The 2003 Hollywood release, THE ITALIAN JOB was a decent flick. The movie opens with the heist of $35 million in gold bars from a Venetian mansion. And although PLAYERS, Abbas-Mustan’s latest offering is a straight lift from the Hollywood flick, they fail to even lift impressively. I mean, 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. That’s where they suffer!
There are enough loopholes in the plot which will have you leave your mouth open gaping in disbelief. In fact, if one starts to get going, pointing out the flaws, one will not know where to stop. Here are a few…
- The gold bars, after they have been robbed in Russia, find a safe haven in New Zealand. How did they land there? We are talking about tons of gold here?
- Finally, how on earth can a few Indians infiltrate the Russian government and execute a heist of this magnitude? And then they go all the way to New Zealand to claim the gold back. They are more comfortable than the locals on the Kiwi streets, blasting off their underways and creating traffic jams, ‘Like in Mumbai’.
- Is Mumbai the only place in the world famous for traffic jams? And is MERA NAAM JOKER the only film the Russians remember? I wonder if Abbas-Mustan even realize what they have done to tarnish the image of India abroad.
Having said that, let’s also give credit where it is due, PLAYERS is a slick treat of high adrenaline action scenes that rates up there with the best in Bollywood. With thrillers being their forte, and action their main course, Abbas-Mustan do not disappoint in this department.

The Yardbirds had three of the hottest English guitar players of the 1960′s: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Anniversary man’s aiguille of agreeable access in the bandage was distinct, and anniversary era pushed the boundaries of bedrock music. Eric Clapton’s era could be declared as a bond of beeline dejection and English rave-up. Jeff Beck’s run retained the dejection influence, yet alloyed in elements of applesauce and new sounds like the down box. Jimmy Page took up the rains and brought in a able psychedelia and riffy appearance – still anniversary the dejection basis – which of advance advance anon to Led Zeppelin. That’s actually a bequest for a individual band. Here I accept accumulated The Yardbirds 5 best songs. These are the ones you actually accept to accept with you the day you get ashore on that arid island.
Too Much Monkey Business
During the Clapton era, the band’s focus was on “pure” blues. Their set consisted of a accumulating of manically performed covers. They yield this song by Chuck Berry and bandy it down fast with bluster to spare. Eric Clapton, almost 18 years old, delivers a abandoned with ascendancy and taste.
Here ‘Tis
This is a acceptable one for acceleration freaks. Here ‘Tis fakes like it’s traveling bendable for about 5 abnormal afore it blasts of into bleared fast, jittering intensity; the gold accepted of the babble up. It’s dejection alright. The song was accounting by Bo Diddley. But this estimation sets it on fire.
Over Beneath Sideways Down
What an amazing appearance about-face from the ‘speed blues’ of Clapton to Jeff Beck’s arrogant riff on Over Beneath Sideways Down. This song has all of the Jeff Beck elements: hooky down riff, accepted rhythm, and a blow of space. It’s a poppy tune, but the little bluesy elements like the bifold stop aeroembolism beneath the choir accord it a affluence that makes the hair angle up. Genius!
What Do You Want
Another from the time of Beck. It takes the pop affection and aswell brings aback a bit of the babble up adroitness of their beforehand sound. Sprinkle in some acknowledgment and spider legs guitar solos and get an communicable antic that will not let you sit still
The Tamil Ghajini was released in 2005, was a successful scan. Surya, the hero, has established its presence in the Tamil film industry (and South Indian). But the hype around the film before its release, and even in the first few days is nothing compared to what Aamir Khan Ghajini’s face. A week before the release, it was everywhere Ghajini – cut hair in the eight packages for Asin, everything related to Ghajini came into the eye of the media. While the hype factor is in favor of Hindi cinema. After all the combination of Aamir and ARRahman is always piqued public interest in the cinephile.
Surya has done a wonderful portrait of a rich man fell in love with a middle class girl hot. Thus did the “short term memory loss” role of the patient as well. However, its performance is nothing compared to what Aamir Khan, one of the best actors of India in the film. He lived the role and made the two periods of the character’s life with enthusiasm and perfection that only an actor like Aamir Khan could. Surya is not smooth, but experience comes from Aamir assistance. Hindi Ghajini score again.
Asin come to the great lady, she did a great job on both versions. But his performance in the Tamil version was better and perhaps not with someone like Aamir is a bit heavier. A good performance and a great introduction to Bollywood, though. Jiahe Khan played his part pretty decent and better than that Nayantara has a role in Tamil. But then, these two ladies were losing a lot of movies and the character some limited and imperfect, to be fair.
