Ghajini - My review


Why is the Movie named Ghajini?

Probably the movie was trying to hit theatres many times and the release date was rescheduled or Probably after the release I had to try half a dozen times to get a ticket. Whatever be the reason, Ghajini has won the race. The timing of the movie is also perfect. Ghajini is poised to run into full packed houses till Diwali (or even after that).
Murugadoss is back with his hitech team, a strong Screenplay wonderfully presented to the audience.
Suriya is getting better and better... Now we can crib less about Kollywood not having handsome heroes like Bollywood. Full marks to him. His body language is perfect as Biz Tycoon, Passionate Lover and as a man waiting to take revenge despite his short term memory loss.
Oh was that Asin? Well yes it is. She has done her part well. Cute Great expressions. Asin is getting well settled in Tamil Industry.
BGM is good except for certain jarring beats in few places. Harris Jayaraj' Suttum Vizhi and Oru Maalai will be remembered. R.D.Rajeshekar has done the talking with his camera and Antony's editing has made the presentation even better.
Few Questions remain Unanswered...
1) Why Asin never tried to trace who the real Sanjay was even after the interview to a news weekly? Or an Ad film director does not know such a popular Biz Tycoon...
2) Whats the role of Police in the whole movie (except for decoding a Ten Digit Number as Cell Phone Number)
3) What was the necessity for a dual Villain when the first one himself was not doing much work but for Shouting....
Kudos to the director for presenting a wonderful Romance Track in the middle of the action thriller.
If Murugadoss had spent some time in explaining how Sanjay recovered and the hardships faced by him in getting into a routine, probably Ghajini would have been a fitting title.
