Ek Ajnabee

First of all it is a plagiarized movie – from Denzel Washington's "Man on Fire'. But let us put that aside since many Hindi movies are photocopies. (Some are 'inspired' but the bulk are total rehashes with not an iota of conscience.) So having put that to rest let us see if the movie stands on its own feet. Swish-swish editing - seems like an editor gone mad. Scenes from the future coming before, scenes from the past repeated ad nauseum - same takes get featured again and again, totally irrelevant to the story. Obviously the director is clueless about what it takes to tell a story in a celluloid medium. Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost was bad - Ek Ajnabee is pathetic. With a cast of hams - Arjun Rampal(leading the pack), Perizaad Zorabian, Vikram Chatwal, Kelly Dorje and a whole host of insignificant actors. But never mind – what about the Big B?? You can flog him all you want; flaunt his talents but sir we are disappointed since you involve yourself with such low-grade productions.

After seeing lot of comedy crapers over the past few weeks, this one was a surprise. I had not watched even the trailer of the movie.

The movie was very good till interval and was decent after the interval. Amitabh has given another good performance, I must say he looked great throughout the movie. The child actress was another high point of the movie, she will linger on to your memory even after leaving the theater.

The movie is completely set in Bankok and main theme involves around kidnapping business in the city. It is not a flawless movie, Amitabh alone is worth the money spent. Don't miss it.

On it's own it's a nice movie to watch. I don't understand some people whom seems to bother about every aspect of a movie. remember just judge the result on excitement,thrills and it's well balanced storyline without making any comparisons.

I saw both movies and i like both of them. Both had great actor cast with also good acting, though this one had an other plot twist.

Arjun acts natural and convincing, Big B did a good job, it's cinematographicaly beautiful and the song 'ek ajnabee' is a nice addition. One thing fascinates me in Indian movies regarding kids: why do Indian filmmakers always cast kids who are suffering from heavy weights? Is it nowadays still believable to promote fat kids as symbol for prosperity?

The Indian version of Man On Fire. I loved Man On Fire - but I don't love this film. Ek Ajnabee is disappointing, the performances, music, script, and directing were all poor. The stunts were a good point of the movie, if not the only point.

Amitabh Bachchan did a good performance, to an extent. His chemistry with the little girl, Rucha Vaidya was well done, and they obviously had a connection. The little girl impressed me, though there were times her voice irritates you, as it is high and very squeaky. Nevertheless she does a nice job, for her age. Perizaad Zorabian, Arjun Rampal, and Kelly Dorjee make forgettable appearances.

The music is one of the best things about the film, but there aren't many songs. And thank god there were no song and dance sequences, they would have looked atrocious.

Ek Ajnabee is a film you will regret seeing.

Black - Waqt - Sarkar - Viruddh Big B has given another dashing performance in this "Ek Ajnabee" I thought plot was wafer thin. But then some twists in the 2nd half made it really interesting. Big B is awesome. Arjun Rampal fits in his negative role. Perizaad Zoraban is perfect as kids mother. But I must say Two Show Steallers were Big B and the Kid. She was super. Adorable acting by her. Sanjay's Song is wasted. Good that no songs as script really does not allow you this.

Thailand locales are good. Shot Nicely.

I give 7 out of 10. More for power packed performances. Big B in action role after a long gap. Last was "Kaante" so I say go watch it if you have not yet.
