PRAGOTI

Ghajini is a violent tale of individual retribution and revenge, in essence no different from hundreds of other such films, from Hollywood to Bombay to Madras to Hyderabad to Lahore, about a super-strong hero destroying, single-handed, an evil villain. Ghajini is an assault on the audiences’ intelligence. Actually, many parts are just an assault – loud, jarring, over the top. The movie is just plain dumb. The film could have been, but is not, the nightmare that could have haunted the head honchos of Enron and Satyam, and indeed countless others, as they face meltdown, liquidation, bankruptcy and pauperization.says Sudhanva Deshpande.
