DVD REVIEW: GHAJINI (HINDI)


See Aamir Khan in one of his best performances ever. GHAJINI currently holds the record for the highest grossing blockbuster in the history of Indian cinema. It is out on DVD now and you can purchase original copies online from Bollywood Quarter or if you are living in Canberra, from Bharat International (17 Oatley Court) in Belconnen. BTW, the songs are great too (4 stars).

Trivia: Did you know that "Yaadon Ki Baraat" (1973) was Aamir Khan's first movie? He plays the role of young Ratan - the young child that needed to go 'wee wee' during the family song at the the start of the show. It wasn't until 1988 in the hit movie "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" (with Juhi Chawla) that he become a household name in India.

  2. Inahar, yes this is the latest Aamir Khan movie. It is AWESOME! Hope you can find a copy. Make sure you get a good copy as it is quite a 'dark' movie and only shows up well in a good print.

  3. Hi, I watched the tamil version of this movie with the very-good-looking Surya as the hero *winks*
    I'd surely watch this version if I can find it in DVD. My husband and I watched Lagaan few months ago and we laughed our heads off. We both enjoyed it; it was a awesome movie.

  4. Menaka, I have to 'google' Surya now, after seeing what you have to say about him ;)

    It is so ironic....I was looking for the hindi version of the song 'Chanda Re' from the movie Sapnay YESTERDAY on youtube when I came across the Tamil version with Prabu Deva and Kajol. Tamil movies must be in the air!!!

    This movie is really awesome. Aamir does such a good job. Hope you can find a copy.
