Bhaag Johnny

If any Indian didn't like it....it means that s/he likes typical Bollywood Masala.

This movie idea is inspired by Run Lola Run....Well the best part is that it is known as inspiration not copy....Its purely original and at the times ...far excellent than Run Lola Run.......

This should be at-least 8+ on IMDb.

The very original idea tells you about the possibility to live 2 lives at one time. Thereafter, you need to make real choice out of that. The movie never said that a good is always good in fact in between you will conclude that bad way is the leading way.

Due to human values, our protagonist chooses the good way and then movie gets just 0.01% weak.

Again a very good masterpiece from India, flopped due to poor marketing like Horror Story.

One should make an assumption from now onwards that any movie which has Vikram Bhatt's name in production or direction or writing can never be missed.

Everyone should watch it.

Its new story for Indian movie... Few songs could have been avoided for making it better. Over all its good one time watch for sure. I am surprised this movie failed to register at box-office. Its definitely one of the better movies release in calendar year. Not at all bad, how some other reviewers gave less than 5 star, it actually deserves 7 average, but giving 9 just to compensate the scale... Its movie you will choose without expectation, and you don't regret the time you invested in it for entertainment. Acting : 7/10 (most of crew did justice, not extra-ordinary but convincing). Story: 9/10 (this is unexpected surprise from the movie, which you will be expecting ordinary and it comes with extra-ordinary stuff). Direction: 6/10 (not bad, not excellent). Action : 8/10 (better for low budget film).

This movie could have been narrated better by better direction and screenplay. Let's start with why did not people go in the theater to watch it, in order of high-low factors.

1)Bad Marketing - Movie was marketed as if it was the story of a Casanova.

2)Wrong choice of actresses - Three girls who play their roles in the story did not know how to act.

3)Bad Direction - Poor direction. It could have improved at particular parts and improve the film.

4)Unnecessary songs - Songs look forced, especially "Iss Qadar Pyaar Hai" which were added for marketing purposes.

Things which were good in the movie.

1)The story.

2)Kunal Khemu's acting, action, expressions, clothes, hair.

This movie surely has it's own flaws but surely it doesn't deserve 5 stars........

Atleast 7 stars should be given to a nice concept

'Bhaag Johnny' rides on a interesting premise, but the execution is plain average. Despite a few thrills & a leading man who delivers, this thriller is shunned down by erratic Writing & unwanted Songs.

'Bhaag Johnny' Synopsis: Johnny is asked by his Screwed boss, to kill an innocent girl. A Genie, however, gives Johnny, the opportunity to live two lives, one being in which he kills the girl & the other in which he doesn't. Chaos follows...

'Bhaag Johnny' doesn't make much use of its promising premise. Once the protagonist starts living both the lives, the excitement & the pacing one expects from the narrative, is mostly missing. However, the action-sequences are expertly done & some sequences, particularly in the film's last half, hold your attention. Also, there are too many songs in the goings-on, which honestly, add nothing to the story. They needed to be chopped off!

The Screenplay is exciting, but in parts. Stronger Writing was needed here! Shivam Nair's Direction is alright. Cinematography captures the exotic locales of Thailand, nicely. Editing needed to be crisper. Music by Various Artists is good, but in the film, they appear forced.

Performance-Wise: Kunal Khemu is a terrific actor & he pitches in a dependable performance, yet again! As Johnny, the torn protagonist, the actor expresses naturally & excels in the action bits. Zoa Morani is barely convincing. Mandana Karimi, (Who's in Bigg Boss now), is ordinary. Manasi Scott shines as the vamp. Mukul Dev is wasted. Ditto for Vikram Bhatt.

On the whole, 'Bhaag Johnny' utilizes only half of its potential.
