This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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

Feroz Khan's 'Janbaaz' is your typical action romantic 80's flick where Khan tries to tackle the theme of drug abuse that is surrounded by poor storytelling. Of course sex has always been an ingredient in Khan's film and there is some doze of that. Unfortunately, 'Janbaaz' is hardly a sexy film (thanks to the amateur presentation). I would have found the movie unintentionally funny but most of the scenes unnecessarily drag on to the point that it gets tiring. In such circumstances, the remote control is handy for the fast forward application. Of the so many things I find ridiculous in the story, it really tests your patience when they try to justify the murder of a poor innocent man in the name of love, how Reshma so easily forgives Amar because he murdered Vikas out of jealousy. There are plenty of such silly moments but that one's the tip of the icing. One thing that Feroz Khan got right was the soundtrack. The songs are of the hummable sort. With some catchy numbers, the one I liked most was 'Har Kisiko Nahin Milta'. Rekha's item number is hilarious but the song itself has some great lyrics. Try and catch a glimpse of it on the Internet and you'll see what I mean. I must add the pairing of Feroz Khan and Sridevi is ridiculously hilarious. Clearly, Khan does a poor job of hiding his age as dying his hair wasn't enough. In terms of ç acting he is downright wooden while Anil Kapoor is merely okay. Dimple Kapadia does well in the initial portions but when things get dramatic she becomes a caricature. The best part of 'Janbaaz' was Sridevi's portion. Sadly, this sequence doesn't last more than a few minutes. How to turn a ten minute performance into something transcendent is something only very few actors can do and and Sridevi has done it with sheer ease.

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.
