Comments

I hear alot of times people with lack of cultural knowledge and respect throwing gay comments on bollywood films. My lack of respect for these people is not, but neither do I think of them; nothing. Enyway, I havent seen alot of bollywood films, but I believe and found Ghajini balancing every aspect of movies I've seen in my life for 23 years. But I hear a remake of a tamil film (2005). Enyway congratulations on a hit, I fall in love with your women each and every time I see a bollywood film. And the guys, they really have muscles Hollywood actors cannot compare to. Befor ending this, I cannot se why the title is Gahjini? Why not Kalpana?
