dangermousieI posted some time ago that I wasn't veru impressed with the beginning of Ghajini, the biggest Bolly flick of last year.
Well - I have to eat my words. I am about an hour in and am madly madly in love. I can even pinpoint the exact moment the movie went from "I like the way it's shot but so what" to "OMG!!!" - it's when Aamir saw Asin help those children get into a museum and smiled. It's like a lightbulb turned on and I was madly in love (though I liked it as soon as it went into flashback).
I am adoring it so far - Aamir and Asin have great chemistry together and I find both her character (spunky and fun - no wonder Aamir is smitten) and the whole situation of her not knowing who he is and essentially hiring him to play himself utterly adorable. He is so amused and smitten by her - you can see it in every moment they have together. In fact, I am rather dreading what I know will happen.
OK, what is Ghajini? It's loosely inspired by Memento - about a man (Aamir Khan) who lost his abilities to form long-term memories but is driven by the need to avenge the death of the woman he loved (Asin). We start in the present and then go into a very long flashback (I think at least half the movie) of what got him to this state. Mmmmm. So good.
Here is a spoilery MV:
