Storyline

Medical student, Sunita, is driven by curiosity to study the case of Sanjay Singhania, who is afflicted with short-term memory loss. She runs into him, befriends him, and finds out that he is out to kill a seemingly benevolent citizen, Ghajini Dharmatma. After warning the latter of the impending danger, she subsequently comes across a number of diaries written by Sanjay and attempts to put together a jigsaw puzzle as to how a successful and wealthy businessman became a crazed recluse, who re-lives his past through tattoos on his body, notes and Polaroid photographs on the wall of his Hiranandani Complex flat, and his sole obsession of carrying out his deadly mission - little knowing that Ghajini and his goons are out to erase every bit of evidence he has gathered and thus ensure that he ends up remembering nothing.

A Must See Aamir Khan Movie ....!
25 December 2008 | by – See all my reviews

After a dull period of bollywood movies, Ghajini can be described in just one word, AMAZING ! Right from the word GO, this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat . Everything from the Script, The Direction,The Action and The music to the Performances Win your heart ! The action scenes are well captured and the choreography is a job well done by Ahmed Khan. Though it is 3 hrs long not once you end up feeling bored . Moreover, the telling of the movie is done well wit back and forth time travelling... Of the performances, Aamir towers above the rest wit his 'short term memory loss' , Asin matches head to head wit aamir for a debutant and jiah proves that she is not just a damsel . The villain though could have been Better . But the real question left to be answered is Ghajini worth the hype ? Indeed it is my friends... All in all a great movie wit all the ingredients required to make a movie A BLOCKBUSTER ..... A must see...!
