GHAJINI

Only the name of the film sounds diffenrent, there is nothing new to the story.
There has been so many films in the 90's with such storyline where the actor's girlfriend gets murdered by a villain and the only motive of the hero is to kill the villain.
It's kind of the same thing packaged in a different manner.
The thing that went in favour of the movie is that such story came after long time and then it's the magic of Aamir khan that he will make the same thing look different by doing it in a different manner.
Although it may sound strange but still i would say that it's the only hindi movie which is
adapted better than the original which is "MEMENTO".
IT's not that I dint like Memento but the way the story has been told in Ghajini convinced me more than Memento.
Talking about the music although the film dint really required songs with such storyline still
songs has been encorporated into it. But Rehmaan has done justice to them.
I dont know why a section of media are saying that lyrics by Prasoon Joshi is not that good, I dint find anything wrong with it.
Anothet thing is that Aamir khan carries the whole film throughout the movie alone ,there is nothing for Jiyah Khan to do and as for Aasin is concerned she lacked that extra bit to tickle the funny bone of audience.
But she looks good on screen.
They could have got some other actor to play the role of Ghajini, the actor looked totally unconvincing.
So, the film is about only 1 person.
Aamir is good in both his characters.He must be given credit for all the hardwork put in behind those bulging muscles.
I would say that if you have an option of watching either ghajini or Rab.... , then go for Ghajini
atleast it makes sense unlike Rab... where the actress fails to recognize the two different looks of her husband.
Ghajini on a scale of 1 to 5 will score 3 1/2.

MEMENTO is far better than GHAJNI.
Aamir did try to justify the character but i guess in 15 min u just cant become so loud and wild and pop here and there like animal.
I suppose its just a entertain movie nothing else I didn't expect Aamir Khan movie just entertains the audience .
He gets full mark for his 8 pack body the only thing i liked in the movie .
