With a person of Aamir Khan's stature being involved in a film you expect the cinema to be something totally refreshing. TZP and Jaane Tu..were two movies he offered in the past 6 months. Though not producing this time hes seen in much awaited and much hyped GHAJANI. But sadly, this one according to me, cannot be named in the same league as TZP. Both the films are as different as chalk and cheese but still TZP was almost flawless. But Ghajani comes with its share of detterents as well. Firstly the plusses of the film would definately be Aamir. He uses his eyes brilliantly. His physique is sure to impress all. His acting phenomenal. See him in the scene where he breaks down in the hospital in front of Jiah Khan. Asin is another winner in the film. Her performance is commendable. Music is classy as you expect with AR Rehman. Now for the minusses- the main pillars on which you develop a great cinema i.e the story/screenplay and the editing are let down on occassions.There are portions where the writing is fantastic but there are more places where it is a letdown. Certain parts of the screenplay look too unbelievable and illogical. There was a scope to cut down the length of the film from 3 hrs to more efficient 2 hour plus. The Aamir- Asin track goes on for much too longer than necessary. Coming back to the screenplay the character of Jiah Khan is the weakest link of the story.
In all an all the film is good for a watch neither worth 4.5 rating as given by some critcs neither deserves just a 2. The rating would be somewhere around 3.
