Review
Ghajni 2008 is a very good film seen on a silver screen after a long time. The Film excells in production values with first rate cinematography. The Film contains quite tense moments with a dose of high octane violence and gore, but it does not repels the cine-goers as these elements form a basis in this revenge flick. The story line is not new but derived from some old films of the west and bollywood has produced many films on similar lines. However, the execution of subject is handled with utmost perfection that leaves a viewer spell-bound during the presentation at the cinema. The Film Ghajni showed Aamir Khans' one of his carriers' best performance with a muscular touch which is a delight to watch. I along with my friends had seen GHAJNI three months after its original release (dec2008) in India. The movie did a good bussiness as my friend owns a cinema hall in Karachi-Pakistan and he was of the of the view that film recovered its import cost in one go and in re-runs made two times did a fairly good turnover. It was breeze of fresh air to see people young and old visited at the four major cinemas where Ghajni was released.This film could be stated at its best in terms of music, cinematography and sound effects. For us what has promted me / us to see it again was asin only. It is after a long time a bollywood actress touched our hearts. THE FILM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL WHO WISH SEE A GOOD ACTION THRILLER WITH A DECENT ROMANCE FREE FROM VULGARITY OF ANY SORT. oN A SCALE OF ONE TO 10 IT SHOULD MERIT 9.1/10---EXCELLENT ! --ciao.com

About the Actor
Aamir was first introduced as a child artiste in the 1970's hit Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) -- he was the youngest child in the trio. He 'quit' movies and went on to become the state tennis champion for Maharashtra. Aamir also fell in love with the girl next door in the meantime. He proposed to her the day he turned 21, and she accepted. But apparently, there was opposition since she was from a Hindu family and he, from a devout Islamic one. So, they eloped, got married and returned to their homes. Aamir's wife Reena even appears in the song "Papa Kehte Hain" that made him the darling of the nation. From the tremendous success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), which was released when he was 23, he has blossomed into India's finest actor. His list of sterling performances include Dil (1990), _Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1990)_, _Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992)_, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Rangeela (1995), Raja Hindustani (1996), Ishq (1997), Ghulam (1998) and Sarfarosh (1999).

amazed
I will at times watch movies made from all over the world. Recently I have taken to watching some of the more recent Bollywood flicks. Ghajini was a breathtaking movie. I kind of enjoy the musical parts of the movie as they did tend to tie in well with the story line. I loved the contrast between the Sanjay dating Kalpana and the Sanjay with the bad memory. Aamir is a very wonderful actor. I was very impressed how he was able to carry the short term memory loss. The actor playing Ghajini was positively evil! A very very well done movie. I have the sound track and love it. The movie was heart breaking in certain spots. Having lost some I loved very much I could identify with Sanjays grief.

I think India has a lot to offer and this movie proves my point. One final thing, I didnt realize it, but the movie was 3 hours long. Longer than the normal movies I am used to watching. The happy part of this being I did not realize it was 3 hours until it was over and I happened to look at the clock. The movie kept my attention completely!!

Well done! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to break out of the rut of Hollywood.

Great Movie!
This is a great movie. It contains a lot of violence along with comedy and romance. My husband and I loved the movie.

Hi, I'm Sanjay Singhania
For so long I have wanted to review Ghajini, each time I put it off because I just cannot seem to find the right words to put down that would do justice to this movie. In one word, WOW! I have seen this movie 15 billion times (ok, tongue in cheek), no but for real I have seen it so many times I lost count. The 3 hours go by so fast for a weekend watch and I have the movie divided into mental sections that I watch every night until the movie is finished, only to start all over. Ghajini makes me laugh until my ribs ache and cry too. Oh and did I mention how my jaw drops at the last 15 minutes of the movie.

I'm sure you're aching to get to the crème of the crop, so I'll make it easy. A quick warning though, this is in no way the Hindi version of the movie Memento! The only thing the two movies have in common would be a protagonist with short term memory loss who carries a Polaroid camera with him everywhere to keep new memory, along with tattooed messages all over his body. Oh and I suppose they both share the loss of a loved one. Besides these, the two movies couldn't be any farther apart.

The movie starts out with a group of curious medical students looking for a real life case for their capstone project. They find one that seems really interesting, but are told it's a police case, which means they cannot study it, hence the opening into the life of Sanjay Singhania, the bald guy with scars running in different directions on his head. The sheer rage at which this guy murders his victim seems unrealistic and definitely uncalled-for. I found myself wincing as I watched these scenes. Anyway, one thing leads to the other, cops trail the murder evidence up to Sanjay's apartment and that's when we get a look at Sanjay's diary. The diary opens with the photograph of a remarkably good-looking man, which makes you wonder how such beauty is transformed into the monster we've seen so far. It is this story that made me laugh and cry. One thing it doesn't leave me with is the same wonder at if the rage in the opening is warranted or not. I'll let you be the judge of that since this is my opinion.

Aamir Khan is a delight to watch as always. He keeps getting better and looking fabulous. I love the song Guzarish so much but I'd only listen to the audio (and skip it in the actual movie) because Aamir is so fine and he shows off his bod so well (in the right places too!) that it makes a woman's head spin out of control...sigh. Yeah, so I skip it just so I'm not harboring some thoughts if you know what I mean :D ... Asin, absolutely gorgeous lady, she fits in Kalpana's role so well, as a matter of opinion, fitting so well might be an understatement. Check out her reaction when she couldn't find someone to double for her "fiancée" at her company's New Year party (don't want to give too much away). Or the first time she tells Sanjay how she met her "fiancée". This is the part where I crack up so bad.

The only thing that I kept saying "Nah...not possible to" was the stylized fight sequence especially at the end of the movie. I kept thinking "Short term memory loss doesn't make one the Terminator, or does it?" Well, I enjoy the movie enough to overlook this. Seriously, have fun watching this movie, it's worth the watch.
