Ghajini - did you think Aamir could have such an effect?

"Ghajini", people have been speculating could have some bad effects dues to the violence. However, this forwarded mail that came in my mailbox this morning had me wondering as to what effects a movie could possibly have on the human mind. The mail title said "Don't Allow Women to See Ghajini" ...and guess what this is the cartoon that followed.

'Ghajini'....after all the curiosity it brought about among all of us, its something finally what Aamir is always good at - springing surprises!
With 'Taare Zameen Par' I began assuming that he was now onto what people call meaningful, serious cinema. Then he comes up with this surprise - a Romantic Action Thriller; which in point of fact is a true blue masala film. But I loved the maturity and seriousness he portrayed through the character he played. The story line of 'Ghajini' is definitely a predictable one but I think the manner in which the movie has been shot deserves appreciation. Without the violence and the fantastic work played by both the lead actors, I don't think the movie would have been what it is.
I really loved the movie. I enjoyed every bit of it. (I made sure my husband and I went minus our 4 year old !)
I think whoever made that cartoon is extremely creative. Wonderful thinking ! It in fact reminded me of what George Bernard Shaw said - “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”
