Movie Review - Ghajini

It feels good to be writing back after a long long time.
After a long time, to relax, i decided to catch up with Aamir Khan's new offering, the highly anticipated Ghajini.
And he didnt disappointed me at all. His acting in the movie is marvellous. Although the movie does show some stints which depict its south Indian director's roots, so does the lyrics. The movie depicts how the main lead 'Sanjay Singhania' tries to get out of his peculiar 'short term memory loss' and kills the main negetive 'ghajini dharmatma' for all the damage he does to the latter. Although Jiah Khan tries to do her best for the small part she does, she manages to do justice to her role. Newcomer 'Asin' does good to her lead female part, which mainly consisted of being nice and stupid(bore....half the movies have the same lead.....give us some change).
Aamir Khan just dominates throughout the movie. The director A.G.Ramadoss somehow manages to make the movie goood in the end, despite the weak initial minutes of the movie(which made me think twice over my decision to watch the movie). The first half of the movie is quite clumsy for mature cinema, but the second half compensates it. Both the halves of the movie have same number of tracks. The second half gets my thumbs up. Overall, i'd say that the movie is just a pleasure to watch, if you're bored of traditional cinema.
The movie is emotionally appealing on the whole. It portrays the various emotions extremely well, and this reflects how good Mr Ramadoss is at directing the emotions.
At last, i'd say that Aamir gets full marks for his performance, he just lives up the role. This role is somewhat similar to the one in fanaa, except here he's a telecom company's chairman and there he was a terrorist. I'd give the movie a 4 on whole. A must watch for Aamir's fans. He becomes the grand daddy for action roles, move over Shetty, Dutt and Deols.
Hope you people found the same. Do let me know.

Signing off !
