Movie Review: GHAJINI

So here’s my first movie blog:

GHAJINI

Star cast : Amir Khan, Asin Thottumkal, Jia Khan, Pradeep Rawat
Director: A.R. Murugadoss
Music : A.R. Rahman
Genre: Action, Thriller


Waiting for the much hyped movie “GHAJINI” starring Amir Khan, Asin Thottumkal and Jia Khan, is a block-buster hit at box-office. Amir Khan, a perfectionist never disappionts his fans with the expectations they carry to watch his film and this time he gives them his best, a never ever seen before performance.


The movie is about a business tycoon Sanjay Singhania(Amir) chairman of Air-voice telecom company, who returns to India and falls in love with Kalpana(Asin) a model in tele ad-films, under weird circumstances. Sanjay goes out on a business trip and kalpana risks her life by saving few girls from criminals and ruins the plan of Ghajini(Pradeep Rawat), criminal involved in illegal activities. When Sanjay returns, ghajini brutally murder Kalpana infront of him while sanjay gets injured on his head. This leads to mental disorder anterograde amnesia. Sanjay suffers from short term memory. He cannot remember anything beyond 15mins. Sunita (Jia Khan) a medical student, studies the case of Sanjay and tries to unravel his mysteries and past life and helps him take his revenge and kill Ghajini and rest of the tale is how he battles and takes revenge.

VERDICT : After watching the movie my first reaction WOW.. Its Amir movie, so it has to be the best. I would say the best performance i have ever seen till date. With every scene theres so much happening, that you look at ur watch to realize 3hrs have breezed away. The movie is so hard-hitting and complete in itself. The first half of the movie has both shades of comedy, romance and thrill and second half of movie is full of action and suspense that takes ur breathe away for a while. The evil persona of amir hold on to your nerves till the end. The chemistry b/w Amir and asin adds right amount of emotional depth to the screen play. The body work done by amir is awesum and the dedication with which he enacts the role, looks as if hes truly living the role. Amir with deep scars, frame filling physique- a look never seen before. He has projected himself as a hardcore killer, mentally disturbed, gripping each and every breath of the viewer and doing full justice to the role. Jia Khan, an upcoming star impresses with her performance. Music given by A.R Rahman is good. I specially like the soundtracks: Kaise Mujhe, Guzarish and Behka. The cinematography of these songs and over all movie is also great. The action sequences are executed quite brilliantly. A.R Murugadoss has directed the film with an expertise making it different from rest of the action thriller films. An amazing film full of comedy, romance, action, thrill, emotions... Ghajini has got everything. So those who havent watched the film, just leave everything and watch the film..


Rating : 4.0 / 5.0

A Tribute to MARTYRS

We salute to all those officers of NSG, Army and Navy and to those people who lost and risked thier lives during this terror attack. These people came in here as determined Indians and gave us the privilege today of being proud nationals. We all are proud of these people and Jawans who laid down their lives battling terrorists and pay tribute to them. A 2 mins prayer (atleast we can do this) for the ones who've suffered... and for the ones who have been left behind to suffer even more....  
We Salute You!
Jai Hind!

                                                        .

We are INDIANS


Hello everyone..
I am writing this blog to express grief and sorrow for what happened in Mumbai on 26th November. I was sitting in my hostel room & suddenly around midnight I heard the news of Mumbai blasts and when I saw it on the net I was stunned and traumatized. Every time I watched the video my heart sank. was feeling very low and depressed. by each millisecond the situation was getting worse and worse. death toll was rising every minute intensifying the refrained rage and anger of so many years. just by imagining of those people confronting with this, i quivered with terror. The next three days were very sickening and appalling, watching news, bulletins, and videos saddened me more....



There is a phrase " JO HOTA HAI ACHE KE LIYE HOTA HAI" A wakeup call was needed for the whole nation. I remember a dialogue from Rang De Basanti-"Bahro ko dhamake ki zarurat hoti hai". It’s now or never.




What we see today in the newspapers is the consequence of the terror attack: candlelight vigils, SMSes reflecting the anger at the inept government, people sloganeering, carrying out demonstrations. Twenty thousand people gathered at gateway of India expressing their annoyance and ire in response to the vicious attack. The intensity of the outrage led to the politicians losing their jobs in matter of days. We all have realized that either we follow gandhigiri: forgive and forget or we become the change we want to see. Either we allow the terrorists to molest India time and again or we stand up and take action. A change from “why do I bother attitude” is needed or we have to get use to these assaults. But the question here is how long this wrath going to last? Is this an end or a beginning? Are people going to forget it and wait for another 26/11 to happen? Is our political system going to transform? When are we going to learn from our mistakes?



As the time passes the wounds will heal, this attack will be overlooked and we will move on.. This is what we have been doing for years.. But now we have to stop and look into the matter and find a solution. Politicians have to stop the blame games and anger and hatred need to be channelized in a positive and right direction. The politics is no long a business venture it’s the noble service that require concern and dedication. We dont need their assertions or condolences or sympathies, we demand action. India has seen one of its fiercest terror attacks. Terrorists delivered their message that "ab hum tumhare ghar mein ghuske tumhe marenge". It’s time to show those bastards what we INDIANS are capable of.. and if these politicians can’t do something for the country then they should better resign and sit back in their comfortable couches of their official residence.. The attack has brought us closer and we stand more united than ever, united in love and support to each other. we are neither north indian or south indian neither muslim, hindu, sikh or christian. We are Indians. In this hour of crisis we need to stand together and let the rays of hope live in our heart. "Every cloud has a silver lining"............
