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. |

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. |

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.Â
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.. |
