Ghajini is no Memento

Before I watched Ghajini, I was told that it bears a close resemblance to Memento. Having seen both movies now, I can safely say that to compare Memento to Ghajini is like comparing a Mercedes Benz to a Maruti 800. Yes there are similarities but I guess that's obvious - after all a Maruti 800 has wheels and so does a Benz. Now I don't say you shouldn't watch Ghajini. Its a nice simple movie - boy meets girl; girl gets killed by goon; boy loses short term memory; but finally this is an Hindi movie - so all ends well when he kills the goon. If you've watched Memento, the 90 minute story is far more complex than the simple one that Ghajini tells in a 180. Christopher Nolan expects to leave you in a daze when the movie gets over. Ghajini, on the other hand is a pretentious action film, where you can predict the end, the moment you understand the protagonist's objective.

I have just one piece of advice -- watch Ghajini if you want to. If you've watched Memento however, expect no parallels because they're completely different.
