I saw Ghajini yesterday. Thankfully, my expectations were quite low. So, in that sense, it did not disappoint.
Some thoughts on the movie:
1.You never know when life takes a U-turn: One incident in your life can change it forever. The transition of Sanjay Singhania, the suave businessman to maniac serial killer was probably a filmi exaggeration but in real life too, i have seen some cases where an incident has scarred people for life. It takes tremendous will power and courage to get on with life in such cases.
2. Poor character sketches of Asin and Jiah Khan: First, Asin- How can someone be so sensitive and immature at the same time? What was all that animated talk? chatar chatar patar patar... very annoying to say the least! One doesnt encounter such overenthusiastic, over bubbly people in real life. Jiah Khan's character was too dumb and impulsive for a 3rd year medical student.
3. Songs: Songs have been randomly plugged in, especially the Bachhu song
4. Mental illnesses are scary- One can live with a broken limb or one eye but to lose your mental faculty is sad!
At the end of the day, though it qualifies as a hatke movie, it still qualifies as those types where you leave your brains at home when you go for the movie (the 5 lakh ka cheque unexplained etc)
Our Bollywood directors really have to think through their movies and take care of logical, glaring flaws! And Aamir, I though you ghost directed your movies. What happened this time? Did working on those eight pack abs (nice!) take all your time and energy?

Too many thoughts Ankita! Why didnt you leave your brains behind? Ghajini is easily one of worst movies I have ever seen.One of the industry wallahs told me yesterday that it is slated to be the biggest HIT ever and will do business of more than 230 cr. So much for recession! So Mr. Aamir Khan is laughing away - he will make the money and get awards! The money he will accept. The awards he wont!;)
Hey Ankita. Krishna here. Heard you got a blog so just zoomed in here. Have read most of the posts. Really neat stuff. Hope we can meet up soon. Would love to meet you guys and see Fountainhead as it was always meant to be. You guys are dreamers so keep on truckin'.
hello. i just stumbled on your blog. i like it, but actually i like what you're doing much more. specially since i thought all IIM grads ither want to join Levers or PWC: )
as for ghajini, well, all i can say is beware of medical students. they'll raid your house, steal your diaries and then snoop on the rest of your life. really. i watched it on a pirated DVd (yup, i have no scruples), so i could sit through it without wanting to slap someone.
