Janbaaz (1986)

Charming and brutal

Better Late Then Never

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Watchable 80s Hindi masala film. It is clichéd but watchable, yet another cops and criminals script made watchable by earnest performances. There are no acting standouts and Anil Kapur looks awfully green (suiting his role). Feroz Khan looks his age. Songs are nice. Very long but watchable.6/10

Feroz Khan after Qurbani came back with Jaanbaaz where the aged and overweight FK plays the lead(predictabily), we have Anil Kapooor play a playboy, while Dimple Kapadia thrown in in between, Also we have a subplot with Sridevi(as she rejected Dimple's role) The film has a good plot and it's well handled,the way Anil transforms is well handled. It also has a very criticised sex scene involving Anil and Dimple The film brings back Shakti Kapoor as the villain. It also has Amrish Puri in a semi negative role Here too we have expensive sets, item numbers with international artists and a violent end where the other hero diesDirection by FK is good Music was a big hit, Har Kisi Ko is still remembered, Jab Jab is another superb song Feroz Khan looks aged and wrinkled and is as usual Dimple Kapadia is good, Anil Kapoor is good too in his role Shakti Kapoor repeats his Qurbani act, Amrish Puri is good too Sridevi sizzles in a brief role rest are okay

Well Guys ! this flick is a Basic feroz khan one. If u watch bollywood movies then u'd know. He was greatly influenced by Cowboy movies and calls his home RANCH (yeah thats true).The movie is about Drug Paddllers and A cop with a Love story woven into. There's vendetta as well. Not much of a plot really but MAN...this movie is stylish in a cult sort....U like A Shouting John Wayne...u'd like Word Chewing Feroz Khan and well U'd not Seen Anil Kapoor yet....nice performance....i dnt say that its a Award Winner...but its a got its own good things.... ....Music...Photography....Style....

As a fan of Bollywood in general, this is easily one of the worst I've ever seen. Its only redeeming features are a couple of good songs, and the unintentional laughs you get from the cheesy production. The director also plays a leading role in the film, and his performance and direction are both equally inept. One example of the ridiculous clichés indulged in "Janbaaz" is how every time a gunshot is fired, the actor twirls the pistol back into his holster like a Hollywood cowboy. The film's only remarkable feature is that, unlike any other Bollywood feature I've seen, it shows a pair of lovers actually kissing on the lips! Very risqué!! With a running time of almost three hours, you should not waste your time unless you get your kicks from making fun of bad movies.
