What a load of crap is what you should say when you watch Ghajini. But, you would think twice and do not let that word come out. “May be that I might have gone wrong”. If it is so bad would it attract so much attention and collect such a heap of money in its opening week. The marketing blitzkrieg that preceded the movie release subconsciously makes you think so. Here are tit bits of thoughts that are making rounds in my mind when I was watching the movie.
Ghajini is not the name of the hero. Not even a positive character in the movie. It’s the name of the villain. What is the point in naming the movie after the most crooked guy in the movie? And which parents will name their son Ghajini. Somehow his parents knew this guy when he grows up is going to scare the pants off the people and make a name for him by killing and looting people. And our villain lives up to his name not letting them down. He is also very passionate about his work. When he kills someone, he observes them making sure they are suffering. If he is killing someone before their beloved ones, he makes arrangements for them to see the proceedings and cry. If he doubts someone that they are a threat to his business and life, he makes arrangements for their travel to the eternal world. Despite living in the metropolis of Mumbai and having seen the mafia and their sophisticated tools, he still dresses like a factionist in Telugu movies, shouts like villain in Tamil movies and uses unused iron spares of vehicles to kill people.
These days, the lead pair in bollywood will straight go to bed when they realise they might fall in love. The days of the declaring their love, never touching each other, crying for each other and dying before they realise who their love interest are long gone. People on a diet of Imran Hashmi kind of movies might find this movie really irritating. How can you expect the lead pair never even touch each other?
Kalpana (Asin) the female lead in the movie is a real dumb girl. Amir, who runs a company of the stature of Airtel and roams around in couple of same brand same coloured foreign cars filled with assistants of foreign origin making sure everyone takes notice of him, is head-over-heels about Kalpana and she hardly knows who he is. She needs to work on her general knowledge. Such a dumb girl she again turns sharp minded and adventurous when such a requirement comes up in the movie. Not just Kalpana, even the ad agency she works for is good for nothing. No one saw Amir till he himself arrives for the New Year party.
You might get shocked to know that the back ground score is actually by A R Rehman. Do not let the golden globe guys listen to this background score.
