![]() ![]() Debutant Vetriselvan has stuck to a realistic treatment for the most part, and unlike Mankatha’s cold-blooded, and partially-psychotic Vinayak Mahadevan, who takes calculated risks to get the money, Johnny’s Shakthi is more of a victim of circumstances, who is forced to clean up the mess he created during his first heist. While both films revolve around a con gone wrong, and a bunch of bad men on the hunt for the lost money, the execution and screenplay are what sets them apart. The crux of Johnny is almost identical to the one-liner of Mankatha: ‘Anju peru ketavanga, adhula oruthan romba ketavan’. Only, the film I got reminded of wasn’t Johnny Gaddaar, but Ajith’s Mankatha. I considered watching the original before reviewing the Tamil version, but chose not to as I wanted to experience Johnny as a stand-alone film without constantly drawing comparisons in my mind.īut despite my precaution, I found myself doing just that. The trailer of Prashanth’s Johnny made it evident that the film is a remake of Neil Nithin’s debut Hindi film, Johnny Gaddaar.
