Johnny Gaddaar Movie review
Remember the theme music of 70s flicks like AMIR GARIB, FAKIRA and TRAIN amongst
the more popular YAADON KI BARAAT, KAALICHARAN and of course JOHNNY
MERA NAAM, which is considered no less than a cult classic today? When
you hear similar music in the opening credit title rolls of JOHNNY
GADDAAR, you know that director's Sriram has his mind (and most
importantly his heart) in the right place.
He does pay homage to the 'masala' flicks from the 70s but in the style of 21st century. Ab yeh hua naa ek unique combination!
So while Raghavan openly flouts his love for Amitabh
Bachchan-Navin Nischol starrer PARWANA, he also makes a subtle
reference to Al Pacino's SCARFACE. On the other hand what takes the
cake is his keen study of films made by Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino
and Alfred Hitchcock amongst other greats.
