Ghajini
At last one of the most eagerly expected movies of the year has finally made it to the screens after a hell lot of delays. AR Murgadoss after proving his dexterity in “Ramana” proves again in “Ghajini” that he is no run of the mill guy. He has crafted a deft, taut thriller in “ghajini” and has lived up to the expectations of the viewers. With “Chandramuki” and “anniyan” being classified as psychological thrillers, this too falls into the same category but is different with its own style and structure.
Sanjay Ramsamy (Surya) suffers from short term memory loss after being hit on the head with an iron bar. HE is not able to store anything in his mind for more than 15 mins. How he follows his daily routine is brought out in a lurid way. He has only one mission in life and that is to find out the man behind his condition and who is also the killer of his lover, Kalpana (Asin). He implements awesome techniques like tattooing to keep track of his requirements. Whenever he is on the hunt, he keeps himself well equipped with electronic gadgets like camera and digital alarm. He misses his target several times by nailing the wrong persons. Consequently the villain (Pratap rawat) is baffled at all these happenings and in turn he tries to discover who is behind this. Meanwhile a cop (riyaz) investigates the murders and finds out that sanjay is the wanted guy. He ransacks his house to find valuable evidence against him and through this he gets hold of Sanjay’s diary. It is revealed in the diary that sanjay is a rich business tycoon and tells of his attraction to the model Kalpana and their friendship blossoming into love. His memoirs are then again narrated when Nayantara, a medical student interested in sanjay’s peculiar case, finds his other diary where he continues his relationship with Kalpana. On further examination Nayanthara and Co learn that Kalpana was brutally murdered and Sanjay badly injured in the incident. So she provides vital assistance to Sanjay to help him nab his man. How Sanjay with all his disabilities tracks down his villain forms the crux of the story.
Surya after a comic role in “Mayaavi” has put forward a marvelous performance in two completely different avatars. We can notice a sharp contrast between the businessman surya and the patient affected surya. The scene where he is flabbergasted to find that the man he is tracking is twins clearly indicates his potent acting caliber. Surprisingly the limelight is also shared by Asin. The scenes in which she plays pranks with her ad director and co artistes are cute. Even her comic encounters with surya not knowing that he is the real sanjay were also hilarious. She has really got a great future in kollywood and she has proved this with only 3 films in her bag. As for Nayantara she is the weak point of the movie. Who the hell suggested her to wear modern clothes??????? She looks damn fat and flabby and the “X Machi” song in which she happily exposes her navel is so disgusting. Pratap Rawat could have acted more human. Why is he portrayed like an animal????? I really don’t get it.
The music is mediocre. “SUTTRUM VIZI” and “oru malai” are worth hearing. The climax action scene is worth noting. It has been shot in an exquisite manner with the camera rotating appropriately at various instances. Overall sanjay may not remember anything after 15 mins but this movie will be afresh in our minds for more than 15 years or even longer than that.
