Infotech reports: "Now that the producers of "Ghajini" have claimed to make profits of more than Rs 1 billion in the first five days of its release, it's time to move the film's success to another level.
A PC game, named Ghajini The Game, featuring Aamir Khan, is ready to hit the market this week. Earlier the video game was scheduled to hit the market a month before the "Ghajini" release.
"But we wanted to polish it up more, and use it as a USP after the film's release when audiences are really interested in the chase aspect of the plot that manoeuvres the game," says "Ghajini" producer Madhu Mantena.
Designed by Shashi Reddy, chairperson of FX Labs and Ghajini's co-producer Madhu Mantena, Ghajini The Game was executed at a cost approximately Rs 30 million."
TT writes: "t's not everyday that one comes across a game based on a Hindi movie, which in turn is based on a Tamil movie that was inspired from an English film. Ghajini the game is based on the Blockbuster Hindi film, Ghajini, starring Aamir Khan and is a worthy effort from FX Labs, the developers of the game. Now let me clarify a few things before there is a major flame war. As a gamer I think the game needs a lot of fine-tuning and technically the game needs at least a year of refinement, but I also feel that FX Labs in on the right track. Let's get into the game's details."
GameGuru writes: "I managed to lay my hands on Ghajini a week back, two weeks after it was released to be precise. Ever since I started playing this game, people have been asking me what I thought about it. Not just Indians mind you, but even a few friends abroad who are interested in Indian gaming scene.
After all, India is supposed to be pretty good at churning out cheap yet good stuff. My previous article on Ghajini only added to the interest. But all I have said about the game is that it was kind of ironical."
Reuters writes: "A hit Bollywood thriller about a man with short-term amnesia has inspired India's first 3D videogame, in a country where the animation and gaming industry has been slow to grow but could touch $1.3 billion this year.
The PC game, based on the Hindi-language film "Ghajini," was launched in India this month and will be marketed worldwide as well by Indian film distributor Eros International PLC."
