Ghajini - Someone tell Aamir, he's not Atlas!!!


Ghajini....much talked about, much pulled down, much marketed and much publicized..its a movie that can't carry its own hype. Aamir Khan tried to pull of a movie by carrying it on his shoulders and his alone. Given - his performance is stellar, perfect like a well carved diamond. The body language, the transformation of characters. From the sweet millionaire to the scorned, wounded lover seeking revenge. He had anger seeping out of his very pores...his portrayal of confusion made your heart go out to the poor man. The script was good, not fantastic, just good. But really, someone tell him he's not 'Atlas' himself and he can't carry a whooooollleee film on his shoulders and his alone. He needs good actors around him, he needs good songwriters, good music directors, good lighting, good camera. Frankly, besides him, there was nothing else that was good about the film. Perhaps he should've spent some of those marketing bucks on the production instead and he could have had a good movie. Someone tell him....before he tries another time!!

Well, if you ask me, it felt like I was watching a Sunny Deol movie minus the "Dhai Kilo ka Haath" dialog... although it is very well made... it is not a movie for the classes, or even the classy masses... it is a movie for the masses...

For me, I would put this movie in the same category as Ghatak... the last Sunny Deol movie I ever enjoyed... heart-wrenching and idiotic at the same time...
