Aamir Khans Hindi Movie Gajini Review and Climax

Posted by admin on 25th, 2008

I never miss watching big releases on the first day. Managed to get tickets for Gajini today after making some calls and without standing in the queue. All online reservations where full, but lucky me got ticket. 

Suryas Tamil Gajini

Before i start off i must just go back and do a quick Glimse of Suryas Tamil Gajini. I believe that was one awsome movie and asin had acted pretty wonderful in it. The scene in which she was hit to death was acted with sheer brilliance. The songs was mind blowing. It still stays and i love the beet “Suttum vidi”.

Aamir Khans Hindi Gajini Review

Note: For those who have seen the tamil Gajini the story is just ditto, except for the climax part. 

The story is about taking revenge for killing His love. Aamir Khan (Sanjay) is the owner of a cellphone company and he comes back home after studies to take his dad’s business and head the company. Asin (Kalpana) is a struggling model who works for a local add agency.  Sanjays people come to meet Kalpana to discuss about keeping a hoarding of the cellphone company on top of her house and she says no. The people mistakes it for Proposal and thinks Sanjay and Kalpana are going around. Kalapana takes up the opportunity and agrees to the gossip. Local magazine prints the news and then sajay comes to meet Kalpana.

Kalpana mistakes sanjay to be a model and offers him modelling assignments. They go around and finally sanjay propose. Then a series of event happens which leads to the killing of Kalapana and the loss of memory of Sanjay. Sanjay suffers from short term memory loss and cant remember anything for more than 15 minutes. The story is about Sanjay taking revenge for the Killing. I would leave it for you guys to watch and figure it out.

The Hindi Gajini climax is different from tamil gajini. Here there is no double role of villian in the climax scenes. He kills the villian the same way as Kalapana is killed.

I felt asin dint act that well in the hindi version as the Tamil one. The songs in hindi are good but the buzz wont stay long as the tamil gajini.

Gajini would definitely be a hit and i would rate it with a 3.5 out of 5.

If you are heading from any place in fort kochi or ernakulam city this is the best route to take else you should take the Aluva – Muvatupuzha route.


    In between the journey we halted at many scenic places and also to feed our tummies. We had Appam + Egg curry from Erattupetta(Kottayam). We reached Kumaly around 1PM ( our Indica got punctured on the way) and headed to Hotel Periyar which is near the Thekkady Entrance Gate.


    We then checked into a Homestay (Kerala style rooms) which was facing the Forest. Homestays charge you from Rs 750 to Rs 1500. If you the right contacts you might get discounts also. We then went and booked for night trekking in the forest. We choose to trek from 10PM to 1AM in the night. We tried to book for bamboo rafting but did not get tickets.


    Night Trekking was a nice experience. It was pitch dark. We where given Leech resistant shocks + Torch Lights. Two Guards where also there and it was a group of 5 Travellers. We could only spot only Deers during the trekk.

From the view point you can have a look at the Kambam Town. We couldnt enjoy the beauty of the waterfalls because we where standing on top of a pretty big waterfall and never could get a glimse of the falls. All i knew is the fall is pretty deep.


    By 3 PM we reached back to thekkady and then decided to walk to the Lake where the boating take place. We did not want to do boating because of the fear of not spotting a single animal. On the way to boating place which is like kinda 1 hour walk we could spot some animals.
