You won't be disappointed!

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

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

"Johnny Goddaar" is a very good crime film. It's about a gang leader who betrays his friends...yet none of the other leaders know who the betrayer is...and end up killing each other or being killed as a result.The film concerns a small group of hoods who all report to the local boss. When the boss arranges for a huge shipment of money to be picked up and transported back to him, Vikram decides it's a chance to once and for all make a big score--a score that will enable him to disappear with a fellow gangster's wife, Minni. But Minni's husband, Shardul, is a tough guy and so are the rest of the gangsters...and Vikram sure doesn't seem tough enough to carry it off. His only chance is if he's incredibly lucky...and he is throughout most of the film...incredibly lucky! But, like many crime films, his luck can only hold up so long.So what did I like about this film? Mostly it was the very clever story--especially the way everything worked out perfectly by the end of the film. One of the better Bollywood gangster films I've seen and well worth your time.

Excellent movie..can watch it n times.. Shreeram Raghvan had done abrilliant job... Totally unpredictable and classic thriller.. Johnny Gaddar is one of the best thrillers of recent times.... The movie is about 5 crooks...two of them got murdered ....Suspects are remaining three...From start to end it binds you n u don't even think to miss a scene.. Niel does a brilliant job in his first movie.. Dharam ji is as usual excellent....Music is good by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy...Especially the title track and sabse bada rupaiya....Watch the movie even if u don't like thrillers because its different and most important its original...not a copy of any Hitchcock or Hollywood movie..Eagerly waitng for Agent Vinod by Raghvan.

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.

There is no dispute on Vijay Anand being the de facto Master of Suspense/Thriller in Indian Cinema history. So when we have a movie that pays tribute to this master (starting from quite an obvious title), purists like me sit up and get ready to tear apart any failings. Consider the astonishment when the movie not only lives up to the name, but dignifies it! That this movie actually got made, and then received a wide-release is in itself a surprise - hardly are any studios or distributors in India who support movies that do not conform to the fabric of established norms of Bollywood. Yet we have this movie. Raghavan gives us a genuine film-noir that is so rare that it is easy to lose it in the mêlée of mediocrity that Bollywood blockbusters represent.An almost gray-scale visual theme with shocks of Red (very Sin City - nobody is innocent), no break-out sessions for song&dance and a crisp running time (135 minutes) alienates it from regular cinema. The movie revels in what it is, and religiously refers to the works it inspires from. Yet, and in doing so, it establishes a unique identity that would live through the said mêlée.The casting choices of the movie also make for a great ensemble, especially with the presence of Dharamendra, whose stature and age are also put to great use. Neil Nitin Mukesh makes his debut, and is already lost in the shadows while lights shine on other star-kids. Yet he plays the most daring and convincing maiden role to establish a sure-fire position on the "to-be-watched" list.Raghavan makes the most inherently "cool" movie of the year, complete in 60's retro garb of film-making (cinematography, editing, character focus, color grading) that fits right in with the film-noir subject. If not for the obvious anachronisms, this could easily have been a movie from the 60s, if not from the Master himself.
