Review of Ghajini

Ghajini (2008)
7/10
Before I kill you, I'll show you exactly how I killed your Kalpana.
8 November 2009
First, the music is by A.R. Rahman, and this genius who also did Slumdog Millionaire really made this film entertaining. Thee film will be familiar to a lot of viewers, as it is a loose remake of Momento. One can hardly imagine how Rahman's music would fit, but it does because it is also a love story. How did they do that? The rich Sanjay 'Sanju' Singhania pretends to be an average Joe named Sachin. Aamir Khan was great in the dual role, and I can imagine that throngs of girls, and not a few gay men will be enchanted with him as he is shirtless in the part of the movie where he is seeking his girlfriend's killer (Pradeep Singh Rawat).

The girlfriend is Kalpana (Asin). She is fantastic and definitely will keep your interest through the long three hours of this film. She does one too many good deeds and it cost her her life.

It is fascinating in the end when Ghajini catches up with him. The steps he took to "erase" his memory. But, it didn't do any good.

Really good combination of thriller, revenge, and love story as only Bollywood can do it.
