Review: A good remake made by A.R.Murugadoss of his own Tamil movie of the same name Ghajini. Most of the remakes of the movies are not that much effective and good this time it’s an altogether a different story. Performance of Aamir khan was all together at a different level. Asin making Bollywood debut makes it with ease and comfort. Performance of Jiah Khan and Pradeep Rawat were also good. Music and songs of the movie were great and so can be said for some of the action sequences. Most of the movie was almost the same as Tamil remake of Ghajini whom Murugadoss has directed previously so in this he hasn’t made any new creativity. Also the core idea has been taken from English movie Memento. As a whole, movie is very good to watch full of entertainment, thriller with a mind blowing performance of Aamir Khan and Asin.

Stars given: 3.5 out of 5.
