‘Johnny Gaddaar’ (2007, IMDb: 7.8)
This often-overlooked gem, directed by Sriram Raghavan (known for the recent hit Merry Christmas), pays homage to classic 70s thrillers. It boasts a tight plot with unexpected twists and a killer soundtrack by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The storey revolves around Vikram (Neil Nitin Mukesh) and his friends, members of a gambling club. When greed clouds their judgement, a simple plan to steal money spirals into chaos. Neil Nitin Mukesh delivers a captivating performance, portraying a protagonist with shades of grey who isn't your typical villain. Inspired by James Hadley Chase's novels, 'Johnny Gaddaar' is layered with suspense, making it a must-watch for crime fans.

This action-packed thriller delivers a simple yet suspenseful plot. Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi) embark on a new life in a foreign country seeking better opportunities. However, their dreams are shattered when Nargis is abducted.
