SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A dry, sun-baked Indian neo-noir with an ordinary man pulled into a tightening criminal puzzle; it shares Johnny Gaddaar’s pulp pleasures, moral slipperiness, and controlled suspense.
02
Why this pick
Sriram Raghavan brings the same confident command of crime, betrayal, and dark irony, but with a more bruised, revenge-driven emotional weight and patient escalation.
03
Why this pick
Its impeccably engineered chain of lies, accidents, and shifting allegiances delivers the playful noir tension and deliciously uncertain momentum that make Johnny Gaddaar so gripping.
04
Why this pick
A kinetic Mumbai underworld tale whose intersecting schemes, crooked loyalties, rain-soaked atmosphere, and heightened style echo Johnny Gaddaar’s energetic modern pulp sensibility.
05
Why this pick
For its sleek, restless urban-crime mood and a group of characters making increasingly dangerous choices, with tension driven as much by betrayal as by violence.

01 / THE STORY
The film starts out on a rainy night with a conversation between four cops in a police van, patrolling the streets of Mumbai. A car narrowly misses, colliding into them on the road, brakes and then continues on towards a house with iron gates. A man in a jacket gets out from the car, heads towards the garage, and opens the roller shutter door when he is shot from behind multiple times. At the same time, the cops in the van receive an alert on the radio that gunshots have been heard somewhere in the vicinity and they ask the driver to head towards the location of the gunshots.
