Ghajini is an out and out revenge saga But there is a slight twist to the tale. The director has very cleverly tried to mix the revenge story with a soft romance between the two protagonists, Sanjay Singhaniaplayed by Aamir Khan and Kalpana played by Asin.
Sanjay is a very flourishing business tycoon. One day, in order to promote his venture, he decides to display a board on Kalpana's roof top. But Kalpana doesent allow it to be done. But her commercial director overhears the conversation and presumes that Asin has refused Sanjay's love offer. Here comes the romantic touch. He pursuades her to accept the offer and slowly romance blossoms between Kalpana and Sanjay. But all of a sudden Kalpana is muddered. The violent murder of his girlfriend sets off an acute short term memory loss in Sanjay. But he fights with the circumstances. He works around the handicap to reach her murderers is the rest of the story.

Hindi movies have often depicted people suffering from memory loss, but in Ghajini the protagonist recalls events only for 15 minutes. And the manner in which he works to regain his memory has been depicted meticulously and very differently. He keeps writing the time, name and dates of clues about the killers as when he remembers them. He also carries a Polaroid to keep him updated in case he forgets.
Performance wise, this is completely an Aamir Khan movie. He has done a brilliant job as usual. He hardly talks. It's his facial expressions and body language that do all the talking. His leading lady Asin has put up a sterling performance, so has the villain, Pradeep Singh Rawat. Ravi Chandran's cinematography is excellent and AR Rahman's music is top-notch.

The film is three hours long and each scene of the film is so gripping that never once do we feel bored. The story has been told in such a novel way with so many twists and turns that it keeps the audiences on the edge of their seats guessing what up next. Director AR Murugadoss has tried to de-route Ghajini when compared to the Tamil version. The climax is different from the original. He cleverly weaves in the past and the present.
All in all Ghajini is a refreshing change. The film does not have a happy ending as both lovers do not get united in the end. Although this concept has never been approved by the Indian audiences, but Ghajini is sure to change that for the sheer brilliance of the movie. To sum up, Ghajini has everything to turn it a blockbuster hit.
