They did use the Alzheimer. That confusion of her made Govind Namdeo's character believe that the Nurse and Daya is running away with the money.

There is one more detail, now this isn't my observation but I heard this on " The Internet Said So" Podcast. Where it was remarked that when you have a limited actor (or debuting) you surround said actor with other great actors so they can do the heavy lifting while also covering some of the limited actor's flaws. This was a stroke of genius by Sriram Raghavan and the casting director. I also don't mean to undermine Neil Nithin Mukesh but this was his debut film so it is expected that his acting wouldn't be as advanced and he would have limits.

Back when this movie got released, i promoted it so extensively among my friends that they started calling me 'Gaddar.'

[@rishabhaniket1952]

The film is a gem for film nerds bcoz it has been made by one. It is the perfect homage to stylistic noir and black comedy films while still feels rooted in Indian sensibilities. It is India's Pulp Fiction imo, sadly it was not hyped or promoted that way by the industry and press at the time.

[@macksequeira4233]

What do you expect from cinema illiterate Hindi audience who only appreciate masala crap movies both in Hindi Cinema and specially the south

[@jaideepsagar7773]

Started this episode. Realised haven't watched the film. Went and watched it (loved it). Now came back here.

[@Firozshaikh1973]

Thank u urgita fr mentioning GHANCHAKKAR it's one of my favorites

[@rmk1079]

There was an alternative ending in the DVD

[@Firozshaikh1973]

The suspense is reverse where the audience know the killer but characters in the movie don't know why and what is happening

[@kaustubhraizada]

three things audience didnt liked was killing of vinay pathak , dying of hero third i dint remember as i was a kid that time

[@nayanontherocks]

Also since Sriram used to stay in Evershine nagar - Malad The delivery guy is from Uncle’s Kitchen 😊

[@dhavalmalte]

What delivery guy?

[@nayanontherocks]

@@dhavalmalte in the climax…at Zakir Khan’s home they order chinese from Uncle Kitchen

[@dhavalmalte]

Oh I haven't seen the movie since a while, hence forgot the scene

[@Firozshaikh1973]

I always thought that why they didn't make a spinoff second part with the characters like Ashwini kalsekar

[@Firozshaikh1973]

Their was another movie TERA KYA HOGA JOHNNY which was I think never releashed in theatre it was a brilliant movie

[@jaideepsagar7773]

Ye urjita humesha apna hairband hath me bandhti h, merko cute lagta h.

[@dhavalmalte]

I used to think Tera Kya Hoga Johnny is sequel to this movie

[@Firozshaikh1973]

I thought that nobody is seen the movie

[@nayanontherocks]

#BoycottAbbas & #BoycottUrjita for not having watched Johnny Gaddaar and still hosting has it aged well.. We want Siddhaarth to be new host of Has it aged well...!!! Or Anupam to host !

[@sharam5614]

First of all they saw the movie. Yes boycott urjita cause she is not funny tbh she is absolutely annoying.

[@nayanontherocks]

@@sharam5614 ok lets #boycotturjita only then #justkidding🤑

[@macksequeira4233]

​@@sharam5614haan urjita bas bakchodi ke liye, usko Cinema ke baare mein ghanta knowledge hai aur action thriller film mein woh action scenes aur gore scenes skip karke dekhti hai, kya murkh stree hai

[@prayagghadi6081]

Kitna off the topic baat karoge... Johnny Gaddar 2007 ki classic crime thriller thi... 2007 me aisa masterpiece indian movies me dekhne nahi milta tha...
