Wow! What the #&%@!!! But must say true value for money, after all where on earth would you get to watch two movies for the price of one? Looks like the ‘Buy One Get One’ syndrome has finally caught up with Bollywood too. Well okay let me explain – With the latest Bolly flick ‘GHAJINI’, one gets the feeling that one is actually watching two movies at one go with one being an Aamir-Asin Starred – ‘Ghajini-Fanaa’
and 
the other an Aamir- ‘cannot act’ Jiah Khan 
starred – ‘Ghajini-Gulam’. Yup, I am not kidding, this is exactly what I felt mid-way through the movie as it constantly kept swapping from one plot to another with help of utility characters which were there just to shift the movie from one to the other. It was like I was at a multiplex and kept changing screens to watch two movies at the same time! As once there would be the cute and bubbly Asin romancing Aamir and then very next moment it was the ‘blonde’ Jiah with Aamir! It simply was difficult to keep track of who is who, once the movie started!
And, the man after whom the movie is named – Mr. Ghajini Dharmattma is almost no where to be seen till the climax of this three and a half hour madness (looks like the director thought that the name is enough!).
Oh! And I almost forgot the action part! Well how can I do that? After all the movie is about Sanjay’s revenge for the death of his beloved and surprisingly no one except the hero has any weapons through out the movie and even he has it just for the heck of having one (looks like cost cutting here too..... :-P)! Seriously, action is the most entertaining part of the movie for an instance – when Sanjay punches a goon, he is shown lying flat on his stomach with his head turned 180° (What made it funnier was the fact that Jayee sitting in the next chair, buried her face in her palms and was making creaky noises and kept saying “I can’t watch this any more”).
Definitely one of the worst of Aamir, the movie is a mindless torture even for the kung-fu loving southerners, who enjoy the high flying actions sequences of Allu Arjun and Rajnikanth.
However, there was a good part of the movie that Sarit brought to light later. It was the fact that we watched the movie at a theatre which was next to our place and so we could just quietly slip in to our rooms once the mindless torture was over and we didn’t have to take a bus home after the movie at 1.30 a.m. in the night.
Mani’s Recommendations for:
People looking for entertainment: Don’t watch it!
People looking for Value for money: Can try it (u get two movies for the price of one)
People looking for Comic action: May try it!
People wanting mindless gross comedy and action: It’s a MUST watch!
