Million times better than the Bollywood copy Ghajini (2008)

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2010)

I saw the Bollywood copy before I saw the original because I am from Pakistan and in my region Bollywood movies are more famous and popular but I always admired movies from Hollywood and other movie industries more than Bollywood movies because I always admire good movies. I am watching movies from Hollywood and other movie industries since my childhood but much less than Bollywood movies but in last 2 3 years my love towards movies from Hollywood and other movie industries just skyrocketed and I now watch lots of movies from Hollywood and other movie industries and very few Bollywood movies.
In that process I saw many movies that Bollywood copied from other movie industries and Memento is one of them.
Unless you consider adding songs and additional Bollywood garbage big difference, Ghajini is a copy of Memento. Creators of Ghajini added some additional scenes so they can say that their movie is not a copy, those scenes include typical boring Bollywood love scenes and some totally unnecessary comedy scenes. I used the word 'copy' rather than 'remake' because the creators of Ghajini never admit that their movie is a remake of Memento, they always said that their movie is a remake of another Indian movie which is also a copy of Memento but this would be an act of stupidity to believe that they are not lying and they don't know about the existence of Memento, they just quietly copied Memento.
Now about the original movie. Its just great, despite the fact I already knew many things about this movie because I saw the Bollywood copy before I saw Memento I still loved this movie. Direction is brilliant, screenplay is just great the way the movie paced towards the end is just awesome. Every actor did a splendid job, Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano did their job perfectly too bad they didn't got the recognition they deserved, they are still underrated, the movie itself didn't got the recognition it deserved from awards jury.
