Being a do-gooder, when Kalpana successfully saves a
bunch of children who were in danger, she is brutally
murdered by a gang leader Ghajini Dharmatma (Pradeep
Rawat). While trying to save Kalpana, Sanjay gets hit
hard on the head, eventually leading him into a state of
short term memory loss.
The doctors diagnose it as
anterograde amnesia where a person’s memory can only last
for fifteen minutes and he can’t remember any relations,
nor events or incidents that have happened before in his
life. Sanjay then becomes obsessed with avenging the
murder of his girlfriend. To combat his disability of
short term memory loss, he has tattoos spread over his
body to help him remember what his aims are.
 The background score is well executed. The greatest part
of the movie is the action. Also, the anguish and
frustration of the protagonist is effectively captured.
Aamir Khan is convincing even while beating up the
baddies who appear too big for a man of his size. Being
a perfectionist, Aamir Khan worked on his body for 3-4
hours daily for a year in the gym for this appearance.
