G for Ghajini, S for Short term memory loss

Ten days into watching Ghajini, I still can’t get over its tunes. I want ‘Guzarish’ as my ring tone but I don’t have the original version. The movie has grossed 100 crores in its opening week in the box office and has become the no 1 movie of 2008.

Ghajini turns out to be the re-re make of ‘memento’, its south Indian version was also ‘ Ghajini’ and Asin was in it too.

If you thought Bollywood was loosing itself without heroes fighting a dozen ‘gundas’ with the power of his biceps, heroines and heroes had stopped dancing around and there was no item song thrown at you for no reason- don’t turn away: ‘Gajini’ has it all.

Amir and Asin make a great pair. It’s only Amir who can make you believe he can ring a dandy’s neck with a swift punch and if you are a depressed lover with a short term memory you act like a mad bull.

I enjoyed the movie thoroughly (pura paisa wasool jo hua). There’s action, comedy, tragedy and romance all in one. Murgados has made a great directorial debut, Jiah Khan’s done her part by shouting ‘SSSSANNNJAY’, Asin’s the next big thing and Amir proves he’s can shine in both commercial and critical cinema. The villain’s(Was he Aswathama from Mahabharat?) dialogue delivery was impressive ‘Short term memory loss, tu mujhe samjhayega?’’

The script fits the plot and the action scenes are marvelously directed. But questions can’t be stopped:
• Who writes personal diaries now a days?
• Are we allowed to carry notes of One Lakh thirty five thousand bundled in jet planes(Oh!private planes…but??)
• Why does Amir never eat in the movie?
• Where does all that power come from (just from exercising??)

Besides these futile questions there’s no reason why you shouldn’t watch ‘Gajini’. After RBJ any movie could do the trick but Gajini is the chosen one.
I am looking forward to watching Asin in ‘London dreams’ and Amir in ‘Three Idiots’. A number of off the beat movies like ‘Dev D, Dil Kabbadi, Oei Lucky Lucky Oei, Luck by chance and Delhi 6 will be my priorities after the exams. For now I must go back to my books.Enjoy the upcoming weekends:Chadini Chowk to China is on its way.
