Ajnabee

Movie Review: Ajnabee
Starring:
Bobby Deol, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Bipasha Basu, Johny Lever, Dalip Tahil
Director:
Abbas-Mustan
Music:
Anu Malik
Lyrics: Sameer
  

Ajnabee is a suspense thriller that deals with the twist in the lives of two couples. Raj (Bobby Deol) meets Priya (Kareena Kapoor), they fall in love and get married. Raj gets selected as a coach for Polo Club in

Switzerland and so they move there. They meet another couple   Vicky (Akhshay Kumar) and Sonia (Bipasha Basu) in Switzerland, who happen to be their  immediate neighbour. The two couple become good friends and spend lot of time going out and partying together.On one instance when they all go out to Mauritius on a holiday, Vicky suggests Raj to swap wives. Earlier, Raj was not comfortable with Sonia as she had tried to seduce him but had ignored it totally keeping in mind their friendship. Now, after getting to know Vicky's evil intentions, he gets furious and has a hand to hand with Vicky thus compelling them to cut short their

holidays and return to Switzerland. On returning, Vicky and Sonia try their best to patch up with Raj and after much hesitation, he agrees. They all become friends again till Vicky mentions once again his idea of

swapping wives on the occasion of his birthday. Though Raj is quite high at the party, he still beats up Vicky but to his dismay finds Sonia in his room the next day morning and that too dead!! This is when all fingers point at him and he lands up in the custody of the police. He escapes and tries to gather evidence to prove his innocence and in the process of doing so finds  out the real murderer of Sonia. He is amazed by his finding and this is when the story gets really interesting especially seeing Sonia once again on the screen alive.

      
Ajnabee is yet another unusual and rare story by Abbas-Mustan. Their earlier releases like Khiladi,  Baazigar, Soldier  and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke  in the past have clearly shown their talent in making

movies with a new and rare storyline. The idea of swapping wives is very new to the Indian crowd and that would become a major drawback for this movie. Ajnabee is said to be inspired by the movie "Consenting adults". Anu Malik's music is good and shall certainly attract the crowd to the theatres, especially "Mehbooba mehbooba " sung by Sunidhi and Adnan Sami, the two most upcoming singers. "Mere zindagi mein " and "Mohabbat naam
hai  jiska
" are the second best. The picturisation of these songs are also

well-done. Performances by all the stars is as per expectation. Bipasha Basu deserves special mention as this happens to be her first movie. She has done a satisfactory job and has shown confidence. Johny

Lever is good at his comedy but the sequences of comedy are misplaced in the movie. Dalip Tahil isn't impressive. Unlike the earlier movies of Abbas-Mustan, the screenplay here is bad. The dialogues by Shyam Goel are well-penned. Cinematography is good being shot in the exotic locales of Switzerland and Mauritius.

Finally, all that can be said about Ajnabee is that though the duo of Abbas-Mustan have tried their hands on an extremely new subject and this very reason might become the stumbling block on its success path.
