Big B, 13 December 2005
7/10
Author: saqibhere from Calgary, Canada

Black - Waqt - Sarkar - Viruddh Big B has given another dashing performance in this "Ek Ajnabee" I thought plot was wafer thin. But then some twists in the 2nd half made it really interesting. Big B is awesome. Arjun Rampal fits in his negative role. Perizaad Zoraban is perfect as kids mother. But I must say Two Show Steallers were Big B and the Kid. She was super. Adorable acting by her. Sanjay's Song is wasted. Good that no songs as script really does not allow you this.

Thailand locales are good. Shot Nicely.

I give 7 out of 10. More for power packed performances. Big B in action role after a long gap. Last was "Kaante" so I say go watch it if you have not yet.
