All you brave Indian filmmakers, do pick up classics, but first, get a bit classic yourself and learn about cult film making which is so much different from commercial cinema. You'll find the difference. Your Bollywood ventures end up like cold cuts - stylishly done - are so different from piping hot goulash.
-
A crisp and cool adaptation from a foreign source it beats every other action-adventure flick in recent Bollywood history.
-
...out-and-out entertaining flick.
-
Bollywood has realized it can camouflage its lack of stories with lots of thrills, chases, heists making the location exotic and the villains international even if it has to finally buy the remake rights legally.
-
If you are itching for a masaledar movie, watch this one. It is funny, intentionally and unintentionally.
-
...you have a ready plot, you know what each actor's role ought to be and the screenplay is well laid out. All they have to do is adapt it to the Indian audience which, frankly speaking requires a little imagination.
-
...stunning visuals and superb action sequences are plus points for the flick. But finally, its lackluster screenplay might prove its undoing.
-
...might work a slight shade better only because the expectations from it are so low.
-
...it never makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously and manages to successfully Bollywood-ise a Hollywood speciality - the big-budget heist movie.
-
...fast-paced khichdi...
-
...is the kind of film that lacks a cohesive vision.
-
...a synthetically made formula thriller. It does not touch you emotionally. But a good watch nonetheless.
-
...rides mainly on the clout of its credible director duo [Abbas-Mustan], daredevil stunts and stunning visuals. But, most importantly, it is deficient of a captivating screenplay.
-
...lacklustre and unimaginative.
-
...the film's best portions are the ones where it borrows directly from the source; the minute it diverts and adds Bollywood masala, the film stagnates.
-
That little unpardonable deed aside, Abbas Mustan ensure Players to be a laugh-riot, a comedy the writers of The Italian Job could have never imagined possible.
-
Stylish and fast-paced, a few good performances could have turned this into a decent Bollywood job.
-
A few players intend to share the loot, given the plan or plot (borrowed from Hollywood) is already in place. That’s the story of this film. It could be the story of its making as well!
-
...flat script, flatter action scenes, and the flattest bunch of actors, all milling about in one film.
-
...a truly desperate attempt at jamming outdated elements in a two-and-a-half hour jamboree. The audience's intelligence is insulted throughout in this endless horror show of pyromaniacal explosions...
-
All talk, lots of action, no fun.
