Bhaag Johnny

The storyline of this movie is not much interesting. Their acting is superb. The story should be more improved

Saw this flick some days ago just out of curiosity for low IMDb ratings, and of course for the leading man himself, Kunal Khemu. He has been giving some really edgy and solid performances (Go Goa Gone).

For people reading this,don't ever give in to low IMDb ratings...this is a highly excellent movie with just the required amount of twists and turns,though you need to follow the parallel plots at the same time.I won't give in the plot details,just that the protagonist gets a chance to lead 2 lives simultaneously - based on a pivotal decision.

Kunal gives yet another good performance,ably supported by the ladies.The only weak point here could be the two romantic songs "Kinna Sona" and "Iss Qadar", which get included at the wrong points (but are good songs nevertheless).

Go for it...it's worth the watch.

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

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.
