At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Ghajini(Hindi) if not completely, did manage to do justice to the original Tamil Movie. The movie marked the beginning of the 100-crore club in Bollywood. It also marked the debut of Asin and she has performed extremely well in the movie. The movie has every element be it romance,comedy,tragedy or action. Aamir Khan plays the role of a rich businessman who falls in love with Kalpana(Asin),a struggling model. For the rest of the story you must watch the movie, I don't wish to give you a spoiler here. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended

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

A lot of peeps here are calling out on others who compare this movie with Memento saying it's an unfair comparison and that this one is more fun to watch because it's Bollywood and the story's changed a little.No.If you judge movies you have to apply the same standard across the board. It is disappointing to see so many Bollywood movies in the top movies' list which do not deserve to be there at all. Three idiots, Lagaan, Vishwaroopam are all great movies but if you think they are comparable with other Hollywood classics, I'm sorry but you're deluded. Other Indian movies by Mani Ratnam, Satyajit Ray deserve more recognition in this respect.I really hate it when Bollywood films fail to acknowledge where they get their inspiration from if the main premise of a plot is blatantly copied from elsewhere (be it from other States in India or overseas). A movie should give recognition where it's due. To do otherwise is intellectual theft.

I'd wanted to see this film for ages --not least because Aamir Khan is sex-on-legs but also because I liked Memento a great deal and wondered what Bollywood would do with it. And in the event...? Well Aamir is gorgeous, as is the art direction. The songs are class. And the flashbacks to the love story are without doubt the best bits...nobody conveys falling in love quite as deliciously as Aamir does...But the present day Memento bits? Largely an excuse for cartoon violence and it didn't work for me.I found the two female co-stars both lacking --especially the medical student. Too glamorous and too wooden. Sorry, love, but you need to find a different career, me thinks.Overall, it wasn't great but it was interesting and worth a watch.But what is it with all the critics on here that go on about the plot-holes? It's Bollywood not The Discovery Channel! Since when was Bollywood anything more than escapist nonsense. I mean, get real!! Enjoy it for what it is not for what it is not.
