i watched memento yesterday... the movie which supposedly inspired gajjini.... the similarities end at the medical condition of the lead protagnist, the murder of the lead-femal actor, the city map on the wall and the tattoos....
Memento is without any doubt one of the most captivating films of last year. A film that gnaws at you, amuses you, seduces you, and will give you one wish: to watch it and take another hard look
On the other hand, Gajjini is a typical masala hindi movie with liberal doses of action, violence and gore.... there were several lopeholes in the story that make u wonder....only aamir saves that movie from being a complete failure..... the lost look in his eyes when he forgets why he is running after the policeman or why he is hitting the bad guys in the end or the rage he feels when he looks at his tattoos in the mirror make u sympathise with him....... u feel the rage of the man who saw his lady-love murdered in front of him....
and so if u ask me what differentiates the two movies......i would say......
memento was a mind game.... u miss a scene and u fall back on what's happening.... with enough twists and turns, the end of the movie left me asking for more....

gajjini was pure violence..... i felt so sad for the characters of aamir and asin & so appalled by the gore in the movie (why couldnt they just pick a gun n shoot, the hammer made me nauseatic) that i could not wait for the movie to end, to run out and to get away...it depressed me totally....
