Eighteen year old Jamal Malik is having an amazing answering streak on the Indian version of the television game show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". He's only one correct question away from the big prize. However, some, including those associated with the game show, question how someone like Jamal, a self confessed non-genius who grew up in the slums of Mumbai, can be doing so well on the show when others who are brighter, more educated and wealthier than him have failed. Is Jamal cheating? Is it purely luck that they have asked him the questions to which he knows the answers? Seeing Jamal's life journey to this point ultimately answers these questions. His life journey includes being orphaned at an early age; growing up with an older brother, Salim, who was both his guardian/protector and antagonist; and having a relationship since childhood with another orphaned child, a girl named Latika. His motivation for being on the show also may provide some answers to his success. Perhaps it was all just meant to be


but one similar movie released in Malayalam two years back?

Watched Ghajini today. Movie is intense. Aamir brilliant. Asin ok kinds. Length from 3 hour 10 min could be reduced to 2.30 by cutting useless songs and few scenes. Direction shoddy at places. Raw and nice action. Villain sucks.but tamil Ghajini is better than  this in the case of song seans and all.

Before watching Gajini, everyone should watch Memento, brilliantly executed.  it seems to be "inspired" from memento.

Overall good one time watch. Loved Aamir's physique.
