Johnny Walker Week

Ask any devotee of classic Hindi cinema about their favourite comedian, and chances are they’ll name Badruddin Kazi, better known as Johnny Walker. The legendary Johnny Walker, from being a conductor on a BEST bus, went on to act in over 300 films, playing some of Hindi cinema’s most lovable characters: the tel-maalish-wallah, Abdul Sattar; the pickpocket Master, the hilarious, but with hidden depths, Isa Bhai Suratwala.

So, to celebrate the birth anniversary (on November 11) of Johnny Walker, a special week on Dusted Off. Reviews of Johnny Walker’s films, a listing of some of my favourite Johnny Walker roles, and three special guest posts, written by Johnny Walker’s daughter Tasneem Khan and her son Nabil.

Here is the list of posts that comprised Johnny Walker Week:
