Ek Ajnabee, is a Straight derivation of "Man on Fire" staring Denzel Washington & directed by Tony Scott (The Fan). Moreover, 80% of the movie is scene to scene copy of the Hollywood original. At the End, the movie is badly screwed as thats the only part which is altered.
The only 2 Good points about the movie is : 1. The New-Age Snap-Shot Editing & Sleek-Stylish Camera works which of course is a patent mark of Tony Scott. But we relish this the style adapted in Indian cinema. The last such good Photography-Editing work we saw was in Kaante. 2. Amitabh Bachchan. He is amazing and has a massive screen presence.
This film shall be liked only by the Hardcore fans of Amitabh. The Action scenes, guns, explosives, etc. are just splendid. Bangkok is Shot & Photographed absolutely brilliantly. The various Locations were selected perfectly.
But I would say that there were many loose ends even in "Man on Fire" which the director could have corrected in Ek Ajnabee. But he did'nt whereas, he only altered the End which was highly ridiculous & senseless.
Since the film is based on a story in Bangkok, the film makers of course needed their masses to understand. So what happens.... all the bad guys who are Thai, can speak Hindi !!!! to justify further, the film makers make all the Thai Characters half Indian & half Thai Origin !!! & they can speak Hindi. Wow !! C'mon now, we are on a trend of listening English....Black & Salam Namaste did work ! did'nt they ? Secondly, you find that there were more conspirators involved in the Girl's kidnapping than the actual Kidnappers !!! So there are Bad Guys who actually kidnapped the girl & there are guys who took part in that conspiracy.... 1. Girl's own father 2. Girl's family Lawyer 2. Chief Inspector of Police &&&&&&&& One more who gets revealed in the most ludicrous Suspense of this year.
One Surprise.... Perizad Zorabian is amazing in this film. She did a real good act.
Finally, This film is worth only seeing Amitabh Bachchan & the Trendy Photography - Fast Pace Editing with a psychedelic Background music score, reason to create a good impact on the audiences.
My rating 5/10
