I saw this movie with great expectations and hope that Mr.Perfectionist a.k.a Aamir Khan would turn this desi adaptation of a wonderful psychological thriller called Memento into some thing ecstatic. Sadly, the movie is neither thrilling nor captivating. Aamir Khan looks more like a cross between the angry-teeth baring-eye balling-taaarikh guy (Sunny Deol) and a blood covered Sharukh Khan from kkkkkiran or Darrrrrrrrrr.
This movie is fast. So fast that that it never lets you think during the movie. The painful point is that, because of the use of this technique called "Assume the Viewers have no brains", I was left with a million questions. How does Singhania remember to change his clothes everyday (he wears a new jacket everyday, that must mean he remembers what he wore the previous day)? How is it that someone sooo powerful and rich (richer than the ambanis put together, in film) has never been seen by the outside world? Why is Jiah Khan a psychologist!! What is a cheap B Grade mallu villain doing in the movie!!
The movie has a few comic moments. Sadly, most of the comic moments are when the name of the villain is shown. Ghajini Dharmatman or was it something like Bhishm Pithamah or Mahaveer Shaktiman or was it Complan Boy, oops I forgot, I forgot what I was thinking a few minutes back. Hey What was the name of the movie again?
And then Asin. The mallu beauty from Cochin who has acted in numerous brainless flicks in Tamil (For non tamilians, she acted in the Tamil Ghajini as well). Are we to hate the sinner and love "Asin". Guess, she got carried away by the fact that she is getting to debut with AAAAmir Khan. She can act, she can speak good hindi (without the Lola Kutty accent), she can dance and she does look good. Sadly, she cannot save the movie. The movie is more about Aamir's 8 pack and his memory loss right?
What was the name of the movie again????????????????????
