Ghajini

Synopsis: Medical student, Sunita, is driven by curiosity to study the case of Sanjay Singhania, who is afflicted with short-term memory loss. She runs into him, befriends him, and finds out that he is out to kill a seemingly benevolent citizen, Ghajini Dharmatma. After warning the latter of the impending danger, she subsequently comes across a number of diaries written by Sanjay and attempts to put together a jigsaw puzzle as to how a successful and wealthy businessman became a crazed recluse, who re-lives his past through tattoos on his body, notes and Polaroid photographs on the wall of his Hiranandani Complex flat, and his sole obsession of carrying out his deadly mission - little knowing that Ghajini and his goons are out to erase every bit of evidence he has gathered and thus ensure that he ends up remembering nothing.

Amnesia Short term memory loss

Hey, look at this one.

This one's my project.

No.

Sir, but why?

Forget this case.

But it's such an interesting case.

Interesting yes,

but it's also a police case.

But...

Sunita, you want me to

call your parents?

Fine, I won't take it up.

But as medical students,

we want to know.

Okay...

That is Sanjay Singhania.

Hit on the head with an iron rod.

After the incident,

he lost his memory.

He is unable to remember anything now.

We call it short term memory loss.

He remembers events for

only about 15 minutes.

AfteRWards...

he forgets everything.

For example, he'd ask your name...

and in 15 minutes he will

have forgotten it.

He recalls only fragments of the incident.

But we can't say how much of it he remembers.

Regular tasks like eating,

drinking, driving, also his feelings...

lie embedded in his

sub-conscious mind.

How does he go about

his everyday routine?

How does a child perform

instructed tasks?

By committing to memory,

learning by rote.

Or, by jotting things

down in writing.

Likewise, he remembers

tasks by writing.

What was that incident?

Who assaulted him?

This, no one knows.

Unfortunately, he doesn't

even recall a face.

How can someone live on like this...

I wonder, what he's doing this moment...

Ghajini

Killed, just like Mangesh.

The second, this week.

Even if I've to search every street,

I'm going to get this one in 48 hours.

Find out who...

I must find him before the

police gets to him.

Where to?

There...

Orchard Avenue.

Pin 400076. My street

We're in Orchard Avenue.

Take the next right.

Odyssey. It's a building on

your right. I want to go there.

My building

Whose address is it?

Mine.

Day before yesterday. 10 am.

From Hiranandani to Andheri Station.

Yes, I sold that ticket.

What's written behind it?

He paid me with a five hundred note.

I didn't have change.

So I wrote it on the back.

He forgot to take the change...

hey, it must be him.

Who...?

This one always forgets.

Sometimes he forgets to buy a ticket,

sometimes it's the change.

At times, he'll go on buying tickets.

He keeps on asking the

names of bus stops.

Can you recognise him?

- Why not... looks a strange sort,

keeps his head shaven,

has a long scar on the head.

Every morning at ten, he takes

the bus from Hiranandani.

It's nine.

We got an hour to get him. Come on.

Take camera

Bus 392

There he goes.

Hey...

Damn it.

See you in the canteen after the lecture.

Excuse me... excuse me, sir...

Hi sir! I'm Sunita.

Sunita. Final year medical student.

You don't know me.

But I know you.

Can I talk to you for

two minutes... please?

As a medical student,

I want to know how...

Camera beeps

What's that?

My camera.

Why is it beeping?

It buzzes every 15 minutes.

So that I can take photos...

of important things, people...

to inscribe on them, to remember.

On photos?

Yes.

What are you doing?

Making notes...

Tear it out, throw it away. Do it.

Can I see a photo?

My watchman

My doctor

My manager

My building

Hiranandani? Do you live there?

Yes.

Can I ask...

how you got injured in the head.

My professor told me

about some accident.

Do you remember anything

about the incident?

Yes

What happened?

Who hit you?

We aren't friends enough for me

to confide in you.

Sorry sir... sorry.

I'd like to meet you again.

Take my photograph...

I'll use it to remind you

when we meet again.

One more...

one for you and one for me.

I hope I'm a friend now?

Please write on it "My Friend".

Thanks.

The next time we meet,

I'll show this to you.

You think the police is incompetent?

My name is Sanjay.

Sanjay Singhania.

Business is my passion,

it's also my job.

My dad dreamt of turning the enterprise

into India's largest cellphone company.

His dream is now my purpose.

And I'll leave nothing undone

in order to achieve it.

I live in Mumbai.

My mother was born in this city.

I share a bond with this city.

Here we are, in Air Voice.

In my office.

And they are my most trusted employees.

Dad said, put all your emotions into work,

don't get emotional about it.

Across India,

we're targeting a 500 million

subscriber base.

Are you shocked?

I can achieve it.

And I'm not being vain,

I'm just confident.

It's a fine line between

vanity and confidence.

That I can achieve,

speaks my confidence.

Only I can achieve,

would speak of my vanity.

We need confidence,

let's build on it.

Kindly leave vanity outside office.

Thank you.

Swing in the rhythm

"Jhoom jhamak jhoom"

Tap out the beat

"Tum tamaak tum"

Hey kiddo!

Hey kiddo,

you better hear

Right from my heart,

here's the order

Just live it up,

there are no limits,

no borders

There's a heady cocktail,

in wines of merriness

If you got a taste for life,

toe the line of happiness

Listen, here's the secret

There's no life in EMls,

take a deep breath

Don't you hold back,

just give it away

Why hide in hearts,

what you can say

Sing and smile,

it's what life teaches

Swing it, beat it,

we aren't hostages

Swing in the rhythm of

"Jhoom jhamak jhoom"

Tap out the beat

"Tum tamaak tum"

Ride the rhythm of waves,

abreast all tides and ebbs

Swing it, give it a shake

[Skipped item nr. 182]

The call sheet said nine o'clock.

You're in at ten thirty!

Everyone's waiting.

So much traffic today...

Don't make excuses.

Can I go for lights?

Rub and scrub...

The yellow just,

Camera pan.

Sparkling white in One Rupee.

Gleaming, glistening whites

Kalpana!

on this road.

Are all six hoardings available?

Next choice?

This one...

a hoarding on the terrace...

will be visible from the fly-over.

Looks okay to me.

Who lives here?

- A girl. Kalpana. We can approach her.

Do that.

Now what?

- Battery problem.

What's going on?

Now it's the battery...

Excuse me, can we talk to Kalpana-madam?

- Kalpana isn't "madam". Plain Kalpana.

And you are...?

- We're from Air Voice.

I'm Mr Sanjay Singhania's

executive assistant.

Air Voice?

Myself, Satveer Kohli.

I run this ad film company.

We've done a range of ads...

soaps, oils, toothbrushes, digestive pills.

Our latest was Monkey Brand toothpowder.
