Plot

edit

Sunita, a medical student, is investigating the anterograde amnesia case of Sanjay Singhania, the chairman of Air Voice, a telecommunications company. Sunita does her investigation against her professor Dr. Debkumar Mitra's wishes as Sanjay is under criminal investigation. Sanjay, who loses his memory every 15 minutes, uses a system of photographs, notes, and tattoos on his body to recover his memory and remember his mission of avenging the murder of his fiancée Kalpana Shetty, who was killed by Ghajini Dharmatma, a kingpin and a notable socialite in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Inspector Arjun Yadav investigates a murder committed by Sanjay. He knocks Sanjay unconscious during a scuffle at his apartment and finds two diaries in his drawer. Arjun reads the first diary and learns that Sanjay, a successful entrepreneur, met Kalpana, a struggling model, after planning to install an advertising billboard above her apartment. When his agents approach Kalpana about it, her boss misinterprets it as a romantic advance and encourages her to accept it. Kalpana decides to pose as Sanjay's girlfriend. After learning about the false rumor, Sanjay plans to confront Kalpana but starts to like her after seeing her altruistic nature. He poses as Sachin Chauhan, a newcomer model, and lies to Kalpana about his identity. Sanjay falls deeper in love with her and, at the end of the first diary, proposes to her. Kalpana, surprised, asks for the night to think it over. Sanjay decides to reveal his true identity if she agrees but to walk away if she doesn't.

As Arjun starts reading the second diary, Sanjay attacks him and ties him up. He later tracks down Ghajini to a college function where Ghajini is the guest of honor. Sanjay takes pictures of Ghajini and decides to kill him. However, Sanjay mistakenly attacks and kills one of Ghajini's goons in the parking lot. Ghajini is perplexed and fails to recollect the incident. He decides to find and kill his enemies one by one, but Sanjay is not among them. In the meantime, Sunita locates the apartment, finds Arjun tied up, beaten and bound, and learns of Sanjay's murder plot. She steals his diaries and frees Arjun. Sanjay appears suddenly and doesn't remember either of them. As Sunita and Arjun escape, Arjun is hit by a bus. Sunita informs Ghajini that Sanjay is coming after him. Sanjay learns of this and goes to attack her at her dormitory, where he is arrested and sedated. Ghajini is informed by the police about Sanjay's belongings and poses as Sanjay's friend. Soon, Sanjay's employees and doctor arrive and take him home. Ghajini and his men destroy his pictures and cover his tattoos, leaving him with no memory of the past.

After Sanjay gets arrested, Sunita reads the diaries and learns about Kalpana. In the second diary, Kalpana accepts the proposal on the condition that she purchases three Ambassador cars due to a past commitment. One thing leads to another, and Sanjay decides to tell her the truth about himself later. The diary ends abruptly when Sanjay has to go overseas for a few days.

After some research, Sunita eventually learns Kalpana travelled to Goa, where she stumbled across and freed a group of girls from a sex trafficking ring racketeered by Ghajini. Back in Mumbai, Ghajini confronts Kalpana when she discovers two of the girls went missing and then she walks away in disgust. Later that night, a constable calls Kalpana and informs her that Ghajini has set out to kill her and his henchmen are hiding inside her house. Kalpana is unable to save herself and Sanjay rushes to her home after she calls him and finds Kalpana stabbed. Ghajini hits Sanjay in the head with an iron rod, which results in a brain injury, before killing Kalpana with the same rod, in front of him.

After learning of this shocking truth, Sunita finds Sanjay in the hospital and tells him the truth, reminding him of Kalpana's murder. He flies into a furious and heartbroken rage and Sunita helps him track Ghajini to his local area. Sanjay kills his men but has a memory loss fit while searching for Ghajini, who takes advantage of the situation and stabs Sanjay, as well as taunts him with the grisly tale of how he murdered Kalpana. As Ghajini is about to make Sanjay relive the experience by preparing to kill Sunita in the same way, Sanjay recovers the memory of Kalpana and fights back, with an anger fueled strength. He then kills Ghajini with the same iron rod, in the same way, thus avenging Kalpana's murder.

Six months later, Sanjay returns as the chairman of Air Voice and is volunteering at an orphanage named after Kalpana. Sunita gifts him the cement pad with Sanjay and Kalpana's foot impressions and Sanjay feels Kalpana beside him.

Cameo appearance

Production

edit

Development

edit

It was rumoured earlier that the film was titled Kajri.[10] It is a remake of the Tamil film, Ghajini (2005). Aamir Khan, who had never before worked in a remake film in his career,[11] was initially hesitant to do the film, but was convinced by Suriya, the original star of the Tamil Ghajini, who told him he was "the only one who could do justice to the character."[12] Suriya was a fan of Khan, and had some involvement in the film's development, discussing minute details with Khan for two years during the film's development.[11]

Casting

edit

Priyanka Chopra was offered the role of Kalpana, but was later replaced by Asin, who reprised her role from the original Tamil film.[13]

Khan was involved in the film's creative writing process, deciding what should remain from the original Tamil Ghajini and what changes should be made. Murugadoss revealed that the altered climax of the film was rewritten by Khan. According to Murugadoss:[14]

We didn't make too many changes in the rest of the film. Every time I'd suggest a change in Ghajini from the original, Aamir would firmly cut it down, saying we should stick to the Tamil script. But he decided we should rewrite the climax. The entire location, incidents and dialogues for the climax were re-written by Aamir. I think the Hindi version is far better than the Tamil Ghajini because of the changes Aamir made.

Influences

edit

Murdagoss's original 2005 Tamil version of Ghajini was inspired by the American film Memento (2000), which itself was adapted from the short story "Memento Mori". The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator searching for the man he believes raped and killed his wife during a burglary. Leonard suffers from anterograde amnesia, which he contracted from severe head trauma during the attack on his wife. Certain concepts like writing notes behind instant Polaroid photographs and tattooing facts on his body are also similar. According to Khan, "Ghajini is not a remake or even slightly inspired by Memento, but rather a remake of the Tamil film, Ghajini".[15] However, he acknowledged that Murgadoss's original Tamil film was at least partly inspired by Memento, stating, "Murgadoss had heard about a film called Memento and the concept had really fascinated him. Without having seen the film he went ahead and wrote his own version of the script and screenplay. Having finished his script, he then saw Memento, found it very different from what he had written, and went ahead and made Ghajini."[16]

The CGI opening brain sequence was inspired by the 1999 film Fight Club by David Fincher. This sequence was also used in the Tamil version of the film.

The film's title is a reference to Mahmud of Ghazni, the tenth-century Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire whose name is pronounced "Ghajini" in Tamil.[17] Several comical scenes in the film are similar to Happy Go Lovely (1951). The scene where Kalpana (Asin) helps a blind man to cross the road is similar to the French film Amélie.[18]

Filming

edit

Shooting started in Chennai in May 2007.[19] Climax was shot in Old City, Hyderabad. Other filming locations included Bangalore, Cape Town in South Africa, the Deadpan Desert in Namibia and Mumbai. Aamir Khan had spent a year working out at the gym, training for his role.[20] This film marked the Bollywood debut for Asin. The film's production budget was ₹65 crore (US$14.94 million).[4]

Release

edit

Ghajini was released on 25 December 2008 with an estimated 1,500 prints worldwide,[21] including 1,200 prints (digital and analogue versions) in the domestic market,[5][22] making it the largest Bollywood release at that time. The domestic rights were sold to Geetha Arts for ₹530 million, while satellite, overseas and home media rights were sold at a total of ₹400 million, breaking the records of Shah Rukh Khan's film Om Shanti Om's ₹730 million.[23]

The overseas distributors, Reliance Entertainment released the film with 300 prints in 22 countries, including 112 prints in the US and Canada, 65 prints in the UK and 36 prints in the UAE. Ghajini was also released in Norway, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore.[24] It had around 650 paid previews which fetched it around ₹70 million.[22]

Home media

edit

Video games

edit
Main article: Ghajini – The Game

A PC video game based on the film was manufactured and produced by FXLabs Studios Pvt Ltd and Geetha Arts, and marketed and distributed by Eros Home Entertainment: Ghajini – The Game. It is a third-person action game consisting of five levels of play; here the player controlled the protagonist Sanjay to accomplish missions using martial arts, weapons, and artefacts.[26] It was hailed as India's first true 3D PC game with an MSRP of US$14.99.[citation needed] Although never officially rated, the distributor recommends that 15+ year old players partake in the game.[27]

Mobile video games were also released by Indiagames based on the film including Ghajini The Game and Ghajini Ultimate Workout.[28][29]

Controversy

edit

Director A. R. Murugadoss was arrested shortly before the film's completion. According to Salem Chandrasekhar, the producer of the Tamil original, he had not bought the rights to remake the film in Hindi.[30]

Anil Kapoor revealed that the director of the original film, Memento (2000) Christopher Nolan, from which Murugadoss ripped-off story, was very upset, he told Anil "I have heard that one of my films has been copied. I (Kapoor) said Ghajini. He was very upset about it. I told Aamir also. I told (Nolan) the film had just been released over there and is a big success. (He then said) Yeah, no money, no credit, no nothing.” [31]

Critical response

edit

Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN wrote "Ghajini isn't a particularly good film, but entertainment it delivers by the bucketful."[33] Martin D'Souza of Bollywood Trade News Network notes its flaws in the script, while praising the action sequences.[34] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama remarked that the movie "is a winner all the way".[35] Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India praised the performance by Aamir Khan as its high point.[36] Zee News described Aamir's performance as his best to date.[37]

Sukanya Verma of Rediff describes the film as "a sleek album of dark memories, which are terrifying to relive and shattering to experience".[38] Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL India said, "Most comparisons often point out that a remake is not as worthy.Ghajini however succeeds when it is compared to the Tamil version directed by the same director."[39] Anupama Chopra of NDTV said "Ghajini isn't a great film or even a very good one but I recommend that you see it. It is, as we used to say in the old days, paisa vasool.[40] Kaveree Bamzai of India Today said that "This is brutality, choreographed by a poet, and therefore that much more compelling."[41]

Gaurav Malani of India Times criticises its length while praising the performance of the cast.[42] Raja Sen of Rediff criticised the performance of Asin while concluding, "overwhelming feeling is one of regret".[43] Shubhra Gupta of Express India concluded that Ghajini is too long, too violent, and criticised Jiah Khan's acting and dancing skills, but praised the performances of Aamir Khan and Asin.[44] Hindustan Times wrote "You'd like to give Ghajini a long-term memory loss. Kya, kyon, kahan? Murugadoss.? Aamir? Asin? Who? Got to jog my memory... maybe after 15 minutes."[45]

Box office

edit

Ghajini released worldwide on 25 December 2008, on Christmas Day.
