  • Disgrace to the original!

    xvaasan2006-03-02

    What a waste of talent! One of my favourite actors, Surya stars as Sanjay Ramasamy, the rich businessman who, after an incident, suffers from an incurable short-term memory loss. He has done an excellent job right from the beginning till the end, as handsome, romantic Sanjay and the guy suffering from memory loss (is his name Ghajini? it was nowhere mentioned!). He is the spinal cord of the movie. Asin is graceful as his lively love and cute when she narrates the Bombay airport story. She has also shown maturity in the scenes when the inevitable occurs. Nayanthara. Sorry. Wrong number. The villain, Pradeep Rawat (he is better with his turban-clad look as in Lagaan) looks repulsive as well as acts immaturely and forcefully tries to prove us that he is the villain and we should fear him. Grrrr! Total Misfit. The worst is when you have to see too much of him (I don't want to spoil that horrible suspense). "Oru Maalai Ilaveyyil Neram" is composed, sung, picturised and acted out beautifully. Nevertheless, I squirmed during Asin's introductory song. It was indigestibly disgusting. Background music was alright and repetitive. The stunts were only noisy, dull and with no innovation at all. But one must watch Surya in it. And his "run" while chasing the car! Wow! He as always is superb. Now I come to the most important person involved in this movie. The director A. R. Murugadoss. Many of us well know that apart from the romantic scenes, the long boring water fight in the climax, new form of titles (have you seen Brad Pitt's "Fight Club" titles? ringing a bell somewhere?) and a few other scenes, the rest of the movie right from trailer till story is a blind confused copy of Memento (2000 - IMDb RANK - 22). I sincerely appreciate the director for wanting to remake it with some adaptations and let our people have a feel of it. Its a noble desire. Agreed. But I really don't understand why he had to mutilate it, in the process of doing so!!! If any of you have a chance to watch Memento, please don't miss it. When such a brilliant tale exists, why one has to make a movie by cutting bits and pieces of it and making another with some masala and action tailor-made for the Tamil screen? Memento portrays a handsome looking smart and brilliant guy (even during memory loss) who meticulously plans his everyday with pictures and tattoos on his body after having incorporated the illness. He remembers "everything" before the brutal incident but is only unable to remember the "new incidents" for a long time. In Ghajini, the hero is a psychologically affected person who lives in a shabby manner and even forgets people whom he met before the tragedy. Short-term memory loss doesn't have time limit. It has to do with senses and situations. But here, in exactly 15 minutes he forgets. God! Please save the Tamil movie-watchers! How many brilliant scenes are there in Memento to exhibit the loop holes and subtleties of his illness! All were wasted in this. And the main plot of the movie... The truth about what really happened! Where did that go???? Lost cos it wont be accepted by Tamil audience? Com'on guys! Stop making movies for heroes and their images! We Tamils can watch a great movie told in a great way. Please don't make such silly adaptations and blame us always with "They only like to watch this" dialogues. We are an excellent audience. Mind it. Except for the beautifully made romantic scenes and a dedicated performance by Surya and Asin, Ghajini is an attempt to completely disgrace one of the best movies of the world. Either the director has considered all of us incapable of understanding the story in Memento or he himself couldn't understand the movie. Therefore, I recommend him to exercise the use of English subtitles or better hire an English-Tamil translator before going on to adapt another Hollywood masterpiece. Please don't take this comment as an ill-mannered one. As a genuine fan of good movies, I put forth it with utmost honesty. None can appreciate my words unless and until one has watched Memento. Imagine remaking "Titanic" with fight scenes on the ship deck, duet songs with many dancers and some mother-sister sentiment and a long dialogue by Jack before he drowns in the sea. Its disgrace to the original. You'll know what I mean, when you watch Memento. I sincerely request you to watch it, just once. Vaasan

  • Not the best!

    nmadhuk32006-08-17

    It is not a crime to rip off movies into Tamil and Hindi.But what is loathsome is the inept "Indianization" of the movie.It is commendable that Director Murugadoss has even thought of bringing Memento to the Tamil audience but did it need such a loose script to hopelessly adapt it for the mainstream moviegoers of the state? The movie starts off taut enough.Suriya,the lead actor,seems to be making the right moves in choosing the projects he associates himself with.But in spite of what he might want to hear,it is his billionaire character that easily outshines the truculent amnesiac in the movie. The second half of the movie fizzles out with the bollywood imported villain(the director really is childish with his double acting stunts)and Nayan Thara(in obscenely ill-fitting attires). The music is surprisingly good.Harris Jeyaraj,unlike the Director Murugadoss has actually put in some effort to get his scores right.Watch the movie if you want to.I'd definitely not recommend it.

  • Nothing original !

    Celluloidworld2007-06-22

    I saw this movie and was impressed first only for one reason .The new concept of short term memory loss .But then later when I saw the original one Memento I was totally awestruck by how beautifully the screenplay was done ,you in fact live with the character ,which you can never feel for once in Ghajini .Well thats not the only flaw the whole brilliance and intelligence of Mememto is diminished in Ghajini . Its ultimately turns out to be a love story like the million others . Yes it has this concept of short term memory loss .But instead of developing on that , the story is killed half the way . Well I was impressed with Ghajini only because I was happy that directors have started thinking about new concepts ,but I was wrong .This one too turned out to be a copy ,nothing original .

  • Suriya's Landmark movie..Simply entertaining and Thrilling

    gautham_harry2012-11-26

    Before writing this review i just want to say one thing to Suriya haters. You can write bad reviews and put low rating points for this movie.. but u can never stop the movie from being a blockbuster! you all now know the result! this movie collected many many awards for all categories..this is one of Suriya's top 5 movies! and it was remade in Hindi by the legendary Aamir Khan. that movie also broke all records in collection! Coming to the movie.. People call this a copy from the movie Memento! i don't think so.. its just an inspiration. they have just inspired the concept of Short Term Memory Loss and the struggles of the hero. other than that, the plot, story is entirely different.. better learn the difference between remake and inspiration! Cast: Suriya- the most romantic hero of Tamil cinema has done lots of justice to the movie. he is charming as Sanjay and Ferocious as the memory loss patient! his expressions, aggression, romance, dance,etc,etc truly shows his potential as one of the best actors in Tamil cinema! Asin- Should be and always be the best movie she has done in Tamil. lots of scope for her as an actor and she has done a perfect job! her character as Kalpana was really superb and touching! Nayanthara- she has done a pretty good job and her acting shud definitely be appreciated. she has a long way to go! Pradeep Rawat- as a villain, he has done a terrific job! Riyaz Khan- tough his character is short-timed, he has done a perfect job as a police officer. Sathyan and manobala- both these characters make us really entertained on the screen. Music: 5/5 for the songs and BGM.. the music and songs were blockbuster hits and were the favourites among the youth for many years. till now many have the songs as their ring-tones. Hats of Harris :) Direction: Truly a masterpiece from A.R. Murugadoss.. excellent screenplay, story and direction! he has chosen the right script, the right cast, the right technicians. what else can you expect? a true masterpiece and a perfect dedication to Tamil cinema Verdict- a evergreen movie of Suriya from Murugadoss.Haters will be there.Haters are there for every movie.but they r just considered as barking dogs! One of the best of Suriya movies and is recommended to watch many times , even get a original blue-ray DVD as a collection! this movie deserves it:) 10/10 for the movie

  • Gajini - Wins in the First Attempt

    SelvarajanK2005-10-25

    Gajini, Directed by A.R.Murugadhas is a action movie, this time with a story. Murugadas, RD. Rajasekar, Antony above all Kanal Kanna are the real hero's of the film in Story, Camera, Editing and Stunts respectively. The highlight of the movie is the climax stunt between Surya and the Villain – absolutely fabulous. When I saw alavandhan (movie) I thought what else can you do to beat this kind of stunt (remember kamal vs kamal) but the vision of the director, stuntman and the visual effects is really amazing and surprisingly perfect (It took 10 days to complete the climax). Surya has performed beautifully in both the characters. Surya, Asin pair in the movie looks fresh and good. Nayanthara trying to be sexy looks ugly in her attempt but her character is the pivot in the movie. Harris Jayaraj is looking confused in many places in the background score, he gives you a feeling as if you are seeing his earlier movie (anniyan, thotti jaya) but he has made it equal with songs specially "Sutrum Villi Sudarae" is beautifully choreographed and filmed. A.R.Murugadhas has done the story (The knot was taken from an English film Memento), screenplay and direction very well, but the two songs (Nayantharas and the climax song) are definitely the show stoppers as they bring down the phase and the impact of the story in a descending order, must have been avoided (remember Ramana where we has effectively only 2 songs) Gajini a movie worth watching.
