Ghajini Became The Only Indian Film To Earn One

View:

is a 2008 Bollywoodfilm directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced under the Geetha Arts banner byAllu Aravind. The film is a remake of a Tamil film, of the same name, which wasalso by Muragadoss and starred Surya Sivakumar and Asin. It stars Aamir Khanand bollywood d'butant Asin Thottumkal. Jiah Khan, Pradeep Rawat and Riyaz Khanare essaying supporting roles.

Themovie is an action-thriller, with strong romantic elements, that explores thelife of a rich businessman who suffers from anterograde amnesia following aviolent encounter in which his love interest, model Kalpana was killed. Hetries to avenge the killing with the aid of Polaroid Instant camera photographsand permanent tattoos on his torso. The character of Aamir Khan will alsofeature in a 3-D game titled Ghajini:the game, which is based on the samemovie.

Thefilm is a perfect masala film, a revenge thriller, a genre which was verypopular in the 80s. But what sets the film apart from a typical pot boiler isthe way the screenplay has been structured, oscillating between flashbacks andpresent time. There is also a good balance of romance, suspense, action andcomedy. Plus the biggest asset ? Aamir Khan! The story has two majorflashbacks, but unlike many films where flashbacks do nothing for the filmitself, this one actually aids in building the character and adding intensityto them. Having seen Sanjay's past life, you see reason for his current actions.The film at no point justifies the actions but it does give you reason to gowith the flow.

Apartfrom being one of the biggest films of all times GHAJINI seems to be scoring onthe front of merchandizing as well. While Shah Rukh Khan did not publicize themanner in which he had acquired his six-pack abs as a merchandize, Aamir Khan'sGHAJINI has gone ahead and done it. In one of the first tie-ups India Games hastied up with the trainer of Aamir Khan - Satyajit Chaurasia - and has offeredthe viewers a downloadable five-minute guide through mobiles christened asUltimate workout.

Amongstthe sequences that stand out are Aamir's first encounter with Asin, Aamirvisiting Asin's boss's party, Aamir's outburst in the hospital, Asin's murdersequence and of course the action packed climax where Aamir for a momentforgets what he is fighting for when he comes face to face with the villain!

Inan author backed role, Aamir has outperformed himself, making us fall short ofwords in his praise. He is not only utterly convincing as a killing machine buthe is extremely loveable in the romantic comedy sequences with Asin. Southstarlet Asin in her Bollywood debut leaves a lasting impression. Jiah thoughfits the part somehow pales in comparison to Asin. Her accented Hindiirritates. Pradeep Rawat brings back to Bollywood, the true villain that wasmissing since long time. He is menacingly good.

Asa nation which is caught in the frenzy of GHAJINI hair style, the launch of thebody building guide is sure to set the cash register on fire and would be ableto churn out a whole new crop of health aficionados. Aamir would be doing ayeomen service to the cause of the health, which is indeed an unplannedby-product of GHAJINI being thrown up owing to unique convergence of technologyand marketing acumen facilitated by a generation, which is crazy aboutdownloading everything on to their mobiles.

Murugados?sdirection is terrific and the master story teller that he is, he just doesn?tgive the audience a moment to think even in 180 minutes running time film.Technically it definitely stands amongst the best films of 2008. Superb editing(Anthony), excellent camerawork (Ravi K Chandran) and amazing sound design(Resul) take the film to an altogether different level. The action by PeterHains and Stunt Shiva keeps you on the edge of your seat. But some actionsequences have turned out a bit too gory and not meant for the faint hearted.But with Aamir giving his everything all out in them they end up being a treatto watch. A.R. Rahman's melodies are a treat to watch onscreen having beenexcellently picturised. Also, none of the songs hamper the proceedings.

Bodybuilding as a concept used to be inspired from the images more associated withSylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger but with GHAJINI built-upsavailable in the market, the yearning to do it would have more passion, as theidol to aspire to is seeped in the Indian sensibilities and taking into accountthe Indian ground realities.

Theconcept of memorabilia associated with films was not succeeding earlier may beowing to the fact that it was working in a superficial manner in the sense ofeither releasing dolls, or other images associated with films, but notrevolving around intricate USPs of the films as it has been done in GHAJINI. Inthis sense GHAJINI could indeed turn out to be an interesting case study inmarketing associated with a film.
