Akshay Kumar's appearance makes it Awe-inspiring

No Spoilers! First of all, the main reason I added this movie to the watchlist is the Akshay Kumar's great meme. You know if you know. Anyways, it's the first picture added in the image list in the IMDb, so you can see it there. The movie started slow. Very slow. I hated the songs. 4 songs, some seemed highly unnecessary. Akshay Kumar enters late. But the movie takes pace since, takes meaning. Akshay Kumar was so sensational, he made his chemistry even with Bobby great along with the other two. Bobby was average. Bipasha was super hot. There were few exotic scenes in the movie, too much considering it was the very early 2000s. But not much at all in this era of web series n tv series. Akshay Kumar and Johnny lever added so much fun in the movie, they made it quite Entertaining. Yes, it was a thriller with comedy. Excellent last 60 minutes and the climax. Apart of the songs, and the initial romance, the movie was great. Enjoyed it. Recommended if a Bollywood fan.

Hollywood level thriller. Wasn't expected twist

Way ahead of his time.

Might be copied from some Hollywood flick but it takes courage to make such movie in that era in Bollywood when SRK's so called love story crap bandwagon was in hype

Mind blown when saw first time . What a twist !

Nothing new, nothing great, but not that bad either.

Another unoriginal fare by Abbas-Mastan, Ajnabee does work maybe because it was generally well made by the directors-brothers duo Abbas Mastan who often prefer to concentrate on the making of a film rather than invest time and write a new script. Well a job is a job and everyone is working for money, so remaking a foreign film is a much easier way to make money. Creativity/originality is not the word to describe this duo but they do manage to make an enjoyable flick every once in a while so let it be. Ajnabee is quite an interesting watch - it has good cinematography, very good editing, exceptional music, suitable actors and a very modern concept. The portrayal of Indians living in a foreign country is well done, the suspense is successful, and it uses the usual Bollywood clichés from time to time. The film is mainly surprising because of Akshay Kumar's shocking villainous turn (well if he had accepted the directors' early film Baazigar maybe things would have gone differently for him). He is convincing and wins most of the viewers' attention. It has a very lovely newcomer named Bipasha Basu who makes a confident debut. It also has an average Kareena Kapoor, a Bobby Deol (about him I don't have anything good or bad to say), and a hilarious Johnny Lever. I was annoyed at the beginning of the film to see Dalip Tahil who laughs and laughs for no reason - very disturbing. Anyway, you can try it if you like, it is a decent Indianised, fairly updated and changed version of Consenting Adults.

Average film, but great fun for someone who lives in Switzerland :)

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 a

5/10

Zitate
Raj Malhotra: [Upon grabbing Sharat Saxena's gun at Mink Brar's Zurich residence] Who the hell are you ?
Detective from insurance company: I should ask you the same. Who're you ?
Raj Malhotra: [In concealed anger] Don't waste my time. Just answer me or I'll shoot you.
Detective from insurance company: [Complying] I am an investigator for the insurance company which indemnified Sonia Bajaj. The payout of her policy to her husband Vikram, due today, is US$ 100 million.
Raj Malhotra: [Shocked realising Akshay Kumar's plot was about money] US$ 100 million ?
Detective from insurance company: [Explaining further] Yes, and as I mentioned today is the payout. I was suspicious of Vikram Bajaj from the very beginning of this case and thought I could try one last time to prohibit him from gaining the money. Unfortunately, I still don't have any concrete evidence to present to my company.
Raj Malhotra: [Believing there's still a chance] I can provide you with a clue.
[Hands over Mink Brar's boarding pass retrieved earlier]
Detective from insurance company: [Further suspicious of Kumar after seeing the boarding pass] Sonia Bajaj ? How can this be ? This is the same date she was murdered as per official police reports and she was in the city rather than coming in from anywhere as this ticket suggests.
Raj Malhotra: [Now more confident of Kumar's role in the crime] For this very reason I escaped to Zurich and came to this house. If I can get more evidence, your company will be saved from paying him this money and I can prove my innocence to the law enforcement.
Detective from insurance company: [Agreeing with Deol] Exactly, but first we'll have to ensure his payout is declined. Come with me to the insurance company office right now.
