Ghajini - Real action movie. Review on Ghajini (2008)

Whenever someone comes up with a realistic movie, People cries for the entertainment and whenever someone with a truly entertaining movie people make noise of reality. Anyways I can just say one line of some poet -

"Kahan kisi ke liye hai mumkin sabke liye ik sa hona"

In my opinion, Ghajini is what an action movie should be. I dont tag Suniel Shetty and Sunny Deol movies as action movie(they are all crap on the name of action). I can name some of the best Bollywood action movies so far and Ghajini is one of them. the others include Ghayal, Ghatak(best of sunny deol, credit - Rajkumar Santoshi), Agnipath(The best of Amitabh Bachchan).and wait.wait.wait.who can forget immortal Sholey. Not praising Ghijini blindely.ofcousre it has some flaws but all in all its a very good entertaining movie.

The good things - First thing first.Amir.Amir and Amir. Man, He is a gift to Indian Film Industry. whatevere good impact movie puts on you, its 75% is just because of this guy. Who could imagin him as an action hero in his early days but he has proved himself with amazing Sarfarosh and entertaining Ghajini. He is so convincing in the role of a killer with his animal instincts. Hats of to the talent. He is the second Kamal Hassan in terms of playing a character with his soul. Kamal changes his physical appearance for the character he is playing(remember Hindustani when he'd changed his voice or Chachi 420 or Appu Raja or velu Nayakan.) and now same is with Amir.they are artists in real sense. An answer to the people who praise Chora, johar movies with keep mind at home attitude, this is the definition of entertainment, just dont bother about reality just watch this exceptionally powerfull character beating the goons with logically put sequences.

I would like to mention the scene where he beats the cop inside his home he jumps over him on a table.a monstor seriously.naazuk logon ka dil baith jata hai(reference - my wife:).we clearly feel his increasing anger throughout the movie and the climax where it is on peak and he is completely overshadowed by the animal inside him.A lot to say about Amir but I would take a break here only with a salute to his performance.

now the other good things - Asin, A simple girl, not so beautiful when you first time see her. As the movie progresses you start getting involved in the charm of her character and end up with a snap of her fixed on your mind for next few days. She has portrayed the character very well. Impressive performance.

Music - Well.The name says all.A R Rahman, the other name of music. This man deeply understands the mood of a story and create the music as if the story itself has created it. He sounds diffrent in each of his movie. I would like to mention Yuvvraaj with heart touching melody(though a nighmare to watch), Jaane tu. with its light tunes and most recently "Slumdog Millionair" .beyond the words. He has created some catchy but complex tunes(musicians cn know the complexity when they try to play them). Guzarish is already very populer but my favourite is Kaise Mujhe. a very complex but melodious tune the flow of tune is as obvious as it is flowing on it's own. the saxophone piece of guzarish humming in'Bahaka' song's interlude is killing. Well I am going too deep into music review, let's come to the movie again.

Backgound score - Simply amazing.Rahman is undoubtedly the best background music creator today. He lift up the feel of a scene to heavenly level. It is the maximum possible level, no one can do better than that. The fear he creates with the music as well as the silence.Great.

Now come to the flaws -

The weakest part of the movie is the villain.He doesnt live it up the level to name the movie on his name. I dont remember the name of the actor who has played Ghajini but I remember him as "Ashwatthama" in B R Chopra's Mahabharat. He could not create the terror which was the demand of the character.

Direction is mediocre.not so good but not bad either. He has simply told the tale leaving all the extraordinary task to Amir Khan. Still good enough.

Just one thing though not worth mentioning but on a lighter note we can think that when in a parking lot Amir is beating a goon all the others open fire at him but in the climax when he has reached at his own place not a single man is having a gun, all are searching for Lathis and rods.may be its their love for these things or may be they are of'Swadeshi Vichardhara'. But we can avoid this for a fabulous action movie watch.

All in all its a must watch movie. I am a person who can not bear with a bad movie, I come out of theater if it is so irritating.but this is the movie I can watch again.
