    Much more than just a Bollywood version of ?Memento?, it offers a much more in depth background story which builds nicely to a revenge plot. The occasionally songs throughout the film were entertaining and fit well as do the soundtrack songs.

    The flashing back and forth in ti...( read more)me provided a good order in which to tell the story and is much different to ?Memento? in that respect also.

    Aamir Khan played a an impressive lead role here, with a quite a transformation in character, who with a very athletic physique, provides some enjoyable fight scenes and moves.

    Lengthly, but a very enjoyable watch and has instantly become part of my favourite films list.

    It is a great movie. The expressions and act by Aamir is great. I cried at the end of the movie for the love story, and the condition of the hero.

    Ghajini is pretty much a remake of the film "Momento" but this is one well made Bollywood remake instead of a rehash. I personally enjoyed the first half hr and last half hr. There is a very good attempt here to finally have the editing style and raw fighting sequences that are c...( read more)omparable to Hollywood films. Some bad attempts come to mind are Kaante and Dhoom 2. Although this film is not perfect either. It falters when Sanjay's backstory is told and your typical Bollywood storyline comes in to play. There is a lot, I mean a lot of scenes and songs that could have been cut out, bring the movie down to a solid 2 hrs. I would've liked it much better. The one thing that stands out above all is Aamir Khan's presence and performance. I am giving this film four stars because of Aamir. For the first time it seems that a Bollywood actor has built his body because the character required it instead of merely showing off. I couldv'e easiy seen Salman Khan taking his shirt off when it was unnecessary if he was doing this role. In fact, in the ending Aamir has no reason to take off his shirt and he never does. In the hands of another egotistical actor he would've overruled the directors wishes and taken his shirt off to give the audience one final gawk at his rippling pecs. Nope not here. Besides his amazing transformation Aamir's performance is one of the best Ive seen in Hindi cinema to date. In every scene one can sense his pain, anger and confusion and he brings out minute nuances of his character. It is nothing short of inspiring and spectacular. He is known for his method acting and it certainly shows here. Instead of relying on tried and true methods of acting and what the audience responds to and doing them over and over in every movie (see shah rukh khan), Aamir is present in the moment feeling every emotion and letting the audience decide what the character is going through. Aamir is by far the best actor in Bollywood and he once again delivers! If anything else, watch the movie for his performance.
