OK, I would give this a 1, but I'm gonna give it a two because I laughed while watching this film...First of all, I can make a much better movie than this one...in a week...The special effects made this film look like a joke. One shouldn't make such films with horrible special effects because then people won't take it seriously. The acting and direction was also horrible. The screenplay had many plot holes and the whole film wasn't believable at all. This has to be the worst Indian film ever. The songs were also bad. The acting was bad and artificial. Need I say more. Don't watch this movie unless you are curious to see how bad it is. That's why I watched it. I am going into film and I wanted to see how bad a bad film can get. Trust me, I watched one of the worst films in history if not THE worst film.

I just want to start off the review by saying that Rajkumar Kohli is a multi star specialist as he made NAGIN (76), JAANI DUSHMAN (79), RAAJ TILAK (84) so a whole host of Bollywood actors coming to work in what IMDb users call "the worst film ever" is not surprise. But the fact that the directors son Armaan Kohli is in the movie takes us back to the 90s where Rajkumar repeatedly tried to launch his son but his sons career never rose. The crazier thing was that Rajkumar had cast him opposite famous stars to get him noticed but sadly nothing worked. A revamped version of the formula is evoked in Rajkumar Kohli's recent offering JAANI DUSHMAN: EK ANOKHI KAHANI
The film is a modern day version of NAGIN (no f****** idea where the original JAANI DUSHMAN came in except the place where Manisha gets raped) with Armaan's character being Terminator 2 and an Ichadari Nag which already sounds cool
Manisha is raped by two dudes and stabs herself then blames her friends (Rajat Bedi mimics everyone's voice on the phone). Enter Armaan who he and her were lovers centuries ago but an angry sage banished Manisha and said to Armaan he could reunite with her in the 21st century. Now he has but she dead. Now her ghost and Armaan will take revenge. But how? Well Manisha is a ghost and can go inside people and control them and do stuff while Armaan has developed super powers while waiting for Manisha like blowing sandstorms out of his mouth, turning into a bike, making knives out of his hands and do matrix stuff
The reason Manisha blames her friends is just unintentionally hilarious and would have worked in a comedy movie
Because IMDb users have ridiculed this movie so much I might as well reveal what happens
Who dies??
Rajat Bedi- Manisha turns into a skeleton (people said it was a ripoff of the mummy) ane throws him off a 20 storey building
Sharad Kapoor-Armaan turns into a bike and drives onto his neck
Arshad Warsi- thrown into a pool and electrocuted
Aditya pancholi- Manisha's ghost goes into Aftab and makes Aftab kill Aditya
Aftab Shidvasabi- Manisha ghost possessed him and made him kill Aditya but law and order wont believe this so they order him to get hanged
Sunil Shetty- Manisha goes inside him and throws him off a building
Akshay Kumar- now his death was the most annoying and sad as he delivers the best performance. Its true that Akshay is very likable in the movies that he dies in. Akshay fought with Armaan and due to a huge explosion went into a coma. When Sonu is last man standing Akshay wakes up and gets stabbed by Armaan then Armaan stomps on the knife. Then Akshay gets on a jetski to save Sonu and then choked by armaan underwater. But wait Akshay faked it and is still alive but oh no. He staggers to Raj Babbar and in a very sad and emotional scene, he dies. He should not have died and this was a complete misfire. He was the main dude and it would have made an awesome ending if he survived as well.
I have not mentioned Sunny Deol yet. Of course he is shown on the movie posters but he is just a guest appearance. He is supposed to be married to Manisha but he goes to London and Armaan comes in. Ugh. Sunny has an fight scene, goes London, phoned by his stepbrother Sonu to come and in a matter of minutes Sunny travels from London to Mumbai and in the climax saves his bro and kills Armaan.
Music: Chal Kudiye and Roop Salona Tere are the type of songs that uou feel you have heard of before and are enjoyable. The Jaaneman Tu Khub Hai song is OK and has too many costume changes. The Javed Bhai So Rele Hai song is just plain stupid.
Armaan Kohli is considered one of the worst actors of Bollywood. So him being the villain makes the audience hate him even more and that's why him being the villain works in this movie.
The heroines are ordinary and are just opportunities for Armaan and Manisha to kill the goodies.
In spite of the many flaws this movie can be quite enjoyable and definitely is a pulse pounding ride. -
mohitxy23 December 2020Could have been one of the best bollywood movie,but in place spending on star cast they have should have spend of vfx.Minus some cringe worthy dialogues and scenes.

imdb-1270411 March 2006This movie beats everything out there. Well, depends on what you are looking for... it could be a 10 or a 1 on the scale. This movie is in a complete league of its own.. I don't think any movie could possibly come close to it. I am not sure what the director intended to make it as.. a thriller or a comedy. If he did think he was making a thriller, then he has by a stroke of luck, created one of the best bollywood comedies of all time. You have to see it to believe it.. a matrix + terminator + a host of other movies rolled into one, along with a storyline dating back to 1980's Hindi movies, with a icchadhari naag (a mythical snake which can turn into a human).
Its an ideal movie if you are sitting with a bunch of friends with alcohol on the side, planning to laugh at the movie! I am not sure whether to give it a 1 or a 10.. On the basis of flipping a coin, I have decided to give it a 1! -
Li_859 June 2006If you have seen this movie, then you will know that it is one of the worst Bollywood movies ever made. Bollywood is known to copy Hollywood movies. Who would of known that they will copy Terminator 2. The difference between both Film industries are Hollywood spends millions and Bollywood spends 100 thousands (Average). Thats the problem with this film, if you want to make a T2 style movie, then do it properly. The director added a bogus fantasy storyline about a reincarnated snake who finds his long lost girl (in the previous birth) dead by 2 guys, but the blame goes to 10 people. She suddenly reincarnates into a ghost and together they want to kill the 10 people they blame for her death. Not to mention, the Reincarnated snake guy or villain has some kind of super powers. He can transform into anything, he can fly, disappear, fire power, wind power, you name it, he has it. He even gets bazookered and survives the T1000 style. You are probably wondering how he survives. its best not to ask, and its best not to waste time and money on this movie. Its Best just to forget this film even came out. I think its a shame to use a big starcast for this outrageous movie with a nonsense storyline.

Neo-2338 October 2003This movie made me laugh so much. It was a bloody joke to tell you the truth. So unbelievable and the worst plot ever. The acting as well was bad. I don't how come so many popular Bollywood actors and actresses took on to do this movie. The script must have been somewhat of a joke. The visual effects in this movie was excrutiatingly painful to watch. I believe that a kindergarten kid could have done a better job of the visual effect and a monkey could have done a better job of coming up with a plot.
The plot has numerous attempts at copying major Hollywood movies like The Terminator but it fails miserably. I laughed my head off seeing this movie. A total disaster in Indian cinema history! -
It seems that with this movie they wanted to get a Nobel Prize for being the pioneers of Worst Movie Making. A legendary low for Bollywood. I cannot believe they released this junk. It may sound paranoid but it seems this movie was deliberately thrust upon the masses to get some sort of psychological reaction and/or publicity.
I cannot realise a script worse than this! Thumbs up to the director for this accomplishment. Anything worse than this cannot have even come in the domains of intelligible or comprehensible visual entertainment.
Originality has been completely compromised with all exhibition and clear intentions. Climax idea taken from Terminator 2 - Judgement Day etc. I have no further civilised words to continue my review ... -
khayaal_e_yaar21 July 2011Before saying anything about this flick, let's enjoy a strange story.
'Here comes an omnipotent serpent riding on a duplicate Harley Davidson. Wait a minute! Serpent on a bike? Yeah, that's true. The bike appears and disappears below his A$$ and the serpent, clad in a black cloak puts on his latest designer sunglasses.'
Well if you aren't an Indian, you won't probably buy this trash, because when I say 'omnipotent' it means the serpent has almost all the magical abilities that allow him to transform into any being, avenge his honor with might, kill his enemies, and rule the world. The problem is, we are too grown up for this folklore.
Rajkumar Kohli has always been obsessed with plots involving 'n' number of actors. By putting several stars on the screen, he seems to toil on making the 'one dialog per actor' rule in almost every scene, but entirely forgets the message a film is supposed to give. Whatever may have been the message of this film is out of question, but even if we assume that there was any, then it too passes out somewhere in the multitude of stars.
I found this film laughable in every sense. The dialog is terrible and at times the acting is almost laughable. Akshay, Sunil, Manisha, Aftab, Aditya, Sunny etc. have all been in decent movies, but in this they look like they've just come out of rehabilitation center and took their parts for a quick buck. They clearly didn't read the script or say 'What The F!' before accepting their parts, which makes me think they didn't care as long as they got the work.
No story, No plot, No believable characters, No good dialogs, No scares, No decent effects, No hummable songs, and No pretty girls (at least get some GOOD looking women, not the rehab retards).
Not worth watching/renting. The movie sucks big time! -
silvan-desouza15 January 2016The film was in news due to it's huge cast, from Akshay,Sunil,Aftab(all three starred in Awara Paagal Deewana in the same year), Aditya Panscholi, Sharad Kapoor, Sonu Nigam(acting debut), Arshad Warsi(in his bad days). etc plus special appearances by Sunny Deol,Atul Agnihotri and many actresses from Manisha Koirala, Rambha who were going through almost extinct phase and many unknown actresses. The film actually was made to relaunch Munish(Arman Kohli) Kohli by his father Rajkumar Kohli yet again after previous failed attempts like Virodhi, Qahar, Aulad Ke Dushman.etc Rajkumar Kohli thought casting his son with bigger stars right from his first film will take him places, but anywayz nothing happened The film makes even badly made comedies seem masterpeices. First of all, 40 yr old actors play college students, at least ppl can forgive Srk or Aamir but Aditya Panscholi, Sharad Kapoor, Akshay Kumar.etc as students? The scenes are directed like a stage play where each actor gets one dialogue to say The film mixes NAGIN and JAANI DUSHMAN(old) and we have special effects from THE MUMMY to every Hollywood film ever seen. Scenes seem cut and pasted, no logic, no sense.etc Just witness the scene when all stars try to convince Manisha to forgive Rajat Bedi for attempting to molest Manisha. In fact every scene is like a badly made 70s movie.
Direction by Rajkumar Kohli is pathetic Music is nothing great
Amongst the huge cast, all have hardly anything worthwhile Akshay Kumar gets some scope but he is decent, his death scene seems weird as he never dies. Suneil Shetty is horrible, though its not his blame entirely Aftab is as usual, Arshad Warsi just cracks jokes, poor guy he was in his bad phase, Aditya Panscholi, Sharad Kapoor are all okay Sunny Deol has a brief role and is as usual, Sonu Nigam can give Fardeen Khan in Prem Aggan a run for his money in the worst debut award, he is simply nonsense. Armaan Kohli who was relaunched is given to glare, growl this actor has a good voice and a height but lacks everything else Manisha Koirala(poor thin) looks plump and is okay, post 2000 her career went downhill Rambha too slowly started fading away The rest heroines just are there one heroine who is paired opposite Suneil, stands out due to her bad dubbing, her voice keeps echoing.
One weird thing to speak about in the film is the poor set design, in the scene when Manisha hears Arman's voice, the buildings in the background look like cardboard. -
jetkot13 August 2017Rajkumar Kohli made famous movies during 1970's . His movies like Naagin (1976) and ironically same title Jaani Dushman (1979) were extremely successful since they were multistarrers with Horror as the theme.
He clubbed the two scripts and made this film as his son's Launchpad in 2002. His son had delivered plenty of flop films before this movie and had ensured to the audience that he is a terrible actor.
He was cast as the Antagonist in this film and the starcast including fantastic actors like Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi , Suniel Shetty and many more had to fight Armaan Kohli who was a combination of Naagin + Terminator and Matrix Reloaded.
The film proves the point that in the Hindi film industry these kids of Producers land with meaty roles and spoil a movie experience.
If they want to spend their fathers money. They would rather go on exotic holidays and save us from the horror of watching their acting on screen. A disappointing film that turns out to be unintentionally funny. An action packed horror film that will make you laugh . -
An insane assault on viewers senses. This is a mish-mash of assorted Hindi and English movies - poorly done. The name carries over from a 70s' multi star cast, which the 2002 version also boasts of. The story is taken from the 70s' Sunil Dutt/Reena Roy starrer - "Nagin" and visual effects taken (a horrible attempt) from The Matrix, Terminator 2 and Mission Impossible II.
Set in a college environment (Sunil Shetty, Akshaye Kumar, Manisha - college kids!!!???!!), Manisha Koirala is the victim, who mistakes a fatal assault on her by two students as a collective effort on the part of our heros. As it turns out Manisha is a Cobra (Nag) snake reborn as a girl in this life and her mate from the previous life, now a super powerful-all-and-any-shape-assuming (Ichadhari Nag) - Munish Kohli, is out looking for her in this life. Manisha appeals to him to avenge her violation and murder.
So begins the mad killing spree, where the avenging lover starts singling each male of the group, with increasing powers and tricks with successive attempts. The effects are extremely cheap, with computer generated skeletons, morphing bodies and motorcycle stunts completing the farce.
Carry over from Nagin includes Raj Babbar playing a catholic priest who provides temporary relief to our boys with a more "Religiously correct" multi-religion locket (the original Nagin only had an "Om") . Sunny Deol plays Manisha's love interest in her current life and the ultimate saviour against the all powerful Munish Kohli.
Music and songs are below average.
Avoid if you don't fancy cheap thrills. -
aditya-johar13 December 2007This movie deserves the 10 I'm giving it.
But it's not the 10 that you'd give to movies like 'The Godfather' or 'Goodfellas' or 'Psycho'. This is the kind of 10 you give to a movie which just makes you laugh,over and over again! It's the most horribly written and directed movie, yet it doesn't fail to entertain. It has the most amateur effects, yet you enjoy every moment! I saw this movie today on TV, and I didn't want to move away! Read the following dialogue to know why!
(Whole college is standing around Manisha,who has just undergone a rape attempt and the guys who attempted the rape are asking for forgiveness)
Bad Guy 1: Please forgive us!
Bad guy 2: Yes,we won't do it again.
(No response from Manisha)
Akshay: Come on,forgive them!
Manisha: I don't know...
Akshay: You are a beautiful woman, and even dead men can get aroused by you! And these are living young males! Don't blame them!
Pancholi: Yeah Manisha..
Manisha(To Suniel): What if they tried to rape your girlfriend???
Suniel: I'd break their hands,legs and kill them.But anyways,just forgive them..
Akshay: Yeah if you don't forgive them then it will be as though you are too arrogant about your beauty!
Now that is a true masterpiece of a dialogue! This movie never fails to entertain, mainly because there are so many goofs and unrealistic situations! The bad guy (Munish) can do basically anything..He can blow a sandstorm from his mouth, or he can get a motorcycle from his backside and just as easily make it disappear again.
Every actor takes turns to speak..One line from Akshay,then from Suniel, then from Arshad, then Aftab, then Nigam. It's the main rule followed by the director, so that equal screen time is given to each guy. And then there's the all powerful pendant, which can cause even a speeding car to go right through you without you being harmed! All these things make it an enjoyable movie, and I can watch it over and over again. I think this movie can go into the comedy hall of fame if there is one..
The only problem is that it wasn't trying to be funny. -
Arjun9310 April 2011Akshay Kumar and Sunny Deol are the only reasons this movie got a 6 in my view. I am an Akshay fanatic as well. The story line was legit. I feel that if they got rid of a few characters and songs, then the movie would of been a superhit. The person who played the bad guy, I have never seen in a movie before or after. Personally, I think Sunny Deol should of been the bad guy because he has never been a villain and the fact he is a one man army, it would of made this intense. Akshay should of been the brother of Sonu Nigam. And then the rest of the characters should of been moved up. This would of been a treat for the audiences too because we would of seen the He-man and Khiladi against each other. We have seen Akshay and Ajay fight and Akshay and Sunil, but Akshay and Sunny would of been really nice since they are the two main action superstars in modern bollywood!
One less character would not hurt. Oh and Aditya Pancholi should of been replaced with Shah Rukh Khan. SRK would of played the role a lot better and to see him in a different genre then romance would of been pleasant. The music was great, but too many songs. "Roop Salona Tera", "Jaaneman Tu Khoob Hai" were splendid. The other songs were just annoying minus the one between Manisha and the villain. 6/10 for this movie what could of been a so much more! -
akira_aqu25 November 2005I am ashamed to admit in public that I even held the cover of this movie once! This is an absolute reason why one should research on the movie before seeing it! The 'makers' of this movie have called us all fools and gullible losers with too much time on our hands.
Based on the mythical Indian shape-shifting powerful cobras and rebirth, the story takes us for a painful ride. College going 40+ actors (now really?) are the target of their former friend Manisha Koirala (who was in her former life a cobra, but is now a ghost!) and her pathetic, eternal, powerful boyfriend cobra/killing machine boyfriend Munish Kohli (who thankfully hasn't been seen since). Now do you need to know more?
I vote for studying for the upcoming test in school rather than this movie! Give it a pass if you are sane. If not... then you'll probably enjoy it. -
love_jaan7 August 2006hi, This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The day when I watched this movie, I was having high fever. But still I watched the movie with lots of patience. And after watching the movie, I felt like repenting. Because, I wasted 3 hrs for this stupid movie. I could have taken rest rather then watching this movie. And I was really surprised that how come actors like Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar Aftab etc acted in this movie.
I don't understand if directors don't find a good story to make a film then why do they remain as directors? Why can't they sit at home and spent their time at home?
I request to all directors that it will be good for them if they request audiences, either by mail or by media, newspapers, radios etc... to send them a nice story if they don't find any good story for to make a film . I request again to all directors please don't make such films. -
rroy739 November 2005Mish mash of all Hindi and Hollywood action & emotion packed dramas. A complete waste of 3 hours of your precious time! The whole story flows in fits and starts. The only acting that was happening was that all the actors were making weird faces at the camera and screaming most of the time. Due to the number of stars, maybe all the stars were allotted some screen time randomly and the movie was assembled and shown to the public. The SFX were cheap and jarring. Acting was of the poorest quality. Songs were painful, though one was supposedly comical (Javed Bhai So Rele Hai).
All this just to re-launch a star son devoid of any acting talent. It just wasn't a horror movie, it was horrible.
Watch it if you want to see the worst Hindi movie ever made. If not, then steer clear... -
himanshu-tushar616 April 2013what a story in which innocent people getting killed by an intelligent & very dashing look & like god's almighty snake which has power to doomed anybody & in the end he dies as heroic death like terminator .how he tell that he loves a girl after kills many innocent guys which has no guilty only to patch up to others. why the hero like sunny Doll was only who conquered the snake guy. mannish Korella has nothing in this movie she was a rape victim & also a vengeful spirit . music is so lousy & the other heroes who are like as extra in this movie made their part in the movie . the other guys has also flop & overacts heroine also who are make you laugh for wrong reason. acting wise everyone overacts . the movie is totally crap never waste you 3 hours for this crappy movie.

Deeps4099 August 2020It is heart breaking for me that this movie didn't got even a single nomination for any award. Armaan Kohli and Sonu Nigam ..salute for your acting skills.Aditya Pancholi truly an icing on the cake. The reason I am giving this movie a single star is I couldn't understand this movie even now as this movie really is Father of inception..Thanks for making such a great and path defining movie.

Friday the 13th meets the Matrix. As with all of these stupid horror movies, everyone knows who has been killed and who will be killed next, but do nothing to prevent anything, all with the added CGI action effects from the Matrix. Hasn't the world seen enough Matrix reproductions?
-
sawas29 December 2008No words can describe how awful this film is. Its like the director literally took a s*** in a roll of film and sent it out to the viewing public.
The acting in this movie is horrendous, The plot is so dumb, and the deaths of each character is laughably bad. Some stupid scenes include Akshay Kumar pulling a gun out of nowhere to kill a hologram (yes a hologram), Akshay Kumar carrying a bazooka around the town, Rajat Bedi getting beaten up by a poorly animated skeleton, Rajat Bedi and Siddharth double penetrating Monisha Korella (How did they think this was straight?). Also i'd like to point out that the animations are absolutely terrible. The scene that supports this statement is when Kapal has the motorbike and somehow gains the glasses. The shopping job looks like it was done in microsoft paint.
The best parts in this movie are with Sunny Deol. This man is so strong that he makes even god feel scared. In one scene, he literally breaks open a jail door by kicking it. Chuck Norris' round-house has nothing on that! He is even so powerful, that he can fly from London to India in a matter of 10 minutes! Overall, this movie is perhaps the most poorly made movie in the universe. If you were to watch it, watch it for the hilarity that ensues throughout (BTW this movie is supposed to be serious) -
The most stupid horror movie i have ever seen..
I always question myself that Why the hell did i watch it??
It is a disaster in every sense..
I think everything from writing script of this movie to its completion happened within 24 hours..Director must have hurriedly waken from his sleep,wrote the story,called the actors,started shooting and completed the movie just before going to bed again at night.
Direction,screenplay,story,editing,dialogues,special effects all are pathetic
Never dare to watch this EPIC DISASTER -
I don't know why this movie received so much hate. It is actually very well made movie. Everything makes sense, the story, the dialogues, the songs all things perfectly in sync. Now comes to the acting part. Mr Sonu Nigam is very good singer but after watching his awesome, mature acting in this movie, it was clear he's far better as an actor than singer. Don't know why he didn't do more movies but it's natural if you have mind-blowing acting skills, it's very hard to select the films suitable for you. The rest of the actors did pretty well too but Sonu outshines everyone. The songs are obviously amazing sung by Mr Nigam.
-
Absolutely horrible and headache inducing, this unique multi-star nonsense is a pathetic excuse of a film. Nothing makes sense but that doesn't mean this is a boring film. This is rip-roaring laughter ride that frustrates and entertains you in the equal proportions.
The best scenes of this movie like Akki producing a rocket launcher from nowhere and the mimicry scene from the villain will have you rolling in laughter and then some. The villain is a terrible actor, wears black suit and morphs into random people. The special effects are hilariously bad, the skeleton with the huge leg bones had me laughing forever. Its probably the high point in the movie. Actresses wear skimpy clothes and act foolish while actors who agreed to act in this movie should be driven a jeep into when not wearing that nonsense locket.
My favorite scene in the movie is when Kiran falls into water and cries for help, Aditya Panscholi doesn't know to swim so he cries for help; Aftab jumps in to rescue Kiran but he doesn't know to swim. Later Kiran swims with Aftab and tells Panscholi that she was testing who loves her more and she really knows to swim. The writer who came up with such gems should be applauded, although him not being Bashir Babbar shows in the dialogue department. Suniel Shetty and Sunny Deol are poor actors but they at least try in this movie.
Hilarious in its best moments, Jaani Dushman is a horrible B-movie that can be a pleasant Saturday diversion if you have a sense of humor. -
namazbdhasan14 May 2020Its damn awesome with mind bending twists and heartthrobing dialogues
