One of the favourite 90's Classic movies

This probably one of the best 90's movies of all time . I don't know why it is so underrated there..

Cult classic

It's one of those movies which u love it or hate it. Remember this movie came in 1991, and was made on limited technical skills India had. For me it's a classic. Smart story, impressive direction and good vision, action drama comedy thrills everything is there. And songs and dance sequences with some memorable numbers. The pairing of actors and their on screen chemistry is amazing to watch. Rishi Kapoor probably is at his best comic sidekick ever. The only thing went against fo me is I wasn't satisfied. If made today it wld become a trilogy. How can u replace Amitabh, rishi Kapoor, dimple, Sonam, Shammi Kapoor, timeless Ariadna( the queen) , Sayed jafree, and villan of all villains, the great Amrish Puri. What a movie. It's right there in my all time top 10s.

Truly a Great Classic

Ajooba is actually one of the only good Indian movies ever. My brother and I had watched this movie when we were very little and still enjoy its classic and very adventurous themes. The acting in Ajooba is like that of most 1990's Indian movie (maybe better). An up-side to this classic is that it stars many well known and good Indian actors such as Amitab Bachan. The one thing that attracted me to the movie was an outstanding setting in a desert; making it relate to the old "Arabian" tales such as Aladdin which are recognized world-wide for their adventure, love, and humor. The theme of a betrayed pure good fighting ruthless bad catches my eyes as one of the many beauties of Ajooba. Although it maybe lagging in FX (c'mon, 1991), it is a story, that if understood, catches the hearts and ears of its viewers.

A very entertaining Movie ..

Ajooba is indeed a very entertaining movie of its time,but unfortunately didn't get that respect ! It has to be taken into consideration that it was released way back when technology was probably not that advanced , so the special effects are not that satisfactory .But the movie itself is no doubt entertaining and well directed .. all characters have done justice to their characters ..music is good .. Amitabh Sir , Rishi Sir and Amrish Sir are fantastic and are a treat to watch.. over all a very good entertainer...

One of the worst all-time Hindi movies ever...

A complete zero out of four. One worst sums up Ajooba: awful. Actually, more words come to mind: ridiculous, third-rate, and terrible. This is one of Amitabh's worst movies ever, he prances around in a cheap leather jacket and equally cheap tinsel foil Zorro-style mask with what appears to be wings on the sides.

The movie is set in ancient Persia or Arabia and is characteristically un-historical for an Indian movie. As stated above, a leather jacket from K-Mart with velcro straps did not exist 400 years ago, unless all my history teachers were wrong.

Rishi also does his patented cross-dressing in this movie. Far from being funny, it is very embarassing to watch. What could possess the son of the legendary Raj Kapoor to flay the memory of his house like this on screen?

On the plus side, if you want a real laugh, go ahead and watch this film. The glaring inconsistencies in the plot and costumes are no match for the awful dialogues and shoddy acting.

After producing good award winning movies like Junoon, Kalyug, 36 Chowrignee Lane, Vijeyta & Utsav, Shashi Kapoor lost all his money in these films, as these films brought him only awards in India and abroad but no rewards especially Utsav it put him in a huge debt. He decided that he had enough and has to make a big masala commercial film with big starcast to pay all the debts and to recover all his money back. He planned Ajooba, Shashi Kapoor wanted a big major director, he asked his elder brother Raj Kapoor to direct it but Raj Kapoor, because of health problems he refused, then he approached Manmohan desai but he had retaired, then Amitabh and Jaya bachchan convinced to Shashi Kapoor to direct the film himself and they had assured him that he can direct it confidently and successfully, so Shashi Kapoor toghether with his old friends Prayag Raj, Bharat Bhalla and Brit Katyal worked on the script and Shashi Kapoor made Ajooba, it took about 3 years to get made but the gamble paid, slowly he paid everyone his money back and he recovered all his money back. Shashi Kapoor dint want to hear about good cinema again and stopped making movies.
