Not digit azygos scene seems to be in waste and every sequence seems to kudos the plot of the film.

Performances of Ghajini
Asin looks refreshing and beautiful. She infuses chronicle in Ghajini, so to feature with her cherubic, chirpy role. In fact, Asin is the most communicatory character in the film, while Aamir is the least. Asin looks curvy, matronly and 'real' compared to the dead size zeroes cutting a sorry figure in Bollywood. Asin is quite comfortable in the role of Kalpana, which she has essayed for the second time. Her concealment presence is remarkable; you miss her foamy presence after she dies in the film.
The villain Pradeep Rawat is menacing and good sufficiency for you to hate him. The lifeline of Ghajini is volcano of volatile talent-Aamir Khan. He fits the character like a glove and he is remarkably efficient in both the aspects of his character-the owner of Air Voice Mobile madly in love with Asin and also as the sufferer character, who cannot remember anything beyond 15 minutes.
