Players is a Bollywood heist film, which electrifies movie buffs with its hi-voltage action. The highlights of the movie are wonderful performance by lead actors, stylised stunts, adrenaline-pumping chases, stunning visuals, Pritam’s songs and comic sequences. But the editing work is big let down in it.

Story:

The movie is all about a gang of skillful, stylish and sharp players, who team up to carry out a heist. Unlike The Italian Job, Players lacks a captivating screenplay. Abbas-Mustan have added some extra elements, which were not there in the original classic and they make the movie very lengthy and boring. Trimming of certain sequences could have enhanced impact of the movie.

Charlie (Abhishek Bachchan) is the catalyst behind the mission to steal gold worth crores. His role model Victor Dada (Vinod Khanna) helps Charlie form a team of explosive expert Bilal (Sikander Kher), illusionist Rony (Bobby Deol), Spider (Neil Nitin Mukesh), Riya (Bipasha Basu), Naina (Sonam Kapoor) and makeup expert Sunny (Omi Vaidya).

The team sets a deadline of 10 odd minutes to steal the gold from a moving train, which leads to a series of events, which will be interesting to watch on the big screen.

Presentation:

The directors have come up with a rehashed storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was fast paced. The dialogues were charged up, the script was written with commercial value and screenplay was apt. Background score was good but songs were not upto the mark.

Cinematography was top notch. Editing was regular. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was suiting the moods. Abhishek Bachchan has come up with a different performance and makes his presence felt.

Bipasha Basu looks super sexy and hot. Neil Nitin Mukesh was not that great. Bobby was not
used to his potential. Sonam Kapoor was different. Sikander Kher was good. Omi Vaidya was apt. The others did their bit as required and added value.

Conclusion: The film is the remake of the Hollywood hit The Italian Job but then it is better to stay away from the comparisons. As such, the film is quite rich in terms of the visual packaging and style but then it is the content and screenplay which hampers the momentum.

While the first half goes about with the layering of the plot, the second half is about the various twists and turns. Moreover, the length is a bit on the higher side. If it was trimmed then it would have created an impact. Overall, this is a film which is a major visual feast but hollow in substance. At the box office, this could be an average grosser.

Rating : 2.5 / 5
