Ajnabee (2001)

Crappy film

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I totally had a huge blast watching this film it was superb don't miss it Interesting plot,direction is best, music is always great to listen Akshay steals the show in his villain character I totally loved his performance well done Kumar! Bobby was good too, the heroines performances were not bad Jonny lever is funny comedian as always the fighting scenes were too good and worth watching overall this movie rating for me is 8/10 or 4/5 stars The both directors did the best job this is one of their super-hit movies ever

Abbas-Mastan's movies are known to make suspense thrillers. Although the topic of wife swapping was a new theme for Indian Cinema.Ajnabi too is a copy of Hollywood flick 'Consenting Adults' (1992) staring Kevin Spacey, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Kevin Kline.Abbas-Mastan are known to lift stories from Hollywood movies.Right from 'Bazzigar' (1993) to 'Race' (2007) are all copies. They try very hard though to add some Bollywood tinge, and get away very easily.And in the process have won quite few awards successfully. There is nothing wrong to draw inspiration, but making straight copies frame to frame is not good.

I liked the music, I liked the acting, and I liked the movie. But it wasn't anything special. Strictly mediocre. The beginning of Ajnabee had to be the best part. Wife-swapping, drinking, sex and a lot of crime fills the rest. I thought the best performance was from Akshay Kumar, I don't usually like his films but he was pretty strong in this one. (Though Akshay licking Kareena's lips nearly had me gouging my eyes out.) Bobby Deol does an acceptable job and Kareena is also quite good I admit. Bipasha looked right for her part and fitted in nicely, I thought she was a good Soniya. I really liked the music, especially Mehbooba Mehbooba, which was really catchy. Good for timepass. An okay thriller.

Of all the Bollywood-films I've seen, "Ajnabi" is one of the mediocre ones. The songs didn't work for me, the tension was flat and the actors were average. Bipashu Basu made a gorgeous debut, but that's about it. Oh and the comic relief was bad. Really.But, as many Bollywood films do, this one has some scenes in Switzerland. Actually about 50% of the movie takes place somewhere in the country. I don't want to blame the film because many movies treat geography rather loose, but "Ajnabi" is a hoot on that level. I'll start with the policemen. They swap languages in every scene - from English to German to French. Trust me, I know that Switzerland has a French part, but then the Police-cars should be labeled "Police" not "Polizei" - the film does it vice versa: In Luzern (German speaking part. With many *bad* extras!), no police car would be labeled "Police".The funniest stuff is in the court room sequence. This doesn't look like a Swiss court room at all, but I didn't mind. Then, Raj jumps out of the window and runs. He runs through streets with many Asian looking people. Tourists perhaps? Well, even some Chinese signs. And what's that? A subway? There aren't any subways in Switzerland! Wow! It's Singapore! He ran around the world in a couple of seconds, hunted by Swiss policemen. Well, what shall I say ... I had great fun with stuff like this.But the film itself is mediocre, so I give it a5/10
