Nobody could make a musical Hindi film thriller work like Vijay Anand. Johny Mera Naam (1970) had several things going for it, despite the rawness, awkwardness, formulaic proceedings and flimsiness of it all. One flimsiness example: In the opening credits, the film title appears in blood dripping red font, for some strange reason.
But the Dev Anand chemistry with Hema Malini and Pran is rollicking, so is the Kalyanji-Anandji soundtrack. At almost three hours and still entertaining. Check out the opening scene boxing match between siblings. A unique Vijay Anand touch.
