Ghajini

Ghajini is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by A. R. Murugadoss. It stars Aamir Khan, Asin Thottumkal, and Jiah Khan. The film is a remake of Murugadoss's own 2005 Tamil film of the same name, which itself was inspired by the 2000 film Memento.

The plot centers on Sanjay Ramasamy, a wealthy businessman who suffers from anterograde amnesia, a condition where he cannot form new memories. This memory loss is a result of a brutal attack that also claimed the life of his girlfriend, Kalpana. Sanjay uses a system of notes, photographs, and tattoos to track down his girlfriend's killer and exact revenge. His short-term memory allows him only about fifteen minutes of recall at a time, forcing him to constantly retrace his steps and reconfirm his mission.

The film explores themes of love, loss, and vengeance. Asin portrays Kalpana, Sanjay's love interest whose memory is preserved through flashbacks that gradually reveal their relationship and the circumstances leading to her death. Jiah Khan plays Sunita, a medical student who becomes entangled in Sanjay's quest for revenge. Ghajini was a commercial success, becoming the first Indian film to cross the ₹1 billion mark at the box office. It received mixed to positive reviews, with particular praise for Aamir Khan's performance and the film's action sequences. The soundtrack, composed by Harris Jayaraj, was also well-received.
