Featured reviews
Rajkumar Kohli made famous movies during 1970's . His movies like Naagin (1976) and ironically same title Jaani Dushman (1979) were extremely successful since they were multistarrers with Horror as the theme.
He clubbed the two scripts and made this film as his son's Launchpad in 2002. His son had delivered plenty of flop films before this movie and had ensured to the audience that he is a terrible actor.
He was cast as the Antagonist in this film and the starcast including fantastic actors like Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi , Suniel Shetty and many more had to fight Armaan Kohli who was a combination of Naagin + Terminator and Matrix Reloaded.
The film proves the point that in the Hindi film industry these kids of Producers land with meaty roles and spoil a movie experience.
If they want to spend their fathers money. They would rather go on exotic holidays and save us from the horror of watching their acting on screen. A disappointing film that turns out to be unintentionally funny. An action packed horror film that will make you laugh .

If you have seen this movie, then you will know that it is one of the worst Bollywood movies ever made. Bollywood is known to copy Hollywood movies. Who would of known that they will copy Terminator 2. The difference between both Film industries are Hollywood spends millions and Bollywood spends 100 thousands (Average). Thats the problem with this film, if you want to make a T2 style movie, then do it properly. The director added a bogus fantasy storyline about a reincarnated snake who finds his long lost girl (in the previous birth) dead by 2 guys, but the blame goes to 10 people. She suddenly reincarnates into a ghost and together they want to kill the 10 people they blame for her death. Not to mention, the Reincarnated snake guy or villain has some kind of super powers. He can transform into anything, he can fly, disappear, fire power, wind power, you name it, he has it. He even gets bazookered and survives the T1000 style. You are probably wondering how he survives. its best not to ask, and its best not to waste time and money on this movie. Its Best just to forget this film even came out. I think its a shame to use a big starcast for this outrageous movie with a nonsense storyline.
Mish mash of all Hindi and Hollywood action & emotion packed dramas. A complete waste of 3 hours of your precious time! The whole story flows in fits and starts. The only acting that was happening was that all the actors were making weird faces at the camera and screaming most of the time. Due to the number of stars, maybe all the stars were allotted some screen time randomly and the movie was assembled and shown to the public. The SFX were cheap and jarring. Acting was of the poorest quality. Songs were painful, though one was supposedly comical (Javed Bhai So Rele Hai).
All this just to re-launch a star son devoid of any acting talent. It just wasn't a horror movie, it was horrible.
Watch it if you want to see the worst Hindi movie ever made. If not, then steer clear...

It is heart breaking for me that this movie didn't got even a single nomination for any award.
Armaan Kohli and Sonu Nigam ..salute for your acting skills.Aditya Pancholi truly an icing on the cake.
The reason I am giving this movie a single star is I couldn't understand this movie even now as this movie really is Father of inception..Thanks for making such a great and path defining movie.
An insane assault on viewers senses. This is a mish-mash of assorted Hindi and English movies - poorly done. The name carries over from a 70s' multi star cast, which the 2002 version also boasts of. The story is taken from the 70s' Sunil Dutt/Reena Roy starrer - "Nagin" and visual effects taken (a horrible attempt) from The Matrix, Terminator 2 and Mission Impossible II.
Set in a college environment (Sunil Shetty, Akshaye Kumar, Manisha - college kids!!!???!!), Manisha Koirala is the victim, who mistakes a fatal assault on her by two students as a collective effort on the part of our heros. As it turns out Manisha is a Cobra (Nag) snake reborn as a girl in this life and her mate from the previous life, now a super powerful-all-and-any-shape-assuming (Ichadhari Nag) - Munish Kohli, is out looking for her in this life. Manisha appeals to him to avenge her violation and murder.
So begins the mad killing spree, where the avenging lover starts singling each male of the group, with increasing powers and tricks with successive attempts. The effects are extremely cheap, with computer generated skeletons, morphing bodies and motorcycle stunts completing the farce.
Carry over from Nagin includes Raj Babbar playing a catholic priest who provides temporary relief to our boys with a more "Religiously correct" multi-religion locket (the original Nagin only had an "Om") . Sunny Deol plays Manisha's love interest in her current life and the ultimate saviour against the all powerful Munish Kohli.
Music and songs are below average.
Avoid if you don't fancy cheap thrills.
