Hawaii International Film Festival  

Spring 2009
GHAJINI

Hailed as the highest grossing (Hindi) film of all time, India's blockbuster hit, GHAJINI finally makes its Hawaii debut. Starring the absolutely ripped Aamir Khan (who trained for a year to get those awesome eight-pack abs and bulging biceps) as Sanjay, a man afflicted with short-term memory determined on avenging the death of his girlfriend. If the plot sounds familiar it is because it is a remake within remake -- based on a Tamil film of the same name, which was a remake itself of Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO -- Regardless, director A.R. Murugados manages to add his own spin on this tale to keep audiences at the edge of their seats. » More
