Ek Ajnabee Movie Review

Starring
Amitabh Bachchan    .... Suryaveer Singh
Perizaad Zorabian    ....  Nikasha
Vikram Chatwal        ....  Ravi

Director : Apoorva Lakhia 

This is a compelling story of Suryaveer Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), a misfit in society who finally finds redemption in the smile of a little girl. His life and luck changes when he has to protect the child.

In a strange city, he stands alone devoid company. Anamika (Baby Rucha Vaidya) is kidnapped. Suryaveer is felled by the kidnappers bullets and critically injured.

Anamika's wealthy father Ravi (Vikram Chatwal) realizes that no money is enough to save his daughter. Her helpless mother Nikasha (Perizaad Zorabian) hopes that her prayers will somehow be answered.

Ek Ajnabee - The Family

Only Suryaveer knows something that they don't. That he alone possesses the expertise to bring the little girl back. With tenacity and wisdom, he pieces together random clues and penetrates to the very heart of the conspiracy.

Alone in a foreign land, he can trust no one. He needs all his commando instincts to track them and stay alive. As the story unfolds, he is shattered at what he discovers. Neither men or guns can stop him.

Bloodied but unbowed, his resolve remains unchanged - to find Anamika come what may.

The highlights:

1. Mr Amitabh Bachchan rocks! He is UNarguably one of the best actors in the world.

2.The way wrong-doers are executed are funny and hilarious at times and totally brutal rest of the times. Most of us would find these executions by Mr Bachchan’s character amusing.

3. Apoorva as a director is almost there. He has, sadly, missed the bus as the writer. He has given movie the feel that is international in bits and entertaining on the whole. Music score may not be very original but complements the mood.

4. All actors have done well. They convey their emotions properly though one may argue that it makes you easier to guess who the real culprit may be. Full points to director again.

The story telling is not all that great. Normally people see direction only as story telling but what really director does is maintain the overall conceptual integrity of the movie and makes sure that actors act well and in conformity with the ’screenplay’.

Second half tends to slow down in most movies nowadays. This is because the stories if directed at good pace would not last more than 1 hour 30 mins but an average audience wants ’paisa wasool’ so producers want it to be 2 hours at the least.

Entertaining fare. Though a bit weak on story telling (read screenplay) front this movie is watchable and likable for Amitabh Bachchan’s sterling performance.
