Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Nice thriller movie.The story is good.The movie is fast and full of tension and suspense and keeps you at the edge of the seat from start till end.And not even a minute a I feeled bored.Nice acting by Neil nitin mukesh.He should do more movies like this.Nice direction.Nice editing.The train action sequence were good.The story is about a gang and their money and a men who betrays them.Though from start onwards we know who the killer is still the movie is awesome.The ending was terrifying.If you want to see a fast paced thriller movie then go for this.You will surely like this one.

i had seen a film of this director and thought this is going to be like that but what the,how the hell was i saying after i saw the movie.............i was surprised because it was not like his earlier work but very different and very good.i felt good because i had never thought a movie like this would have made....................i MEAN in bOLLYWOOD off-course............now i don't know if this film is any others rip off and i would be very disappointed because that originality brings this to my very own list of my fav movies. sriram has done good work.........the screenplay was good ,the background music was good but i would have liked it if no songs were included i don't like songs in between movies. first when i saw johnny accidentally kill.....i got thinking i meant u know we all get his plan of fainting him stealing the money....simple but wait the kill ......whats going to happen now.....thts what happened to me.........and the most funny......how he comes up with name that was a good one....at one point i would say many will say how the hell is he gonna get out of this now..but some how he does it every time....i mean the the little twist came after one another that was brilliant..u know the least expected for me was that he would die........really who thought that would happen ...........................every body acted well.....for new comer he did OK...........overall it was BRILLIANT WORK.........i still don't know is how did this not go for Oscar nomination and that stupid eklavya got to go....DAMN!!!

The debut movie of Niel Nitin Mukesh,grandson of legendary singer Mukesh. The USP of the movie is definitely not the debut, but the story. It is well scripted and equally well told. Writers have taken a lot of effort on the script and it shows as the final result is very polished and engaging.Casting also was good, being a low budget movie no mega stars acts in the movie, except mega star of his days Dharamendra(surely not a mega star of today), also one would not find any foreign locales in dreamy song sequences, although cinematography could have been lot better.The debutant actor Niel Nitin Mukesh acts very well for a debutant, he could be the next girl charmer of Bollywood, with great looks, physique and good acting abilities he is here to stay for long time. Dharamendra does a pretty good job and this was expected from an actor of his stature. Its refreshing to see Vinay Pathak in not a full blown comedy role, he shows of his acting abilities to the fullest. The background score of the movie is great; Shankar Ehsaan Loy does a wonderful job yet again. The visual effects and editing should have been better as this steals the charm of the movie Story does become predictable at few instances but overall it keeps you glued to your seats till the end. Surely a one time watch movie.

The fifth frame to hit the screen in Johnny Gaddar marks a dedication to Vijay Anand and James Hadley chase and the tributes just don't stop coming from the seventy style beginning on a fantastically remixed Johny Mera Naam theme to clips of parwana and even references to modern day thrillers to Scarface.Johnny Gaddar is an old fashioned double crossing thriller made with as much fun as the audience is expected to have. Five partners decide to buy in some smuggled good (possible some French antique – just like all self respecting gangster movies the viewer is never properly explained what the deal is about) one of them sees parwana and decides to get the entire pooled in 2.5 crore for himself except things go horribly wrong like they should and the body count begins to rise Unlike other gangster movies of recent times like Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local and d etc. the films antiheroes have style and families to look after. They are not hardened criminals yet very sleazy guys. Johnny gaddar is full of racy characters, violent situations and a cold calculating anti hero just like a James Hadley chase which has a provocative cover but is too slick to waste time on sex.The supporting cast is extremely good too with Vinay Pathak as a sleazy gambling den owner leading the way and Dharmendra as a 'respectable' retired smuggler stealing the scenes. Neil Nitin Mukesh as the suave anti hero remains expressionless for most of the film but then his role is one which demands it. You don't hate him for what he does for he fools you with his straight face but just wait for his next move which makes him one of the best anti heroes to hit the screens in recent memory.Prior to Johnny Gadaar u could only count jaane bhi do yaaron as a true cult film Bollywood ever produced but gaddar is without the cult of film of our times. From a zany background score to the keeps you guessing climax johhny Gadaar is highly recommended to those who love and know their movies. Bollywood if you can call it that is definitely moved a step closer to coming of age with this Johnny.Watch out for the Johny johny yes papa remix as the credits roll!!
