Right. It was a cold night while returning from Ghajini. We went to our favourite theatre- Cauvery. We rode on the footpath while going. It was utterly crazy but we had to make it there on time. We walked in around five minutes late. The first face I saw on screen was of Jiah Khan. I think she tried to get the “Priyanka Chopra tan” but it got two shades darker by mistake. Anyway, it suits her pretty well. As much as I dislike her, she has done a good job in the movie.
Aamir Khan, who suffers from a loss of Short Term Memory and Insomnia in the movie, has amazing presence. His acting is immaculately perfect! When required, he is an adorable, sweet chocolate boy. When he is not hot and awesome, he is a mad dog. Seriously! He growls, bites, kicks, scratches and what not! He has that mad look in his eye that can make chills run down your spine. He loses his sanity from time to time and makes you squeeze whatever you have in your hand real hard. In the second half of the movie, I actually sat in my seat, shivering from head to toe, not because I was cold but because I was that excited. I watched about five minutes of the movie through my Santa cap because I felt it was a little too gory. I heard a little kid say “Mummy, Taare Zameen Par is only nice”. Heh. Poor chap! When there were around ten minutes left, I sat there hoping the movie would never end. Brilliant action!
Asin looks ok-ok in the movie. Should she shed some pounds, she’ll look stunning! Her acting is remarkably good especially when she is scared to death sitting in the Pooja room. That scene will give you goose bumps. You might see a little over acting when she gets one dabba Ambassador, then again, nobody is perfect.
The songs were unnecessary. A R Rahman is definitely not at his best. No comments about the lyrics of the songs. (They are terrible. :P) And what the hell is with Aamir Khan’s clothes?! He really doesn’t look like the CEO of his company. He looks like he came dressed up for the shooting of Matrix or James Bond. Nevertheless, he pulled it off!
Overall, brilliant movie, thanks to Aamir Khan’s flawless acting. If not for him, the movie would have been like one of SRK’s action flicks. (Ahem! By SRK I mean Shivraj Kumar. :P) Enthralling and action-packed, the movie will make you yell “hodyo ounna” every ten minutes or so. Hehe. I’d give the movie 4 on 5.

Just so you know: I've written this in my style. I don't intend this to be printed in some newspaper. It is just for my blog.:)
I haven't yet watched the flick ,so my expectations are partly based on your review.You have covered many significant aspects like the main one-performance,music and the background score,costumes and lastly the emotional quotient.Good work! :)
lol ... yr talk on jiah's tan reminds me of ross's tan in friends :D
n watttttt ..... it ll look cooler on print .... better than d crappy reviews i read this sounds way more fun !!!
have u watched Memento, the english inspiration for this movie? i bet its a ton better. simply bcos there's not gonna be any songs or indian masala. And btw, "negro" is an offensive term. don't use it. definitely not in written form. plus, i'm surprised, u do seem to have a few biases, wrt various things.
u should watch memento. the director is same as Dark Knight.
Ok I'll change that. I thought only ni**er was an offensive term. I can't help but be biased. :-/
I have watched Memento. Brilliant movie! But nothing can beat Aamir Khan's acting dude. He is simply amazing!
yeah.. that's what my mom too said about the aamir khan movie
