A Hollywood Class Product from B'wood

Guys, I can't even explain how excited after watching this movie, I became. I went with a sarcastic mood as tickets were proffered me complimentary and that too single and lonely most in the whole hall. But hats off and thanks to the director Sriram Raghvan for taking me through a roller coaster ride. The movie lurks around five gang members and one of them's love story(I won't tell you which one) and a mega deal worth 2.5 crores!!! Everything is going allright when things begin to take twists and one of the gang members takes the other way. from here the whole story is brilliantly crisped and up to the point (not that sort of Abbas-Mustan Thriller where after each sequence a rather unusual song is putted up like that in RACE.) I still can't believe what happens one after one and finally when the whole thing is going to sorted out, probably the GREATEST CLIMAX I have ever seen in my life of encounters with various movies tooks place and leave us in such an adrenaline pumping mood that one wants to enjoy it one more time. All the characters are brilliantly portrayed. Neil is fantastic, Rimi is as good as hell, Dharam Paji--Hats off to you, Zakir Hussain-Above all that guy is, Vinay Pathak-Second Best.

                 The overall story narration is superb and direction is very brilliant. Second plus point is that the editing is very incredibly superb. Each scene seems trying to steal the show with the music in background. Man I can't wait for Next one by Sriram Raghvan. I have started to guess what would be the next climax!!!!!!!!!!!!

Treat to watch

I went to watch "Johnny G" with great expectations and I am glad, the movie was up to what I expected and sometimes even exceeded my expectations. Sriram Raghavan is clearly one of the best directors in the Industry these days. I really liked "Ek Hasina Thi" and was expecting a thriller, which makes me sit straight and enjoy each and every scene. This is a thriller where the suspense is not about who, it's about what. You know who is Johnny Gaddar, but you don't know what is gonna happen next. Your brain is trying to work out the next scene but the director keeps surprises in store for you.

The movie is about and gang of 5 people, Sheshadri (Dharmendra), Shardul (Zakir Hussain), Prakash (Vinay Pathak), Shiva (Daya Shetty) and Vikram (Neil Nitin Mukesh). Sheshadri gets a call from his police inspector friend in B'lore (Govind Namdev), they are about to earn 2.5 crore in 5 days out of it. Vikram is in love with Mini (Rimi Sen) and is planning to start another life with her (again there is a surprise for you). Introduction scenes of each character describe the characters well. The movie is all about this gang and the 2.5 crore deal. All other characters complete the story and are important for the story. The movie is really fast pace and there is no dull moment.

This movie again proves that script is the real hero of the film. The script is really gripping. All the actors have played there part beautifully. Neil Nitin Mukesh is discovery, he will go places, considering he keeps on working with good directors. The scenes in the movie are inspired by various flicks Johnny Mera Naam, Parvana, Scraface to name a few, and the director is not making an attempt to deny that. He on the other hand is accepting the same by showing the scenes from these movies or mentioning them. However the movie is not a copy of any of these movies.

Do a favour to youself, spend some money and take yourself for a treat to watch one of the best suspense thrillers made in bollywood in recent times. I would rate this one as 8 on a scale of 10.

Its Johnny Rocker

Well  Well Well, Can you believe it?  Johnny Gaddaar is a rocker…..

The movie is a suspense thriller movie, but wait can we call it suspense, cause we all know who the culprit (Gaddaar) is, But that’s the beauty of this movie. Even though we all know who the culprit is, the movie still holds you by its sequence of situation it unfolds. This movie definitely makes you sit on the edge of your seat and it always asks you questions to gamble what will happen next.

All the characters are lively and perfectly justified their role. Some of them are brilliant, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Neil Mukesh, He has done a fantastic job in his debuted movie.

The screenplay is as powerful as the director’s last movie “Ek Haseena thi”. We must give credit to its sound track (both the music and background score), it has a perfect blend of rock and thriller kind of expression. And the Cinematography is spot on.

On the flip side the movie is bit predictable towards the end, so the movie should have been bit shorter to justify its intention.

So its 4 out of 5 for me, It’s a nice thriller movie after along time, you must enjoy watching this movie.

Note: The review is completely my own perception of the movie. Kindly do not take the review personally, as I have no intention to hurt any one’s feeling and emotion.

What do expect from the makers of EK HASINA THI ? It proves that indian cinema can also make good thriller movies. It seems to be the copy of hollywood movie PULP FICTION, Starring JOHN TRAVOLTA. BUT A WORTH WATCH MOVIE AND NEIL MUKESH deserves the debut award for this movie

Johny G. thats the name in movie. when i saw this movie in start there is two photographs shown; 1st was Vijayanand and the second one was James Hardley Chase , The two Masters . Johny Gaddar is story which turns in thrill while watching movie called "Parwana" by that charachter. He get afraid from his frnds after watching parwana. It was Vijayand's movie. Performance wise when we see it is fantastic performance by alla the team of johny Gaddar. After all it's Sriram Raghvan movie it will get critics but box office pe jami to luck....Thanks

Cracker of a Thriller

I was told that "Johnny Gaddar" is the baap of all Bollywood thrillers. The statement couldn't have been more true. Well etched out characters, a slick screenplay and rivetting storyline - what more can one ask for. 

The movie does not give you any time to think about what is going to happen next - it just happens. The movie could be anything but a bollywood movie - it just does not have any logical inconsistencies. An OK performance by Neil, decent performances by the other partners and Dharmendra just seems to get better with age!

The packaging is good and the crisp one liners add to the effect. "Its not age, its the mileage" "D .. The movie has not been promoted too much because the production house thought that the collections would pick up on word of mouth. Just hope that what the producers thot was right and one just gets to see more of such movie..

Johny G..creates a new era in Bollywood
Oct 3, 2007
 
Author: Vikram Compliment the user
Overall Rating

Bollywood has always experimented with different genre of movies in search of a sure hit formula. I guess that's the reason we get to see movies like Aap ka Suroor and Ramu ki Aag.But watching Johny G you just get mesmerized and wonder why haven't such movies been made more often. This has been by far, in recent years a movie in which you would really get your money's worth. The thriller has a really gripping storyline and acting is good although neil can work up a bit more but in general u r glued to ur seat for entire movie thinking wat's next and thats amazing.

A must watch for every movie lover and whos got bored with romantic sequences and 4 friends' slapstick comedies.

i watched manorama last week and that was good... i watched johnny gaddar this week and dude, i conclude that bollywood is going places! :-)... thrillers are back in action and action is back in thrillers :-)...

i liked the movie, its fast paced, story is gripping and causes you to have butterflies in stomach, you wonder whats going to happen next and well i am sure you cant guess :-)... its not a suspense thriller though but the way events happen and story takes turns, it keeps you hooked... music is pretty good,  acting wise neil has scope for improvement, everyone else is pretty fine... enjoy the niche class of bollywood if you have appetite for it...

wow what a movie !! Its a great great thriller. Story is amazing, moves slowly and keeps you engaging and guessing ... Dont want to talk about the story since its a suspense/thriller.. 

Acting wise - it was okay. But acting is not the mainstay of the movie anyway.

Its a must watch !! - you would get that pulp-fiction kind of flavor in it ..
