What a crowd? Don’t remember when I saw such a crowd for a Hindi movie (in Chennai). If the crowd for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was big, then the crowd for Ghajini was huge. SRK & Aamir’s movie have always drawn crowd in Chennai. It’s good to see crowd back in the theatre.
We have had many movies whose name is same as the name of the hero in that movie.Its not very often you see a movie named after the villain’s name. Ghajini is the name of villain (Pradeep Rawat) in the movie.
I wanted to see the movie for Aamir Khan & for its climax. I really liked the climax, it was better than the Tamil version. In Tamil the villains were twins. The last 30 minutes of the movie was different from the Tamil version. The rest was same as the Tamil version. On a whole the movie was ok. The reason why I am saying this is because I have already watched the Tamil version (several times) & normally you tend to compare the movies. People who haven’t seen the Tamil version will surely love the Hindi version.
The Tamil version was better than the Hindi version. Reason, Surya’s acting (in Tamil version) was superb. I am not saying Aamir was bad. He was good, but not that good like Surya. The performance of Surya was great. It was a once in a lifetime performance. Even if Surya again acts in the remake of Ghajini, he won’t match his previous performance. Such performance can only be done once. At the end of the day, both (Aamir & Surya) are fine actors. Both are very hardworking actors. Aamir is a great actor. Surya has a long way to go to achieve what Aamir has achieved. Another reason is that the background score of the Tamil version was awesome. In the Hindi version, it was ok. In the Tamil version, the on scene chemistry between Surya & Asin was too good. In the Hindi version, I felt Aamir was a bit old when compared to Asin. The only positive thing in the Hindi version was the climax (the last 30 minutes).
Once again I am saying people who haven’t seen the Tamil version will surely love the Hindi version. People who have watched both the Hindi and Tamil version will surely like the Tamil version & will also agree to my comments to a certain extent.
The other movie which I saw this weekend was Slumdog Millionaire. It was a awesome movie. Check out the review here (Review: Slumdog Millionaire).
