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

Starting from Apradh(1972)as a director and actor, Feroze Khan who recently passed away was the flamboyant guy of the classic era(70s & 80s)of Indian cinema. He was greatly influenced by the action, glamor and adventure of western movies. Even in Apradh, he would film scenes (glamorous & murder in a bath tub) which were a far cry for those days Indian movies. He was definitely ahead of his time in getting closer to the western style/touch. He always choreographed good/hit songs bred with sensational music score and sometimes showing foreign artists/dancers in his movies. Qurbani (1980) was a block buster primarily due to the super hit songs.Janbaaz, a later day movie in the career of Feroze Khan was also a box office hit. With young, dashing and robust Aneel Kapoor to act as the prodigal Amar Singh, he got the right guy to portray the like of a spoiled scion of a powerful family. This spoiled young character had to face a suave and honest elder brother/police officer - Rajesh, beautifully played by Feroze Khan. As an affront cowboy like brother who sports hedonistic tendencies inherited from their pleasure seeking and rogue father (Amrish Puri), Amar would emerge as a contender between the sincere love affair of his elder brother -Rajesh and Reshma, played by versatile Dimple Kapadia.In all, the story is interestingly meshed up with the dons of underworld drug trade, a criminally lenient feudal father and a reckless younger brother....... the glamorous Dimple providing obscene pool and kissing scenes with a cameo appearance by Sri Devi and Rekha.Good entertainment and good songs. Indeed not boring to watch.

Well Guys ! this flick is a Basic feroz khan one. If u watch bollywood movies then u'd know. He was greatly influenced by Cowboy movies and calls his home RANCH (yeah thats true).The movie is about Drug Paddllers and A cop with a Love story woven into. There's vendetta as well.

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.
