Plz, repot to "Must watch movies" thread, already few of our co-members reviewed that movie there.

Even, we're having a big, dirty fight over it for a few days.:rolleyes::cool:

Must watch movies and asking about a single movie is a different thing.It might not be a must watch movie for everyone.:rolleyes:

watch it yeaterday

My Review
Rating : Normal Movie 2.5 out of 5
No worth to spend too much amount of money watching movie in cinemas instead wait a little an watch it on TV or better skip it
90% was Copy from South, better watch any Rajnikanth's Movie (they have much better action)

Too much action
As we all know Aamir has nice 8packs
Story : Aamir is a Billonaire (CEO of some Cell Phone Company) who is suffering from a Disease "Short Term Memory Loss" & Ghajini is Name of Don who killed Aamir GF, Asin is Aamir GF and Jiya Khan is a Doctor who research about Aamir

Weak Point : All fight was manual, not even a single person (Aamir or Ghajini or etc.) used a Gun
They showed Aamir like a Super Man and Don like very poor cheap Street Rat

Don have crores of rupees but dont have more than 8-10 cheap gundas to fight and no one have any gun all fights manually with some sticks or small kniefs

Movie has too senseless action.....

wasted 3-4 hours yesterday watching movie and 5 more min today writing review

@Worried from bugs,jaake muh dhoke aa:D

The movie is worth the money spent. The story is great even if it's ripped off. Action was a bit too unreal,unacceptable. A man gets banged with a 10KG or so weighing metal rod thrice on his head and still survives. Not only that,the man gets a metal rod again in his stomach at the end and still survives. A bit hard to believe. Sound track is awesome,no doubts whatsoever,Aamir acted better than anyone. Overall it's a superhit and the money collection suggests clearly. I recommend everyone to watch this movie.

Completely ripped off from Momento. Momento was some oscar worthy material and this *******s ruined it by putting songs, romantic scenes and worthless action in between. And guess what, this biatches dont even credit Momento leave alone buying the rights! The movie is good for avg. movie watchers (my mom and dad liked it... WTF?!) but for me, its an insult and a disgrace. I had a good deal of respect for Amir Khan after watching his previous movie, Taare Zameen Par but now its all vanished bcoz of this.

This is a very arrogant behavior.
First of all u don't even know the correct name of the english version of the film.
U r bullshitting about a hindi remake which u even didn't see.

And I've not seen the movie and I've never commented that its gr8. I never do it for any movie. My rule is I should first personally see, then only tell if I FOUND it good or bad.

See, if u've watched it then u would have every right going bad-mouth about it. I can't understand what is ur problem with Hindi version of Memento?
Did u had any wish to remake it in hindi when u r old enough??
Anything like that or just because its a HINDI flick, u r angry??

No more fights.... I am outta here. Its your money. Be happy, have a nice time-pass watching the movie. Even though its a rip-off (Cant call it a remake bcoz they have not bought the rights or even acknowledged the original film.), it does contain some elements of the original movie which is good so watch it for that.

I saw it long back, I mean in Tamil, and honestly apart from Surya's acting, I didn't see anything worth in the movie. Felt I better did not watch it, also I didn't like the songs, so artificial and repetitive. So, if I do watch it in Hindi, it would be for Amir and Rahman. Really nice music.

P.S: I also watched Rab Ne Bana De Jodi last week. Can't say a Oscar worth, but did enjoy it in parts. Not too long a movie. No Fanboy I am, you see :D

Ghajini is not Memento

Ghajini is a pure masala flick but unlike others, it has a climax and an actor of the calibre of Aamir. It obviously has taken the base from Memento and the facts on how a person with short term memory loss thrives.But the script is totally different.Memento went forwards back while Ghajini follows a scripted sequence. In memento the protagonist based his life in killing all the Johnny Gs he cold get his hands on, but in ghajini, the villain is the one who is killed.

Aamir was out his world.His expressions were beyond anything i have seen in indian cinem.If Aamir had been in Hollywood, we would have him on the oscar stage more often than not. He was aggresive,he was romantic, he was belligerent, he was like in the song Behka, 6 different people in one. Watch it for Aamir, watch it for the best actor india has produced in recent times.

^LOL Ghajini is much better than RNBDJ. I watched it yesterday. The story is ought to be good coz its inspired by Memento. The parts put in by director/story writter were also good. The comic parts of the film are also very well done and Aamir Khan's acting is also above par. Its not as bad as I was telling.

I will give it 6/10 for the acting, caste and the parts put in by director/story-writer.

Well said...agreed

Just watch this movie for Aamir Khan or may be for Asin too. Asin holds her forte in front of Aamir. She will beat the hell out from the likes of Deepika, Kareena may be Katrina (I have soft corner for her) etc.That last (slow) song of Aamir was brilliantly sung by Rehman. Prasoon Joshi has impressed again with his lyrics.

Its running packed houses here. Even morning shows. Fortunately I got tickets for morning show. It has injected new life into Bollywood.

I've not watched the film but yeh kuch jayda ho gaya na??
Deepika-she can act (more films required to prove further or she may end up like Amisha)
Kareens-She CAN ACT (Jab we Met-just awesome, her one and only film where she did mind blowing acting)
Katrina-She is doll, ya, she is as beautiful as a doll. Means every bit of her is perfect, but she also acts like doll means she CAN'T!!!

It is the best movie of 2008 ( and YES IT IS TRUE).Perfect Screenplay , Acting , Actions etc.If you expect movies like Hulk from hollywood.So what is the harm if some sort of movie is made with actors having such powers.Why do you criticise bollywood?? It is totally Crap to comment on Movie before watching(No offence).I am saying that the person who didn't like the Movie must have been sleeping in the Movie that is why s/he didn't like it!!!(No offence)The movie keeps you on your toes every Moment.I must say it is MUST WATCH and atleast once.Aamir is Absolutely Superb in the Movie.the best acting done by him in his film career .Asin is Superb too although i agree she did become hyper in some scenes.IMO , Asin is better than Deepika , Anushka , Sonam Kapoor(PS:I am talking about newcomers) .

Anyways, My rating is 9/10 .

because in Hulk he is not a normal guy , he has been exposed to something (dont remember now) . the hero solving a problem by just beating up 100 guys just dosent do it for me, the whole movie becomes pointless cause i expect something clever / planned

^^^^ Well they actually used it,right in the basement when Amir goes to hunt the guy thinking him to be Ghajini and as soon as he realises he has made a goof,we hear the Ghajini's guys taking out the guns and shooting left right and centre.
However in the Climax when Ghajini in his very hidehouse is attacked by Amir, surprise same guys seem to be conveniently missing the guns.

To compare i think memento was okay than Ghajini,okay because though it has good surprises springing up,the end was so lame.

ghajini is a just above average movie..i would say its worth watching once but i hae to admit i was looking at my watch more than once..the movie seems to have been dragged to almost 3 hours..wish they had removed the song & dance sequence,takes out the fun man...compared to the tamil version,can't say anything because i never saw the tamil version but compared to Nolan's memento,i would say memento pwns ghajini but one good thing which people would like is ghajini is a simple & uncomplicated movie...memento in some cases sometimes was complicated..i would give it 6/10....& yes jiah khan sucks...someone send her to an acting school...overall its one of the best movies to have come ot in 2008..because there were stupid movies this whole year..movies like singh is king & golmaal returns,i would say ghajini should definitely be nominated... :p :) :D

Surya's acting in tamil movie was the best compared to aamir..And in tamil it was a Masterpiece...But in Hindi movie it was trimmed at many places as "hindi walas dont like one man fight scenes as it is unrealistic compared to tamil who accept it "..And also climax in dis was changed compared to tamil make it acceptable and better than tamil...Anyway it is jus a master piece and also best movie in 2008

lol...I just watched it now :p

Complete entertainment, paisa wasool movie.

Don't expect something of paramount quality. Mediocre background score makes a movie unbearable for me, better do not play that pathetic music in background if you have nothing better to suit the circumstances. Oh...A R Rahmaan's song Kaise Tu Mujhe Mil Gayi was the only decent one I liked.
Ghajini chatacter itself was a very weak and more like a puppet who knows how to blurt words but is too scared to swallow the goo back when it comes to pay back. Oh I actually sympathized with his character...lol.
Basically its a revenge drama for me but at that too it fails miserably. I just couldn't get my expected dose of revenge from this movie. Come on, would you like guys flying around with one whip of Mr. Macho ? Just one shot at the end and thats it...lol...I would have been making some brain ketchup till my 15 minutes memory expires.
Jiah was the biatch ! I so expected her to die but lol this time Mr. Macho saved her from Ghajini...lol
That Fauji scene was the best laugh for me throughout the movie and other. But yeah Amir's know ishtyle of acting too made me grin at some moments (I recalled Andaaz Apna Apna...lol).
Asin is beautiful but I wont say that her acting was awesome. Typically not a single character was given a chance to show his talent. Except Mr. Macho.
There was no thrill or suspense in the movie. I knew it who was the badas$ from the begining. It was like a straight road.
Don't even think about the plagiarism. We all know it is inspired from Memento indirectly. But I was shocked to see a blatant pathetic copying of that escort the blindman to bus stop scene. Those who have seen Amelie will agree with me. Infact the original scene was so moving and juvenile in comparison to this sluggish portrayal with stoned emotions.

One a scale of 10 I will give it a 7.

7/10

Though I have recently seen a decent amount of memorable movies too but too lazy to say anything about them. Gudnite.

as a whole this is worth wathching but not those type of movie we are expecting from Amir Khan... to me its like other average Masala Hindi movie. 6/10

that 7 is in comparison to other crap from Bollywood :D Asin kinda reminded me of Kate Becky...lol...finally we have bolly version of Kate :)

I enjoyed the movie but revenge theme failed for it. Watch Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance to know how a revenge movie disturbs you. Its almost perfect, the way story unfolds. It doesn't stick with a villain but both characters are protagonist in it.
Continuing the Revenge Trilogy, the next one is Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, here the movie is completely different in setting and camera work. Last one to watch is Oldboy, both characters are bad and antagonist in it unlike the first movie in Revenge Trilogy.

Watched it today. Found it decent overall. The best parts of the movie are the scenes between Aamir and Asin and when Aamir is clobbering the bad guys. Aamir's acting was superb, not to mention his physique which almost made him look like Kratos from God of War games. In fact with a physique like that you'd expect Aamir to run around naked (like John Abraham in Dostana) but thankfully it is not overdone and except for a few scenes and a couple of songs Aamir is found fully clothed.

Asin looked really beautiful and acted well too. Jiah Khan was an eye sore, not to mention an uber-biatch and even I wished she would get brutally killed somehow by the end.

The main villan Ghajini was an idiot but I liked his way of killing people when they are lying on the floor. I guess he would be playing Golf a lot.

The songs were too good. The one with the multiple Aamir was done very well and reminded me of Aamir's own Toyota Innova ad. The rest of the movie was pretty average though. Some parts of the movie were downright silly as how the police inspector runs like an idiot away from Aamir instead of fighting him or how a train is filled with Army soldiers and criminals and neither of them know of the other's presence and how one compartment is completely empty with just Asin and one old man in it.

Overall I'd give the movie 3.5/5. It's an above average movie. It's biggest achievement is that it introduced many people (including myself) to Memento which is a superb movie, if a bit confusing.

i watched ghajini & memento both..i found memento a bit boring, slow & confusing at times(since the story ran backwards), but ghajini was entertaining,if you do not look at it logically ,the core story is similar to memento but the story of amir & asin is what makes this movie entertaining..& also the fight scenes were cool although baseless..like the last fight..where amir hits the 1st guy while chasing ghajini...the guys head rotates 180 deg.WTF?? anyway the movie is purely meant for entertainment so i was not thinking much.i give it 3.5/5.

Because, he doesn't understand Memento but Ghajini he does.

Memento is not linear storytelling, if u loose concentrations u r gone.
Ghajini, wel its just like, 1-->2-->3, means in order.
