The name ABBAS-MUSTAN always gives avid bollywood fans a sense of pride as the duo have given us nothing short of occasional thrillers like BAAZIGAR and SOLDIER.They have also shown us the multifaceted acting potential of a man called SRK.So,a movie from them is definitely an occasion to go to the theatres.Well,Ajnabee is not. 

                 Ajnabee as the word suggests is about a stranger,in fact 2 of them and is shot exclusively in SWITZERLAND.Oh,the same old place!Again,the duo weaves a surprise as switzerland for the 1st time does not seem to be packed with junctions where the hero and heroine prance amidst numerous foreigners.But,and it is a long but,the versatility ends there.When the film starts with the titles being presented in a very chic fashion,we certainly have a few anticipations.The movie dissappoints us in that aspect. 

               Still,Ajnabee has got its own moments of suspense and we have a fairly good thriller.
The movie starts in india with kareena meeting bobby deol,exchanging the usual pleasantries and then getting married in a huff and moving to switzerland where bobby works as a polo instructor ,though he seems to be doing more of Kareena-smooching. 

               Then,suddenly we have the other couple,Akshaye Kumar and bipasha basu.They are filthy rich and get close with the other couple.Close to which extent is what the rest of the 1st half has to deal with. 
               

                The 2nd half begins with a murder.The night they swap their wives,bipasha gets killed.Bobby gets falsely implicated.Is he the true culprit?If not,who?Is it kareena,akshaye or johnny lever or anybody else for that matter?

                This is where the thrills start and the sparks fly.Mentioning more would as you guys have rihgtly guessed be an injustice to both the prospective viewers and the makers of the movie.The scenes at mauritius are also great.

                 Now,giving a mention about the acting,Bobby Deol is his usual self ,wooden expressions and all that but he is good in the stunt sequences.Kareena Kapoor to be sorry has been Extremely upstaged by the other heroine ,Bipasha Basu who looks nothing short of gorgeous in her G-string bikinis(courtesy,sabarinathan k.s).But,the surprise package for the movie is undoubtedly Akshaye who does a different character for the first time in his life,sorry,that would be a lie,but ,ok lets say in his career and has come up trumps.He has all chance for a filmfare.
