Johny Gaddar-A Quick Review

Wow! Sriram Raghavan after Ek Hasina Thi is back with Johny Gaddar & it hits the bulls eye.Its big big tribute to the thriller genre in Bollywood.Some salutations are obvious like references to Parwana, Johny Mera Naam etc.The others are more subtle.

A 5 member gang ( Dharmendra,Neil Mukesh,Vinay Pathak,Zakir Hussain & Daya Shetty) want to make a big deal which would make them all wildly rich.But Neil who loves Zakir's wife ( Rimi Sen) & wants to go abroad with her, decides to double cross the gang & have the money for himself.Its then a complete zig zag tale, keeping you guessing right till the end.

All the performances including that of Govind Namdev as the cop are good.Neil Mukesh makes a good debut & Dharampaji continues his good work of Metro & Apne here.Surprisingly the Box Office performance so far has been very poor.

Rating- 3/5
