Ghajini

Gajhini ,a name which symbolizes the  Path Breaking Cinematic Achiever of the year and of all times, is a cinematic Genius in it’s own Right. Yet I would beg to differ on certain points which makes it short on making the Most of the Sources. Why? Here is the answer

Story and Screenplay :  Well. Mr. Murugadoss didn’t have to do much for this as “Memento “ would have already provided the help Needed. Come on, If you are adopting (Here I mean COPY) the Story and Screenplay then give the original Writers some credit by Displaying their names in the Credits… The Story is Copy of the French  Hollywood Flick “Memento”.so  One Star for  finding such a movie to copy. Screenplay is good and  bad Simultaneously coz the Story makes it look good but the Length of the scenes makes it look really awful.

Direction :  A.R. Murugadosss  must have thought Priyadarshan makes huge money out of making the tamil versions of their movie into hindi and casting  Who’s who of Bollywood. But He failed to make an impact as to Originality. Some of the Scenes are masterfully Presented but overall., Direction Looses Strength in terms of the Movie has been Given a Typical South Indian Look which makes it hard to Swallow.

 Cast and Performance : Well the Most Pathetic Part of the Movie was It’s Casting Excepting the Case of Aamir Khan.and Jiya Khan  And to an extent Asin. Pradip Rawat is Horrible as  the   central  Character of Ghajini..Khalid as  Aamir’s manager looks a bit Odd  in terms of Reality.  Tinu Anad  makes a good Impact as Asin’s  boss.   Who came up with an idea of casting That Inspector as the Inspactor in the Movie?... he is full of typically south masal Acting. He makes the Movie So UN REAL yaar. I wished if I had got a chance I would have killed him if didn’t meet with an accident. :D

But Aamir  tells the world at large  why he is known as “The Perfectionist”. He delivers Career Best Performance in the Movie.  Jiya Khan Looks Authentic as the Medical Student except in the A Song.

Asin is photogenic but  she clearly gives the image that she is new to the world of  Authentic acting.

Music : Well A R Rahman Disappoints in terms of totality. Only  Two of the songs (Behka and Kaise Mujhe)  of the entire Album  sounds like Composed by the  magician Known as Rahman.  Gujariush might have become the Chart Toppper but it is Not Rahman’s Music.

Technicals :  Well if you look at technicals  overall. The Movie Gives a Nice and Easy Hollywood Flick Looks. But some of the Ares could have been Better. Back Ground Music was Too Lousy. Sometimes it goes into ears like  Train is passing through your Head. Editing is Superb.  Action Sequences Although look a bit  over ambitious but  are spectacular. Cinematography is Excellent.

                                    Nonw the Best Part of the Movie was…… Guess??? Well it’s not Aamir Khan. It’s Rahul and Himanshu  Nanda,  for H R Enterprise. Surprised?... wel  they were the publicity Designers of the Movie. And lemme tell you no one would have done the marketing like this movie was Promoted in the entire year. Aamir had to come right down  on the Streets and Cut Peoples’ Hair.  How Much you can Bend yaar?.. And Guess What?.. the strategy Worked.   The Movie Got the Biggest Opening anyone could ever imagine. And still doing Business. It has Broken all the Records so far the Box Office returns are concerned.  But Personally I didn’t like the movie that Much.

So.. Three Stars For me. One Star Entirely Goes to H R Enterprise for marketing the Movie. One is For Aamir and the Rest Goes to other technical Crew.

UD…
