There seldom comes a film whose name is not about the hero or the heroine but the name of the villain. Ghajini, is exactly that. And yet, ghajini’s role in the movie is not as important as that of Sanjay Singhania, who has to find Ghajini at all costs and take revenge for killing his beloved. The twist in the tale, Sanjay is suffering from short term memory loss and he can remember things only for 15 minutes!
There you have it. A plot of a film that is already grossing Rs. 200 crores worldwide and may make much more in the coming weeks. And I think all the credit must go to Aamir Khan. Not only is he looking his killer best with the eight packs body, he has acted superbly yet again in this romantic action film. Credit must also go to the South Indian director A.R. Murugadoss who is also the writer of the film. His magic lies in the way he unravels the complete story, with its flashbacks, part by part. There is no urgency to finish of the romantic story that leads to the murder of the heroine and then the complete make over of the hero who turns a killer. Another person who definitely deserves applause is Asin , the new bollywood star in the making. You really realise when you watch the movie, as to why this southern actress is being hailed by all the biggies of Indian film industry. She actually lives her role in the movie, be it the romantic scenes, portrayal of the mischievous nature, or the pinnacle moment – the scene when she is murdered. She is natural, charming, beautiful and a good actress. Lets hope she keeps up the good work.
If you have watched Tare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan’s last box office hit, you will be utterly surprised with the completely different look and character he is playing in this film. He is dark, angry, dangerous and yet you feel sorry for his plight. The best scene are when his fifteen minutes of memory are over and he suddenly stops doing whatever he is doing and stares blankly into space. I think there are very few in bollywood be it the kings or the singhs who could have portrayed the pain, romance and the anguish of this character so well as Aamir Khan has.
Do watch the movie, but avoid taking kids as the action seens may be a little harsh on them. Oh yes, there is another heroine called Jiah Khan who is also seen. But her role is so normal that it seems anybody could have done it.
I am now keen on watching the original tamil film Ghajin just to see how the southern stars have faired. Are they as good as Aamir Khan? Let me watch it first and tell you. Or perhaps someone out there has already seen the southern flick, then do tell me is it as superb as the hindi Ghajni?
