Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 05/24/2019
[Sriram] Raghavan nails the grimy, grotty feel of a James Hadley Chase novel, where everyone is is either bad, greedy, villainous, plain amoral, or simply, a combination of all of the above. Go to Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook 01/25/2019
3/4
Mukesh is well cast in the lead role, handsome and reptilian at the same time. But it's characters on the side-Zakir Husain, Ashwini Kalsekar and Vinay Pathak-who steal the show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Priyan B 03/13/2024 Some cliche scenes in the first half but second half was a payoff 7.5/10 See more 11/27/2013 An edge of the seat suspense. The screenplay is pacy and along with the sleek camera work and performance one can say that this is one of the best Hindi movies of the 2000s. See more 06/17/2013 With interesting characters, adn a riveting screenplay, JOHNNY GADDAAR is the best adaptation of THE WHIFF OF MONEY by James Hadley Chase. See more 05/10/2012 The curse of Hindi Movie Industry are none other than its 'lazy' film makers. They are good at making some lame romantic movies with pointless songs and dances. But when it comes to making an action or a thriller, they spare their grey matter. All they do is to 'google' out the latest Hollywood flicks and find someone to translate the script. But Sriram Raghavan's Johnny Gaddaar is something exceptional, original, and a fabulous movie. Its a story of a series of fateful events among a gang of five men, partners of a gambling club when they go for some illegal quick money. The script was carefully crafted out and shot with a talented cast. The film don't play the usual 'Guess who' - game with you, but still good to give you the 'unexpected' at regular intervals. In short, it is an enjoyable treat. See more 04/07/2012 Totally unpredictable !! See more 03/03/2012 Wonderful thriller...loved it! See more Read all reviews
