Ghajini

Ghajni is the villain who goes around sabotaging people’s lives including our protagonist, Sanjay Singhania (Aamir khan). Ghajini has 20 minutes of screen presence and yet the movie is titled in his name. Why? First, because it’s a smart thing to do from a film-making perspective. Secondly, it’s justified to the core. If it was not for Ghajini, Sanjay Singhania would have happily married his sweetheart and lived happily everafter. If it wasn’t for Ghajini, he wouldn’t have suffered the most unique disease of short-term memory loss ! If it wasn’t for Ghajini, Aamir khan wouldn’t have gotten into such a yum shape ! Great film, great music, great performances. Horrifying violent scenes in the movie do not take away the romance in the least bit.

Sanjay the business tycoon falls in love with a happy-go-lucky struggling actor Kalpana (Asin). Kalpana reciprocates thinking sanjay is some struggling model, in dire need of money and work. His seeming poverty could have been the major motivator for her to fall in love with him since she is an audacious little missy with her too-goody shoes on, 24x7! He can never bring himself to tell her that he’s actually a filthy rich businessman with no parents or relatives whatsoever ! He’s totally embarrassed of the millions and millions of moollah that he makes everyday ! And one messy evening Ghajini ends up ending her life while she’s out to help a few girls from an orphanage. The massacre happens right infront of our rich shy boy Aamir and complex creature that he already was, he loses his mind and some of it’s key memory cells. Jiah khan (I forget her screen name, actually her presence itself invokes memory-loss in me !) helps Sanjay get killed on a number of occasions and then finally comes around helping Sanjay kill Ghajini. Story of revenge for love. Sounds run-of-the-mill? Well, it's not..check it out.
Ghajini gets 8 out of 10 from me.
