Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

One of my all time favorites.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It looks like memento. almost the same.The subject is the same. Tattoos are similar. stolen screenplay

Ghajini is an Indian psychological thriller film directed by A.R.Murugodoss and is a remake of a Tamil film of the same name released in 2005. Ghajini's linear story followed a sequence of events and ends with a typical happy ending (sort of) to provide closure for the audience. The film follows Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan), the protagonist of the film with his hunt for Ghajini, the man behind the murder of his girlfriend Kalpana Shetty (Asin). Sanjay suffers from anterograde amnesia, which prevents him from forming new memories, as a result of which he is unable to remember anything for more than around 15 minutes. This film is actually two films in one, first being the romantic-comedy flashback of Sanjay and Kalpana, and the other being the gore and violent present following the death of Kalpana. The most entertaining part of the film was the light romantic-comic backstory where rich businessman falls for middle class model Kalpana Shetty. The protagonist hides his identity and pretends to be a struggling actor to spend more time with Kalpana. This romantic backstory could have been a separate film in itself. Music and background score by A.R. Rahman were integrated well within Ghajini, with Behka, Kaise Mujhe Tum, and Guzarish being the highlights. There was decent chemistry between the lead pair. One of the cons of the movie was that it was too long; then again the movie was actually two movies in one. I'd say the movie is a one-time watch. Some people also claim that Ghajini is a remake of Christopher Nolan's Memento to which I strongly oppose. This film is NOT a remake of Memento. The confusion is created from the fact that both of their lead characters suffer from anterograde amnesia who used a Polaroid camera and tattoos to remember things. Also, both of the lead characters were driven by the murder of their dead wife/girlfriend and the urge to avenge. But these things don't suffice for being called a "remake". Ghajini followed a linear narrative in contrast to the mind-blowing non- linear narrative of Memento. The story that follows is again totally different. I advise the people who haven't watched Memento to go watch it and not give in to the hype that Ghajini is a remake of Memento.

There have been several south remakes in the past, but Ghajini was one of the first official south remakes, The film was directed by same director A.R.Murugadoss, Also many actors were repeated especially the lead actress Asin who made her Hindi debut, Also Riyaz Khan and some few actors reprised their roles. The film was more famous due to Aamir Khan's physique look and hairstyle which was promoted extensively Ghajini is a remake of Tamil film Ghajini(2005) which was a superhit and the director almost keeps the film same throughout with minute changes by Aamir Khan in the climax and here and there. The film starts well, though at times some things are overdone(as in most south remakes), however Aamir's entry is superb, his scenes where he forgets things may not be logical but yet are good, the flashback too is well handled, however script wise there are several loopholes, but yet in such films such things do get overlooked The climax is rewritten, also the villain's twin part is changed here with only a solo villain yet the end is well handled though a bit hard to digest yet works well.Direction is good though the film is hardly changed from original Music is decent, though most songs have South flavour Kaise Mujhe is the best sonAamir Khan with his new physique look is superb in his role and plays the role perfectly, as the business tycoon he is superb, as the short term memory loss revenge seeker he is simply fab, Aamir's dedication is anywayz spot on, Though comparing him to Surya may not be right but he is brilliant Asin reprises her role from original and is superb here too Pradeep Rawat reprises his role from the original and is superb Late Jiah Khan is alright Riyaz Khan reprises his part too, rest are all okay

Ghajini represents everything that is wrong and sick about "bollywood" (even this name makes me feel sick and gives away what "bollywood" is all about i.e. very very poor copy of Hollywood). It can't get rid of what it thinks is necessary to make a "good" movie. Non-sense comedy sequences, self-proclaimed best action (unnecessary of course), "songs" (there is no need to say anything about songs in a bollywood movie), and above all steal a brilliant story without the faintest hint of honest acknowledgment and then trash it in such a way that you can be bastard enough to claim it your original story. Murugadoss represents a classic case of Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v (copy and vomit).On the other hand, Memento (2000) is all about what is so great and lovable about Hollywood and Nolan in particular (I know he is British). It is not about thinking out of the box but it is believing that there is no box. It's about learning to remove any constraints and so allowing your style and imagination to take you where you need to go, to push the boundaries (this is from JJ Connolly).For the review I would recommend the article by Kathy Gibson from Access Bollywood (http://accessbollywood.net/2009/01/01/movie-review-ghajini-2008/). I think she has done more justice to both Memento and Ghajini than I could.
