Players (2011) *MQ*

Charlie (Abhishek Bachchan) is planning a major robbery of gold worth crores, which is being transferred from Russia to Romania.In order to accomplish his task, he seeks the help of his role model, Victor Dada (Vinod Khanna).The duo have a common aim, that of building an educational institution in their hometown, catering to children of all status.Victor Dada puts forward five names, who’ll also form part of their team- Ronnie (Bobby Deol), Riya (Bipasha Basu), Spider (Neil Nitin Mukesh), Bilal (Sikander Kher) and Sunny (Omi Vaidya), who are masters in their respective arts.Charlie ropes them in for the burglary and eventually succeeds in the task.Victor’s daughter Naina (Sonam Kapoor) knows the art of hacking and also gives her share of help.But, hell breaks loose, when one of them turns out to be traitor and flees away with the entire gold.Now, who is this traitor and whether the dream of Victor and Charlie to build up a school will be fulfilled by defeating the traitor is rest of the story.

Touted to be an official remake of The Italian Job, Players however, cries out a difference as the story is served with a desi tadka. Also, new dimensions in terms of characterisation have been added. Like, Vinod Khanna plays a passive player unlike the original character of The Italian Job, who leads the actual robbery. Also, Players is technologically well-advanced than original Hollywood flick although, the original is rich in terms of content. But, the flipside is the length of the film and performances which leave an intelligent direction in dilemma. The lack of energy in the actors, barring Bipasha and Neil leaves people yawning most of the times.

Abbas-Mustan rock as directors, but at times, they succumb to the poor screenplay and dialogue writing by Rohit Jugraj and Sudip Sharma. The betrayal in love and swapping of partners brings back the memories of Race, Abbas-Mustan’s last release. Nevertheless, full marks to the robbery sequence with high-end technology, worth a watch definitely. But again, as mentioned earlier, a dragged screenplay and low enthusiasm takes away the charm.
