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.
