A.R. Murugadoss has got into this film after his blockbuster Ramana. Salem A. Chandrasekar is the producer of the thriller Ghajini. This film has Surya and Asin in the lead. This film traces the life of a top business man’s superhuman efforts in the face of impossible obstacles to seek revenge. The film opens with Surya introduced as a patient suffering from “short term memory loss” – he is able to remember incidents that occurred less than 15 minutes ago. The story swings between Sanjay Ramasamy’s (Surya’s) life, before and after the fateful incident that made him a patient of short term memory loss. The story swings between Sanjay Ramasamy’s (Surya) life before and after the fateful incident that made him a patient. The movie moves between past and present in a riveting manner, creating a sense of suspense.
Sanjay Ramasamy (Surya), a rich industrialist was in love with a model cum activist Kalpana (Asin). Kalpana accidentally came to know of a gang of child kidnappers during her activist work. To silence her permanently, Lakshman (Prathap) “deletes her”, i.e. she is killed in the presence of Sanjay, and Sanjay is hit on his head, leading to his amnesia. He clearly remembers what happened prior to his being hit on the head. But subsequent events remain in his memory for 15 minutes only. Sanjay becomes a patient of memory loss; still, he wants to seek revenge for the death of Kalpana. He tries remembering things by tattooing all over his body and by taking instant photos. He appears really ferocious and scary. Sanjay makes several attempts to take revenge on the murderers even after his continuous failures. He makes repeated attempts to kill the villain just like Ghajini’s repeated attempts, hence the name of the movie. One would have heard of persons losing senses totally or partially, but it is really rare to hear about a person losing his senses every fifteen minutes which is clearly and beautifully presented in this movie. His story comes to light when a police officer (Riaz Khan) reads his diary. Dr. Chitra (Nayantara), who is a medical student, is interested in doing a case study on Sanjay.
Surya has done a wonderful job. Be it the bold, energetic business magnate or the wild chaser Surya has stolen the show. Asin seems full of energy. The two seem to make a real good pair. Harris Jayaraj’s music has added more energy to the film. A pinch of comedy is what is missing in the movie. Else the movie is a success for sure.
