“Ghajini” is a fascinating study of the darkest and the noblest recesses of the human mind, a monument to ultra-violence, a gripping action thriller with characters so beautifully etched that you end up caring for the protagonists and what happens to them. Deservedly the top grosser of 2008.
I wish I could have said this for ‘Ghajini’ if only because I greatly admire Aamir Khan, his acting methods, his meticulous attention to detail and his association with “different” non-formulaic commercially risky movies like 2007’s brilliant “Taare Zameen Par”.
But I just cannot.
Unless of course you hit me on the head with a rusty rod or you bust my stomach with a tap still attached to the pipe.
So here’s what I feel. Truly.
Ghajini is awful. It Sucks. The worst ever movie of Aamir Khan.
Why? It’s difficult to know where to start.
Should I start with the “prince-who-pretends-to-be-pauper meets saccharinely-sweet-hearted matchstick girl” fairy tale that drags on for hours?
Or should I star with Aamir khan trying to like a wannabe Sunny Deol, Shouting at the top of his lungs to grab people’s attention or wait maybe he was trying to act King Kong in search for his long lost mate.
But, after watching this movie I just have few questions in my mind if any die-hard fan of Aamir Khan bothers to answer it.
1) I wonder how he remembered to get all the Tattoos done if he was already suffering from STML?
2) As far as I know the Polaroid cameras have been out of production units since past few years, did they make a special one for him?
3) Does he also have a tattoo to change his underwear’s everyday or has he written it somewhere?
4) Is Aamir Khan really the strongest person alive on earth or was it that the hooligans neck was really weak to Rotate at an angle of 180 degrees?
5) How do the Goons at the end of the movie don’t have guns, did they leave it at home or they had given it for servicing? (courtesy Che)
And last but not the least.
HOW CAN A MOVIE BECOME A HISTORIC HIT IN 14 MINUTES MAN?
The bottom line completely forgettable movie.
I hope you don’t forget to comment after reading this forgettable post.

hey... a word perfect blog!
but em a die hard fan of Aamir Khan.. so it explains how i've liked its content.. (:P) ;)
Well cinema in this case is pretty mindless.
Its a pity we miss out a lot of good hindi movies, no Im no angrez mem and all that but I think we should really stop watching movies cause of cast.
And besides who the fuck acts directs and pees for the production house people at the same time?
When an actor acts, if he has knowledge of direction, it only helps in enhancing his skills, that definitely doesn't mean he should go experimenting his multi tasking skills :(
Why is it that hindi cinema always seems inept at efficiently portraying character traits of a personality?
Alfie did it in 1940 itself :(
shut up Kurt...
dont say such things about an Aamir Khan movie...
and i felt that it was a brilliant idea a brilliant concept...all your questions are questions that orignate from a desire to ridicule and to find faults...
hmph!!!
PS: very well written post darling. keep up this a way. im proud of you....
:-)
PPS: were you planning on linking something to the post. because it has not been linked...
@running in circles
exactly my point. we do have a lot of good movies in hindi cinema that go away unnoticed cause they don't have a commercial starcast to support it & completely bullshit and plagiarized movies like this one go on to become historic hits. Irony of hindi Cinema i guess
And Kurtie dear how could you forget to mention that they chewed a great concept (read: memento)into puke. Remove STML from the story and it's your regular Indian masala movie.
Hmmm..somebody thinks it's brilliant concept.
Yeah yeah, Plagiarism has been the favorite concept of Bollywood film makers always.
@copy
She is not the first one to say that it was a Brilliant concept. Most of my friends think the same. And for me this one was doubly plagiarized From HOLLYWOOD to TOLLYWOOD to BOLLYWOOD.
@preeti
I don't say that aamir khan is a bad actor, did I? Even i kinda like his acting but this one was an exception. :P Its not a brilliant Concept at all, not even bloody brilliantly Plagiarized.
Try looking for a movie story of a Hollywood flick called memento and see is you can match any similarities.
arrey logon...
pata hai memento se lift kiya gaya hai...
in fact the tamil version is far far better than the hindi one...
the concept, people the concept in itself is beautiful and unique...it could have originated in bollywood, mollywood, sandalwood, tollywood or hollywood...
and aamir...lets disconnect him from this...
@preeti
why do we disconnect Aamir from this, huh?
because aamir need not be involved in this debate...he's a mere actor who's been asked to do the role...
samjha....???
Oh by the way, GAG HINEY?????
wtf?
I Know its bad but, i thought it was actually a bad ass movie hence, GAG HINEY!
