake of the Tamil film, Ghajini

Short-term memory loss is a disease in the human brain that an individual can only remember incidents and/or trauma due to the attack or things that are related of the cause. And what better explaining of short-term memory loss being displayed in Ghajini by A.R. Murugadoss. This movie deserves much more awards than Jodhaa Akbar in my opinion because history can repeat itself but not a mental disease. Ghajini is a psychological action thriller with Aamir Khan in the lead along with Jiah Khan and the debut of Asin. Pradeep Rawat is the villain while Tinnu Anand and Riyaz Khan provide supporting roles.Audience and critics may think it's a clichéd revenge film, when the hero defeats the villain and wins the battle. But this goes WAAAAY beyond that. The idea of using a psychological disease is a terrific idea to display in the movie. After all, what better way of understanding psychological disorders than films like this. The movie starts off in a medical centre with Sunita (Jiah Khan) a medical student who wants to study the case of Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan) the chairman of Air-Voice, a mobile phone company who later suffers short-term memory loss after a brutal attack by Ghajini (Pradeep Rawat) when he attempted to save his beloved Kalpana (Asin). Sanjay relies on his Polaroid pictures, his tattoos all over his body and notes he puts on the walls to regain his memory. The films then takes into flashbacks on Sanjay meeting Kalpana, falling in love with her, and the arrival of Ghajini who murdered Kalpana after she protested Ghajini for the rights of children. Fast-forward 2 years later and Sanjay has to use his memory techniques to find Ghajini. This movie really brings viewers not only to be entertained but to study many psychological disease a human can suffer. When do we ever have movies that actually can TEACH viewers a lesson or two? We basically have to rely on professors and teachers to learn a lesson when we can make professors take a break and use movies to teach us like Ghajini. The story itself is a tremendous idea and for that i thank Murugadoss for planning this beautiful idea and Piyush Mishra for coming up with excellent dialogue. Performances are top-notch and well delivered by the cast of the film. Though i feel that Tinnu Anand and Riyaz Khan are wasted in the film and have nothing to do. Asin makes her debut impressive and her acting skills are great!! Even though this is her debut film, i feel Ghajini was Asin's best film because she had a lot to do in the film and unlike her other films like Ready, Bol Bachchan and Housefull 2, she had more to deliver in Ghajini than her other films. Jiah Khan was literally the spoilsport of the film. The part when she told Ghajini about Sanjay and his intentions, it seriously got me thinking "omg are you serious right now?" But not gonna lie, she did a fantastic job at it and really made the audience feel shocked, after all it is a thriller film. And last and certainly not least, the man, the heart, the soul and basically everything of the film has to be owed to Aamir Khan. Man what a performance Khan delivered. At first, i thought he was a psychopath killer, but dude the way he changed my opinion. He made himself a living legend by delivering great performances like this. Ghajini is one example of his best-performances and acting skills. I can feel the emotions from him are similar to mine when i get mad at something or someone who i really loved. Aamir Khan, you done it again and hope to see you more on screen. The soundtrack by A.R.Rahman is one fine example of masterpieces Rahman can check on his list. My favourite song is "Behka" with it's funky hip-hop and rock flavours elemented in the song. "Guzarrish" is another song i like and listen to a lot. Hell, all the songs in the soundtrack are just plain awesome and catchy!! I always like Rahman's music in general because he has splendid ideas to make soundtracks literally the best. I recommend you watch this film because of Murugadoss's direction skills, A.R.Rahman's music, Asin's impressive debut, and basically Aamir Khan in the film. You won't regret after watching it.

this movie is the worst movie of Amir khan carrier.I am dam sure it is the worst remake of Hollywood movie. Bollywood don't even know how to copy and make a good remake in Bollywood. i was watching this movie but after 1 hour i started felling sleepy but i did not sleep.i don't know why people make movies like these. there is no reality in this movie . actress asim is looking awesome but don't except anything more than that from these movie.there are many scene which are impossible to digest.god save us from these movies.
