Ghajini

I saw the movie Ghanjini in a near seedy movie theatre in Hyderabad. For a seedy theatre the security was great, well I presume. The pan chewing ticket checker had to don the role of a bomb checker as well (recession you see). He tried hard to not spil the pan which flooded and filled his mouth so his mouth was shaped liked the hull of a ship as he checked everything. He asked me to switch of my cell phone also.
Forget about the initial stunts. Coming to the movie. I had seen the Tamizh version of the movie twice in the theatres. I have never had the opinion that it was a great movie. To be honest I went to the movie to watch Aamir Khan. Unfortunately it was what I did not want to watch (Asin, Jiah Khan and their gang) got more screen presence than the great Khan. Asin kept screeching her dialogues, Jiah Khan always has this perplexed look on her face. The villain - Ghajini Dharmatma ( I felt like laughing like the Joker does for his introduction in The Dark Knight when I heard the name ) looks like the smiley which tells us that the guy at the other end is angry. He does a good job of maintaing that till the end - of course barring the times when he is with the ladies.
Well, the story is simple - the heroine is killed and the hero seeks revenge for it. But hey theres a catch - the hero keeps forgetting what happens after every 15 minutes.
That sounds like 'Memento' which is an undoubted classic. But the directors have done a good job by just using those parts which would suit the great Indian Movie goers taste. All said and done it is fast paced but a huge yawn nonetheless.
