Author: silvan-desouza from India

Abbas-Mustan has made several good entertaining and thrilling films like KHILADI(1992), BAAZIGAR(1993)

though most were remakes yet their thrillers were mostly shocking and their twist in the climax would really leave a jolt

However in AJNABEE they go completely wrong

They try to startle by using a bold topic(at least for indians) but sadly there is no content

The plot is revealed in the climax and except a few good twists nothing of the rest really jolts

The start is extremely boring, till Akshay reveals the plan to bobby which sadly already was shown on the TV The film still manages to hook you till the interval after which the film becomes a typical Hindi film

The killer himself admits he is the villain at the start of the second half and worst is the film moves in the most predictable fashion though there are a few jolts but sadly there are too many flaws to overlook

The escape of Bobby from the court is hilarious while the entire game Bobby plays is too easy and the finale too is contrived

Direction by Abbas Mustan is ordinary Music is good

Akshay in his 3rd negative role( after AFLATOON and KHILADI 420) does his part well(though now he has come a long way) Bobby Deol is average to below average Kareena annoys Bipasha makes a good debut Amongst rest Dalip Tahil is bad, Johny Lever and the entire gang should be wiped out from the film
