      Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Players comes off as a dismal first for Abbas-Mustan, with a flat script, flatter action scenes, and the flattest bunch of actors, all milling about in one film. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Russell Edwards Variety The helmers keep things moving apace, handling some major setpieces with considerable finesse, particularly the train robbery itself. Jan 11, 2012 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India Music by Pritam is good while it lasts. Some editing sorely needed, visual imagery quite polished, and the look as usual is of new age Bollywood. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The National (UAE) A feat worth its weight in gold. Rated: 4/5 May 15, 2018 Full Review Priya Joshi Digital Spy The players may well have got the gold in the end, but for cinematic endeavour, they'd be lucky to scrape a bronze. Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Itrath Syed Georgia Straight Bachchan is the strongest actor in this ensemble, but in this film that is not high praise. Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Ormkiiki88ii9ko9yood9oer4oodx edeo3 Z's Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I usually find myself inspired to review movies that compel me and in a way, Players did compel me, but for the wrong reasons. This movie is simply Terrible! It's so terrible that the word 'terrible' has been replaced by 'Players' in the Oxford Dictionary! The consistency is beyond poor and slack. When Sonam Kapoor is chatting with Abhishek Bachan, she is talking to him through a webcam in her car while he is on his phone chatting with her in the traditional way, phone to ear. How has she got him on a webcam then? How is he not aware he is on a webcam? Why is he talking in to a phone if they are talking through a computer? You may think i'm nit-picking but then there is the scene of the gold heist. Two trains running parallel to each other and Abhishek Bachan has a fight with two Russian soldiers and manages to pull them out of the train and drops them behind him. Logic would suggest they land under the wheels of the train running parallel to the 'Gold Train' but no.....they land comfortably in some snow. In the following shot, there is NO SNOW between the trains! Still nit picking? OK, when they manage to steal the bars of gold, packed by 10 or 12 in a packet, they handle them more like chocolate bars rather than gold bars. At one point, they carry the packages with ONE HAND! If you aren't finicky on the consistency of a movie or the lack there of, then bring some Nachos when you watch this movie. That way you can enjoy the cheese that oozes off the screen! Just be ready to choke yourself when Neil Nitin Mukesh starts talking to his home computer, 'baby'! Even new comers Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya, the bright spots, couldn't save this blatant copy of the Italian Job. In fact, you couldn't even call this 'The Poor Man's Italian Job.' It's more like a Leper stricken Fakir's Italian Job! The ONLY good thing about Players, was that it ended! Abysmal! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Ahmed M Players is a horrible copy of The Italian Job, and an unbearable movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/16 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic - That's what you end up exclaiming once the last twist of 'Players' takes you by complete surprise. Oh yes, there are around half a dozen or more twists in this film, something which was pretty much expected since the men at the helm of affairs are Abbas-Mustan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A stupid remake of my favorite heist movie THE ITALIAN JOB! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Good film, much similarity to the Italian Job. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
