Ghajini: Movie Review!
The much awaited Ghajini, starring the talented Aamir Khan was released on Christmas day. However, when you go to watch the film, be prepared to see a lot of violence. When you see an angry Aamir Khan ramming an iron pipe through a man’s stomach in the first few minutes of the film, you get some idea of what’s coming for the next three hours.
The look carried by Aamir is worth noticing and it has already become much hype among the youth. The body covered with tattoos and the much sort after hair cut is supported by his super fist that can beat multiple scary-looking villains who attack him all at once.
For those who just arrived on this planet, Ghajini is the copy of a 2005 Tamil film. However in the original, the villain had a double role and the climactic fight sequence was shot in a swimming pool, not a basti.
The name of Aamir’s character is Sanjay Singhania, a Chennai based industrialist who wears formal short-sleeved shirts with the sleeves rolled up. He meets Kalpana (played by Asin), a struggling model who chatters her way through life, helping everyone who needs help. The two become friends and then fall in love.
However its not a love story but actually a revenge story of a grief-stricken man who also suffers from short-term memory loss (a fact that lead villain Ghajini, played by Pradeep Rawat, finds highly amusing), so you know the film is not going to end happily ever after.
The performance by Aamir as always, is excellent and he plays the revenge-crazed lover very convincingly, Asin plays her role effectively and Rawat has also done justice to his role.
Ghajini is a tense, edge-of-your-seat, pit-of-your-stomach gripping masala film.
