Ghajini (pronounced [gadʐini]) is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language psychological action thriller film directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Salem Chandrasekharan. The film stars Suriya, Asin, Nayanthara and Pradeep Rawat. Harris Jayaraj composed the soundtrack and background music, while R. D. Rajasekhar and Anthony were the cinematographer and editor, respectively. In the film, a wealthy businessman develops anterograde amnesia due to a head injury he sustains while attempting to save his lover from getting murdered by a human trafficker. Remembering only that, he seeks to avenge her murder with the aid of photographs from an instant camera and permanent tattoos on his body. The film was primarily shot at Chennai, while two song sequences were filmed in Switzerland. It was released on 29 September 2005, and became a major commercial success. The film was remade into a Hindi film with the same name by Murugadoss again in 2008, with Asin and Rawat reprising their roles. The film's story takes inspiration from the Christopher Nolan film Memento (2000) and the 1951 film Happy Go Lovely.
