Ghajini :

With the rise of this decade, Our Mr. Perfectionist has raised his bar to such a extent that We dont expect anything less than a must-watch from him. So There is a mild tinge of disappointment at the end of it all.

But then, Aamir Khan is probably the most important reason You'd like to go for it again. Ghajini can be safely called as Aamir's show-reel. He has played this clever trick of going for the schizopheric act required (just like SRK tried a few weeks ago), and has done a simply marvellous job. In his normal self, He is so laid-back in his performance that you never feel he's acting.

And in his tranformed part, He is anything but natural. He hams to the gallery and simply walks away with the show. All he needed was to roar at the top of his voice, and it'd do the magic. But the fact that He actually shouts in a no-holds-barred aura makes his playing-to-the-gallery stuff highly exciting. I bet if anyone could do it as effectively.


Keep him aside, and Your interest in the film would be half as much. However, The director uses his safe style. He narrates the story with such great speed (Editor, take a bow!) that You don't even get a second to notice all those innumerable loopholes. The movie is slick, pacey and helluva entertaining. Yes, There are certain parts where the tone goes overboard or tried to blackmail emotionally. But then, You can trust Aamir to bring it back on path.

Supporting him quite ably is Asin as a whiff of fresh air. One may get annoyed to see her making so many faces in comic scenes. But She simply stuns with her approach in emotional moments post-interval.

For me, The weakest link was the standard Evil guy played quite weakly by Mr. Rawat. He goes for this loud note, and it isnt really impressive.

A.R.Rahman's Music realy stands out on his own, though he isnt anywhere near his best.
The film looks really tacky in many scenes. And How I wish the action in the finale was kept a tad lesser over-the-top. Never mind, One won't get bored and what more can one ask for ??
