The much awaited Ghajini, starring Aamir Khan, Asin and Jiah Khan has hit the theaters across India on Christmas. Directed by A R Murugadoss, Ghajini is a remake from Tamil, titled the same.
With two heroines in the movie, if you think it is a triangle love story, you are wrong.
It is a story in which our hero, a leading industrialist named Sanjay Singhania, suffers from short term memory loss and waiting to take avenge on the villain (Pradeep Rawat), who killed his lady love,Kalpana (Asin). He is well supported in the mission by Jiah Khan, who plays a college student, in the movie
Whether Sanjay succeeds in his task forms the rest of the story. Adoring 8 packs, he takes on the villain group as a one man army. The fight sequences are excellent. This film lacks logic at many places, but still, it is a worth watch, purely for the action scenes of Aamir.
