This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

It is a impressive story told in a very inventive manner. Surya steals the show. Be it the romantic and rich Sanjay or the struggling man out to seek revenge, Surya is simply original and expressive.He has really bent his back to make the action sequences sizzle. Sizzles, he also with Asin. The two some really make a pair. Asin is full of vibrant energy. Nayantra is okay-okay.The film could have done with a little more of humor. Harris Jeyaraj's music is again brilliant. He lifts the film to a new high with his smart rerecording. Rajasekhar's camera work is also another high point of the film.Kanal Kannan's stunt choreography needs special mention.Thanks a lot for Murugadoss for showing that masala movies need not be inane or insipid.Ghajini works, big time.

Agreed that the core theme (Short Term Memory Loss) of Ghajini is taken out of Memento. It is also to be agreed that almost all of the movies, including those from Hollywood (come on guys, what about "The Departed"?), draw inspiration from some other (whether it be a movie or something else).However, kudos to the director Murugadoss for molding the movie so well. Look at how he brings in the regional flavor. I liked the movie a lot. The motive is to reach any common man which is what Ghajini achieves but which is where Memento fails at. Music by Harris Jeyaraj is a big plus.P.S. I'm quite surprised looking at so many comments hinting negative connotations. Of course, everybody has a right to express and I'm not challenging anyone. It's just that I'm surprised...

After watching "Memento", the Hollywood original, i was expecting a good remake of the same with an added Indian masala pinch from Ghajini.The film started off well but lost its touch after fifteen minutes as itloses its way gradually and one can expect only the worse as the movie progresses. The love story plot in the movie Drags a lot. I did not understand the need for such an exaggerated and a gruesome monotonous plot of romance. The director did not even care about the lag as his art of storuy telling sucks. The climax scene was the worst i have seen i my entire life. It had nothing to do with the story. I had gone to see this movie with ten friends and all of them hated the movie to the core. The Performances: 1. Asin did acommendable job and so did the other actress. 2. Surya tries too much and too hard only to fall short of even a decent performance. i would recommend kakka Kakka instead of this movie. 3. Only Pratap Rawat was the saving grace of what can be duly called a FLOP SHOW To conclude i must say -> that this film would be loved only by ardent Surya fans and those who really don't care to bother much about the Movie as Mr. Murgadoss had deviated from the path completely. SO the movie in my opinion is a big NO. Lets see what AAmir Khan would do when he does the remake. so, Mr. Murgadoss, i would suggest that you take up manual for directing movies as your last two ones -Ghajini and Stalin were juz AWFUL.

Sanjay ramasamy(surya)is an short term memory loss patient and in the flash back he is an business tycoon ,but falls in love with a advertisement model(asin),who is interested in helping others.because of this nature she lands up into trouble and it goes up to the extent of she being killed.Surya who develops short term memory loss after an assault,plans to take revenge on those people responsible for his lovers murder.nyanthara plays the role of a medical student who is interested in case history of Surya. initially without knowing the story of Surya,she creates problem for him indirectly,but at last help him to reach the people whom he wanted to kill.this season being an one withreleases of lots of psycho thrillers,ghajini could do well.except certain scenes where there logic is overruled ,its a good movie
