Ghazini

How do you count eight packs? The question plagues you when you first come at Aamir Khan in his new movie. His rippling musculature has been all the focus, through the past month, in print, in TV, in hoardings. That, and the buzz cut, with deep scars running through, showing the scalp. This is an Aamir we haven’t seen before—fronting a frame filling physique, flaunting matter over

If you had 15 minutes of memory, what would you cram into that terrifyingly short span? The name of your loved one, your phone number, your home? If you were a regular joe, that’s exactly what you’d do, but if you are Aamir Khan in ‘Ghajini’, you would bulk up your body, tattoo the name of the man you need to kill, and smear your walls with violent graffiti.
Short term memory loss means you forget, everything, within a short span of time. And the moment you get back into the zone, re-building the pieces of your life, the clock starts ticking again, for the next meltdown. It’s a fascinating premise for a movie, and a few years ago, ‘Memento’, made by Christopher Nolan, gave us a unique hero who suffers from short haul amnesia, while he searches for his beloved’s killer.
