Not going to write much about this movie because there is not much to write about this over-hyped,highly flawed and dumb movie.For all those who call it a good entertaining movie, there are hundreds of better entertaining movies with lesser flaws. I had seen Memento three years back and I instantaneously fell in love with that movie.Since the concept of this movie was "inspired" from Memento, comparisons were bound to be made and I can safely conclude that Ghajini stands nowhere near Memento.In fact, was this movie a romantic flick with Amir and Asin I might have liked it.Their chemistry was one of the very few positives that I could find in Ghajini.Of course, Rahman was magical but you cant expect him to write the scenes too! I like Amir as an actor and have seen him perform much better.So even his acting could not lift my spirits.I would not want to see Mr. Perfectionist in a movie where you cant admire him because you cant stop laughing at the weaknesses of the movie.Asin did well in her first Hindi movie.And last but not the least Pradeep Rawat(Ghajini) who was known for his smaller roles till now could be the next popular lead villain in Bollywood.

Watch it only if you don't want to be someone who missed a movie that grossed over 200 crores!!
