Johnny Gaddar is considered to be one of the smartest thriller movies made in last decade standing tall with A Wednesday. The movie boasts of a good star cast spear-headed by veteran Dharmendra and a newcomer Neil Nitin Mukesh who is grandson of iconic singer of yesteryears Mukesh. While Dharmendra was the anchor of the plot Neil was the main lead who plans to steal the money and execute his plan despite of some glitches and errors. However, though the plan succeeds; he fails. Why I am saying that… watch this movie to find out. One promise is that it’s not going to be a cheesy anti-climax.
The movie gives tributes to many Hindi films and the most brilliant writer of this genre- James Hadley Chase. Infact, the movie flows like one of James Hadley Chase’s novel. This movie is dedicated to iconic movie maker- Vijay Anand and the first word of title was taken from movie Johnny Mera Naam. There are also references to another Hindi movie- Parwana. Shades of red are prominently used as a tribute to Sin City and Dharmendra’s singing ‘Mera Gora…’ was a tribute to movie ‘Bandini’.
Performances of Neil and Dharamendra are outstanding while others did justice to their job. Director and writer Sriram Raghavan did a brilliant job. Background score and cinematography were simply gripping. Applause…
Johnny Gaddar is a film Bollywood should be proud of. It is as good as any good quality heist movie made anywhere on this planet. A very tight script and flawless execution. It has a pace that is trademark of this genre.
