Revenge seems to be the buzz word for Ghajini. Revenge is not limited to the story line alone but also for the director also who has taken revenge for the freedom not given to him by the tamil makers of Ghajini.
Ghajini is a full and full commercial fare which has got a much improved outcome from its indian original (Tamil "Ghajini"). The director has shown to the world how good he is in his trade if the right amount of freedom is provided. Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan) a business tycoon goes in search of Kalpana (Asin - Debutant in Hindi) to settle scores with her for giving out a wrong information about him. But once Sanjay gets introduced to her he is totally swept of his feet by her. Sanjay not wanting to disclose his identity christens himself as Sachin. Sanjay then gets to move with kalpana and by virtue of her kindness and affection she shows towards others falls in love with her. When Sanjay decides to reveal his true identity tragedy strikes in a big way as kalpana is killed by the villain and at the same time sanjay becomes a amnesia patient where he cannot remember happenings for more than 15 minutes. Sanjay then decides to take revenge on the villain and the major drawback apart from his 15 minute memory is that he does not remember the face of the villain. Whether sanjay finds the real villain and takes revenge or not forms the rest of the story. Sunita (Jiah Khan) comes as a final year medical student who follows the case of sanjay has played a very matured role. Jiah Khan is in her sensuous best in the Latoo song. A R Rahman has once again proved his worth and the same goes to the cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. Director A R Murugadoss has made a few changes to the climax from the tamil version and has fine tuned the screenplay in order to have a wider appeal. On the whole a terrific effort from the entire cast and crew of Ghajini.
Nice review. Looks like the movie is not just another remake.
