Movie Review Ghajini

I am keeping this review very small, since my friend Sameer has already written a very nice review of it. (http://sameertikoo.blogspot.com).

As my friend has written Ghajini is a convoluted love story.
However i dont think the screenplay or the narrative of the movie is weak. It is the story itself which has altogether NO substance.

For me Ghajini is a very ordinary movie and its success is mainly due to the following three reasons :

-1. Aamir Khan's very suave performance.
He looks really cool as Sanjay Singhania. He dances like a young boy and romances like a charmer! He even shows a lot of penchant, while he kills.

-2. A very well paced script which does not let the movie drag.
Even though it is reminicent of skull breaking movies like Shiva and other Chiranjeevi movies, it never drags and keeps the audiances awake.

-3. And most importantly, since it is an Aamir Khan movie, people are sacred to openly call it an ordinary, since they don't want to sound stupid because "how can Aamir Khan movie be ordinary!"
Plus an amazing amount of publicity done for crores of rupees it has collected in record time, is ing enough for people to believe that it might actually be a good movie.

All in all, Ghajini, is a very ordinary paisa wasool, no brainer movie, far far below the standards, Aamir Khan has set for himself.
