access by her professor to the curious case of Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan), a
man reported to have anterograde amnesia, because it is under criminal
investigation, Sunita decides to investigate the matter herself.It is revealed
that Sanjay loses his memory every 15 minutes. He uses a system of photographs,
notes, and tattoos to recover his memory after each cycle to remind himself of
his mission: to avenge the death of his beloved Kalpana (Asin). He systematically
kills the people who were tied to the murder. His main target is Ghajini
(Pradeep Rawat), a notable social personality in the city, and the man directly
responsible for Kalpana's death and Sanjay's condition.Police inspector Arjun
Yadav (Riyaz Khan) tracks Sanjay down and hits him unconscious. Yadav finds two
diaries in which Sanjay has chronicled the events of 2005 and 2006. The film
flashes back to 2005 as Yadav reads the diary. Sanjay Singhania is the chairman
of the Air Voice mobile telephone company. In the course of business, he sends
his men to meet Kalpana, a struggling model of Mumbai, about putting up a
billboard above her apartment. The owner of Kalpana's advertising firm
misinterprets this as a romantic advance and, in view of a possible lucrative
Air Voice ad campaign, encourages Kalpana to accept the overture. Kalpana
thinks of it as an innocent prank that may fetch her better modelling work and
decides to charade as Sanjay's girlfriend. Sanjay goes to confront Kalpana
about this but falls in love with her at first sight. He hides his identity and
introduces himself as Sachin, and the two begin spending time together. The
diary ends with Sanjay proposing to Kalpana and promising himself that he will
reveal his actual identity if she acceptsAs Sunita reads the diaries, the film
flashes back to 2006, where it is revealed that Kalpana had accepted Sanjay's
proposal. When this diary ends abruptly, Sunita digs further and discovers that
Kalpana was travelling to Goa for a modelling assignment when she came upon 25
innocent young girls being trafficked. She had saved the girls, who named
Ghajini as the ringleader of the racket. Outraged, Ghajini broke into Kalpana's
apartment with his goons to kill her. When Sanjay arrived, he found Kalpana
stabbed. Ghajini then hit Sanjay over the head with an iron rod. Sanjay's last
sight was Ghajini brutally murdering Kalpana with the iron rod. Kalpana's last
word to Sanjay was "Ghajini."The film ends with a still-amnesiac
Sanjay volunteering at an orphanage. Sunita gives him a gift that reminds him
of his bond with Kalpana, and Sanjay imagines Kalpana by his side, finally at
peace with himself.Ghajini was released on 25 December 2008 with an estimated
