Expectations were really high of this Sriram Raghavan Film as its First Film Ek Hasina Thi was a real masterpiece.....Johny Gaddar is a Thriller to the core with lots of twists and turns...Neil Mukesh makes a fairly good debuet...But the real starts are Vinay Pathak and Jakhir Hussain...

Johnny Gaddaar assumes that we're a thinking, breathing audience and not just popcorn-munching machines, as it holds the audience's hand and leads them through intricate planning, and a lot of twists and turns.
Writer-director Sriram Raghavan cues us in on certain details, but keeps most of niceties private. This way, we're always kept on the edge of our seats. We think we know what's going on, but by the time we find out that we're wrong, we've been introduced to a whole new bag of tricks.
Johnny Gaddaar is clever, in a rather implausible sort of way. This unevenly constructed picture is still entertaining and never boring. However, the second half slows down.
Like Ek Haseena Thi -- Raghavan's first film -- this is also a dark film (with some redundant violence) that suffers pacing issues in the second half, partly due to faulty writing. Also, many logical questions are thrown up in the air. Even as bodies are popping left, right and centre, the police is almost never involved. Further, the affair between Neil Mukesh and Rimi Sen looks unbelievable, considering her otherwise incredibly street smart husband, Zakir Hussain.
I believe rediff is very defensive in posting reviews. It is confusing, misleading and multi messaging. You are left thinking the ultimate crux of the whole write up, what excactly the writer wants to convey to the readers... is he telling it to be a good movie or bad or none. If it be a movie to whom rediff favors and advertises, the review will be outstanding. Anyways, good thing about these reviews is that you are left on your own to decide whether to watch the movie or not; which is atleast better than taking a cue from some stupid writers like rediff employs. Raja Sen is another rediff writer who just doesn't know what to convey unless it is some Actor he is die hard fan of( I am sure everyone knows who this actor I am talking about) Soon time is coming when rediff reviews will not mean anything to anyone and people replying to these reviews will disappear..
