****Worth a watch*********
Although Ghajini is a scene by scene copy of Tamil Superhit Ghajini it is certainly worth a watch. Aamir Khan has done a good job with his herculean body suits pretty well. The Tamil director who has directed the Hindi version as well has managed to keep the audience on the feet. Asin is superb with her acting and her simpleness. Jiah Khan does not have any special thing to offer. The scenes are well placed. Songs could have been reduced and just makes the audience lose grip of the film. Villains do look serious but make us laugh.
Overall a good rating

HINDI MOVIE - MAHARATHI
Starring - 4 Legends - Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri and Boman Irani
Rating: Good
I can assure yoiu can watch the movie once atleast for the presence of all legendary actors,. Even if some might be wasted in it. Inspired by Uttam Gada's gujrathi Play this movie provides curiosity to the viewers. However its difficult to match pace of Plays with films
Its not a perfect films and has lot of ups and downs.
The story goes Paresh Rawal wants to be successful in films. One night, he saves a man's life. He brings him home who is Naseeruddin Shah who is a rich man Soon enough, Subhash (Paresh Rawal) is hired by the grateful Adenwalla (NS) as his driver. The evil wife, Mallika [Neha Dhupia], hates Subhash for his proximity to her husband.
Subhash is now firmly ensconced in Adenwallas' house and discovers his wife's evil designs. On the other hand, Adenwalla, driven to the point of insanity by his money-hungry wife, decides to take the ultimate revenge. NS commits suicide . Subhash takes this as an opportunity to get rid himself of a lifetime of middle class mediocrity and poverty. He teamups with Mallika to get all the money and property. They have a caretaker [Tara Sharma], with the help of their family lawyer Mr. Merchant [Boman Irani], to be a witness to an ailing Mr. Adenwalla's presence in the house. But their plans are shattered with the arrival of ACP Gokhale [Om Puri] and Inspector Borkar [Vivek Shauq] into the picture.
Director Shivam Nair has shot the film well, but he should have opted for a far more convincing screenplay. There are no songs in the movie

Inconsistent script is the drawback of the movie however MAHARATHI has several well-executed sequences which could have been a treat to watch with a stronger script
Overall, MAHARATHI arouses some curiosity but is lead down by the script
