Thanks to Ajay, I watched a very thrilling and refreshing movie, Johnny Gaddar .

I had earlier heard from others that it was a nice movie, but after reading the review on Ajay's Blog there was no way i was gonna miss it. I bought the DVD and watched it yesterday itself. After watching this fresh movie, I was surprised how less Ajay has written about this movie !!!

The movie and the main protagonist in it, are kind of inspired from the old Amitabh movie, Parwana. But, its the number of twists that are added over this inspiration that makes the audience sit on the edge of their seats. The story picks up slowly, but increases in tempo as time progresses.

More than the story and the actors, its the dialogues that make the movie more absorbing. The way Seshadri identifies the main culprit is so subtle. You can catch the mistake Vikram makes if you are alert. You might feel that you are thinking ahead of the story writer, but you get zapped with the circumstances that bring in twists after twists to the tale. Vikram always finds himself very lucky in all the situations. He falters with mistakes but luck is always on his side.

Each character is given his dew credit and importance with the dialogues given to them. Like, the one that shows how high Seshadri thinks of himself when he says, "Its not the age, its the mileage that counts" Or, the way Prakash is shown to have less brain power, when he does not understand what Vikram means while saying, "It was an accident" The most intriguing dialogue which shows the depth to which the writer has thought about the characters is displayed when Shardul, who thinks of himself as a very smart person, [ atleast more smarter than Prakash ] asks Vikram on how Seshadri and Prakash came to know about the culprit even before Shardul could figure it out !!! This was a master stroke.

As Ajay puts it, the characterisation is awesome and each actor has played his role to perfection. The misunderstandings, the double interpretation of words, everything is very clearly shown.

Ofcourse, as all movies, this one also has a moral. The moral of the movie is, "Always wear your own jacket when it rains outside" :D
