Ghajini ...
Over the weekend I went for a Tamil with few of my buddies. The movie was "Ghajini" with Suria acting in the lead. It's an Indian version of the famous English show, "Memento". The director took a very interesting story line an Indianized it to cater for the Indian market. How to Indianize? Pretty simple actually, add unnecessary song sequence throughout the movie, include some unbelievable fight scenes and not to forget, some fat girls dancing sexily, that all is needed.
That aside, how was the movie actually? To me it was not up to my expectation. Having watched "Memento" and liking the movie so much, I had a solid ground to compare "Ghajini" with. I was slightly disappointed with the movie as a whole, but it was not too bad. I felt the song sequence in the movie was totally unnecessary (like in many other Tamil movies) and all it did was to break an otherwise interesting flow of the movie. I personally felt, they could have achieved much2 more if they decided to do away without the songs.
To those of you who would have watched "Memento", u might b tad bit disappointed. "Ghajini" is still a movie worth watching in cinema, just don't compare it to the English version. An Indian attempt which have fallen short.
