Johnny Gaddaar leaves no scope for the viewer to complain. If you are looking for a remarkable thriller (with inspirations from flicks like Parwana and Pulp Fiction) then go for the Gaddaar.
From one frame to another, it’s the viewer whose intelligence is questioned but the director’s vision and strong screenplay take the sequences in an all new dimension.
Techinically speaking, the film lacks pace in the second half where editing could have been better. There are a few sequences which pull back the story. Cinematography is a marvel. Dialogues are simply good. Screenplay is perfect.
Dharmendra, last seen in Apne, delivers an amazing performance yet again. The movie is also the launch pad of Neil Nitin Mukesh, who previously worked as an assistant director with Yash Raj for four years and has an impeccable film lineage as the son of Nitin Mukesh and grandson of singer Mukesh. Neil enacts his role with utmost ease.
Rimi Sen is looking fabulous. Her curves are complimented by the way in which she has delivered her scenes. Zakir Hussain is very good. Daya Shetty excels in his role.
Johnny Gaddaar is a film that blends style with intelligence. For a change, do get your brains to the theatres.
