I have to say that no doubt Elaan has to be one of India's No.1 all-time action movie. The casting is absolutely spot-on. Mithun makes a superb villain, it was great to see him back after such a long time. The five heroes were brilliant. I can't even make up my mind to choose who is the star of the movie.
I loved all of the phone conversations between, Rahul Khanna and Mithun, especially when Rahul Khanna made his Elaan to Mithun.
In some scenes John Abraham is absolutely hilarious and in other scenes he is the main action stunt-man. The stunts that he does in the end battle are mind-blowing.
What can you say about Arjun Rampal, you could just say that, without him, the mission wouldn't have even got off to a start. The scene, where all 5 of the heroes are trapped in Mithun's house, would have to be one of the best scenes, in the movie. It's all because of Arjun, that they manage to escape. The way he just dives out of the window, with guns blazing, was fascinating. Although me, personally, I thought that he was insane to jump out like that and take on Mithun's men, while the others were in the house. I started cheering when he jumped out, because I thought it was all over, when they were all surrounded in the house. Critics also have said that it was ridiculous, the way Mithun lets them go away, when he had an easy chance to kill the heroes. The fact is that they didn't just walk away, Arjun Rampal did all of the hard work and fought off most of Mithun's men. You can ask the same question, with just about every other movie. Like for example In Sholay, why didn't Gabar Singh just kill Thakur, when he had the easiest chance to kill him (Sanjeev Kumar a.k.a Thakur was tied up) There have been so many movies where similar situations have occurred and the critics haven't said anything then, so what's the point of criticising a superb movie like Elaan, now.
I don't know what the critics, are talking about. They absolutely ruined the movie, with their comments. They even said that the girls, were forced into the movie and had nothing to do with the movie.
Lara Dutta was glamorous in the movie. You can understand why she joins the battle against Mithun. She loves John Abraham and wants to stand by him, no matter what. How many other movies are there where women do the same for the person that they love and the movies have been hits.
I admit that Amisha Patel might have been forced into the movie, but there are certain major scenes, which couldn't have been done without her. E.g. when they try to track Mithun's location via mobile phone and satellite and at the end when the french police turn up, it's all because of Amisha Patel.
Overall I would have to say that I have seen Elaan for the fifth time inside a week. I don't know what the critics problems are. Sometimes I think that they are watching one movie and writing reviews about another. It's because of these critics that Elaan, has been reviewed as average. This isn't the first time that this has happened. There are other great movies that have been publicly ruined, because of negative reviews. To me Elaan is a blockbuster smash hit. I can't wait for the DVD release of the movie.
I hope that this review will help other people, who are interested in watching this movie. My advice is
"IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ELAAN, WHAT ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE DOING? ARE YOU INSANE? GET ON TO THE ROLLERCOSTER, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED"
