Ghajini Movie Download

Aamir Khan suffers from short-term memory loss in Ghajini, a cerebral disorder by which his memory lasts only for 15 minutes. Seemingly director A R Murgadoss suffered from the same while deriving from Memento, for he seems to have retained only about 15% of the original masterpiece and fabricated the rest as per his formulaic sensibilities.

So while you still have the Polaroid camera, post it notes and a tattooed body from Memento, the nonlinear narrative and conspiracy theory is compromised for a prolonged romance track and exaggerated revenge drama. Sadly gimmicks like 8-pack abs or trimmed hairline can’t cover up loopholes of a flawed script.

Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan) has been hit on the head which gives him recurring bouts of amnesia, almost every fifteen minutes. He is hunting for a person named Ghajini (Pradeep Rawat), and to remember his target, he has inscribed his initials and related clues on his body, has pasted post-it notes all across his apartment and carries a Polaroid camera to click pictures of people important to him.

An investigating officer gets hold of his daily diary that gives a background account of his character. Sanjay is an affluent industrialist and falls in love with a girl named Kalpana (Asin). The diary changes hands from the inspector to a medical student (Jiah Khan) but the flashback account continues to stretch from the first half to the second with a long-drawn-out love story between the two. With ample song-dance-romance, the story is Indianized but that’s the only redeeming factor for the director fails to exploit the psychological side of the story.

Don’t cry a spoiler when I say that Ghajini killed Kalpana since that is awfully obvious from the very start with the tattoos on Sanjay’s body and his quest to kill Ghajini. And if you still expect a twist in the tale for some suspenseful impact, be prepared to know that this one just ends up being a regular revenge drama. The action sequence in the climax is shamelessly stretched, as long as Sanjay can sustain his memory, for fifteen literal minutes.

At its core, Ghajini is essentially a romance track culminating into a revenge drama. Only externally it is sewed up with the memory loss syndrome which could have been the highlight. And even the memory loss isn’t sensibly justified in the script. The major flaw of the film is how Sanjay remembers Ghajini’s sidekicks and traces them from nowhere. Almost every scene seems to have been written to cover up the earlier penned scene.

The length could surely have been trimmed for the extra runtime doesn’t add to the conviction like in a Lagaan or a Jodhaa Akbar. A R Rahman’s music is melodious and songs are choreographed with typical South Indian flamboyancy. Strangely the background theme piece sounds like Sare Jahan Se Acha.

Aamir is not bad but one expects more from the actor than Rajnikant style amplified-action sequences or anger bouts reminiscent of a hysterical Kamal Hassan from Abhay. Asin is pleasing and Jiah Khan is decent. Pradeep Rawat hams in the title role.
