Ghajini


The movie started an hour late but I was quite looking forward to watching a Tamil movie in a movie hall after almost 18 months, so I didn't mind it that much.
Now the story - even though no evidence_he takes revenge_all for one reason_love (No, I did not make that up; thats from the trailer).

Okay, I did not like the movie. I thought it was kind_of_stupid. The direction was unremarkable. Asin acted really well and Suriya was good too but Nayantara and the villains were annoying.

Whats up with Harris Jayaraj and the high-pitched humming along with stupid nonsensical words ? oh-moho-ziya waa-hi-aala sounded good in Kaakha kaakha but in this movie, he totally overdoes it with zolo, bozo, mahiya , and other unintelligible words and it gets on your nerves after a few seconds. The director, Murugadoss, does not seem to have ever heard of the word subtlety or what it means. There are some hilarious sequences where people state the most obvious things (like "the door is open, she must have gone this way" or the "thats a 10 digit number, it must be a cell phone number"). Nayantara seriously needs to shed LOTS of pounds or in the very least stop wearing clothes which make her look like a cow. And what was the whole deal with the twin vilains? It was totally stupid and unnecessary. 4/10.
