Bhaag Johnny the name of the movie and the star cast does not seem to be convincing to catch the audience to the theaters. Kunal the lead gets caught by her sexy boss (Manasi Scott) reg some goof up in the office and she tells her to spare him if he kills some girl( Zoya Morani) in the process he gets help of a Djin (Vikram Bhatt) who gives him the option to live 2 lives and Kunal aka Johnny can decide which way he wants to go.... Sounds Interesting. Yes! this is the story of Bhaag Johnny. But the movie falls flat due to poor direction. The director is not able to create the tension and the suspense which is demanded and makes it boring for the audience.
Why the hell will somebody who has the police and the entire bunch of people after him have the audacity and the time to romance & sing songs kiddish !.... ( Urgency and the build up tension is missing)
Saving grace of the movie is Mansai Scott as a shrewd Boss. Kunal Sparkles on and off but he has a long way to go as he is not playing a child character any more.
Bottom line....... The movie could have been better if the character's could have added some more weight. The Thriller and the suspense element of the movie is completely useless so, u will wonder whether you have watched a Thriller, Suspense, Romantic or a Fantasy movie...

First of all, credits to the writers for introducing a new concept into Bollywood that has been off late been reworking on some done to death concepts, so good job there. The concept is about Johnny (Kunal Khemu) given an opportunity by a Genie (i'll come back to this later) to live two lives, where he has to see which life would be better, the one where he kills the girl or the one where he saves her from his boss's goons and at the end Johnny and we audience are left to decide which life he should choose.
The concept as i said is good but you know this story could have been way better if the incidents happening in both lives were very close to one another ( example - if the story was to give us and johnny to decide between wrong and a more wrong it would have been absolutely sick AF) making it difficult for johnny to choose which life to continue with. At the end you will realize it becomes very easy for us audience to guess which life Johnny would choose cuz it is choosing between good side and a bad side. At that moment, you will realize that the story is nothing but some story straight out of your 5th class Moral Science book but with action added in it. In other words, the story is very predictable.
Most of the scenes in this film have a half-baked treatment, some feel cringy like Johnny and Rachael escaping on a bike when out of nowhere a love song starts playing. Also, that Genie (played by our horror man Vikram Bhatt) kinda looked cringy to me but i also cant see how this concept of two lives could have been introduced without the presence of some God like stuff.
Kunal Khemu was the only thing i liked about this film. The female leads have nothing much to do other than just run around with Johnny.
Overall, story is very average and predictable, concept is great and more films should be made like this with a more difficult choice to make at the end , and okok execution.

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.

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.

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).
