'Ghajini' to be screened in English subtitles

Mumbai, Dec 26 (PTI) Superstar Aamir Khan's latest
film 'Ghajini' will now be available in English subtitles
making it accessible to hearing-impaired persons and non-Hindi
speaking audience as well.

The film, which stars Aamir Khan and South Indian
actress Asin in lead, is a story of a man suffering from short
term memory loss.

The two cinema halls --Big Cinemas Wadala and Metro
Big Cinemas-- will screen the film with English subtitles in
the second week, which will make it more accessible to the
hearing-impaired persons and non-Hindi speaking moviegoers.

"This will ensure that the cinema medium can be
enjoyed more completely by a larger number of the public,
especially the hearing impaired who could not earlier
understand the dialogues," said Tushar Dhingra, Chief
Operating Officer, Big Cinemas in a release.

The much awaited film, the story of a man with short
term memory loss on a mission to avenge the death of his
fiancee, opened to a "bumper" response in India and 22
countries worldwide.

The advance booking for the film is four times more
than the record opening any movie has ever got, Khan said.

According to trade sources, the film has been released
with nearly 1,500 prints. The paid previews all over India
yesterday have boosted its box office collections, they said.
