Ghajini is the remake of the 2005 Kollywood Super Hit movie by the same name which had Surya in the lead role. The movie almost the same except a variation in the climax and the change of name from Sanjay Ramaswamy to Sanjay Singhania.

Sanjay Singhania is a business tycoon, who has very recently come down to India. Due to certain weird circumstances, he falls in love with Kalpana (Asin), a sweet lovable girl with a heart of gold. While Sanjay is on a business trip, Kalpana in an attempt to save girls from some dreaded criminals puts her life at risk. On the day of Sanjay’s return, Kalpana is killed by Ghajini while Sanjay is injured on his head. This leads to a mental disorder called anterograde amnesia. Sanjay suffers from short term memory loss; he forgets everything in 15 mins! His only goal though is to kill Ghajini, how he battles against all odds is what forms the rest of the tale.

Ghajini is a straightforward, no nonsense, violent, revenge drama about one man’s search for his girlfriend’s killer.

For Aamir, Ghajini is a 360 degree turn from the sensitive teacher he played in Taare Zameen Par. With a buffed up, eight-pack body, here he is a brutal killer in a murderous rage. Watch him as he explodes with grief and then just as quickly forgets it. It’s a memorable performance indeed. It indeed makes you compare his acting with Surya’s performance. I would say both were brilliant.

Ghajini’s strength lies in its gripping screenplay. As the plot unfolds and you find out more about Sanjay’s story, there is little time for the viewer to think. The raw action sequences are amongst the finest you will see in a long, long time. Watching Aamir’s character grapple with his 15 minute memory span makes for an engaging watch.

Hats off to A.R.Murugadoss for reproducing the Tamil hit with as much excitement and grip. If not for him the movie wouldn’t have come so far.
