The Bollywood gangster movie collides with Memento as a pumped up, amnesiac Aamir Khan attempts to bring down criminal mastermind and killer Ghajini. This slick and stylish film, a critical and commercial smash in India, contains yet another outstanding soundtrack from Slumdog Millionaire composer A. R. Rahman.
Review
“For those who thought Memento would have been a better movie with a few more songs and a lot more ass-kicking, writer-director A.R. Murugadoss offers Ghajini, [a] mash-up of musical-comedy romance, action-movie mayhem and psycho-thriller suspense.” Joe Leydon, Variety
