Plot :It's
a given that hi-voltage action thrillers enthrall and electrify viewers
no end. The existing inclination within the industry is to opt for
remakes [of South Indian films specifically], though Abbas-Mustan have
continuously, in their three decade career, tilted towards western
thrillers to be specific. PLAYERS, their latest offering, is the
official remake of THE ITALIAN JOB. But it's not a scene to scene
adaptation of the classic that was attempted twice in the West. The core
conception remains the same, but the screenplay is amended significantly
to suit the Indian sensibilities.
A recreation or adaptation always leads to comparisons with the original
work. And Abbas-Mustan will have to pass this acid test, since THE
ITALIAN JOB is no regular film. Made twice in Hollywood [first in 1969
and then in 2003], THE ITALIAN JOB is a heist film with a variation.
Like I pointed out earlier, PLAYERS is an altered version of THE ITALIAN
JOB, catering more to the desi sensibilities. It's about a gang of
skillful, stylish and sharp players who join hands to carry out a heist.
Prepare yourself for a masala film with ample twists and turns, stunning
and gorgeous locales, stylized stunts and adrenaline-pumping chases,
lots of style and attitude and of course, the mandatory songs and comic
sequences... In that respect, PLAYERS is in a completely different zone
when one draws parallels with THE ITALIAN JOB.
One more clarification! When the promos of PLAYERS came on air, a lot of
people felt that it seemed like an updated version of DHOOM. But let's
spell this out at the very onset: There's no similitude between PLAYERS
and DHOOM, apart from the fact that both belong to the action genre.
DHOOM revolved around the cops-robbers face off, while the characters in
PLAYERS are all thieves.
Adventure movies made in Bollywood, by and large, stress on modish
imageries, while the actual concept takes a backseat. That's precisely
the trouble with PLAYERS. While a one-page synopsis of the film would
evoke euphoric and ecstatic reactions, it's the screenplay, with a
running time of almost 2.45 hours [20 reels], that lacks the power to
keep you enthralled and enchanted. In short, PLAYERS has style and
attitude, but what it lacks is soul and spirit!
PLAYERS is about a team of skilled and sharp group of people -- Charlie
[Abhishek Bachchan], Ronnie [Bobby Deol], Spider [Neil Nitin Mukesh],
Riya [Bipasha Basu], Bilal [Sikander Kher] and Sunny [Omi Vaidya] -- who
rob the gold bullion from Russia successfully. But one of them double
crosses the players and the team sets out, with Naina [Sonam Kapoor]
also included in their task now, to retrieve the booty and also settle
scores.
First things first! PLAYERS is an escapist fare, packed with ingredients
that are considered mandatory in a Bollywood film. So if you are under
the impression that Abbas-Mustan may have shunned the commercial
trappings since it is an official adaptation of THE ITALIAN JOB, you're
mistaken. PLAYERS doesn't imagine itself to be cinema that educates,
enlightens or mollifies an academician. Furthermore, Abbas-Mustan's
movies are never simplistic by nature. There are twists at the start,
twists in the middle and twists towards the finale and just when you
think that the movie's about to conclude, the director duo usually toss
yet another twist in your face, leaving you startled for a minute or
two. PLAYERS stays true to their style, but the twists here aren't the
type that shock, amaze or astonish. One of the twists -- about the
double crosser -- does catch you by surprise, but the remaining ones
don't and that's where the screenplay falters.
It's a screenplay of convenience. The manner in which the gang sets out
to execute the heist in Russia seems like a cakewalk or child's play,
which is so damn difficult to absorb. Common guys, you are talking of
robbing a nation's assets in broad daylight and the convenience with
which things fall into place makes the entire heist phony and fake.
Ditto towards the finale, when the chase ensues. Though the train
robbery [in the first hour] and the chase sequence [climax] leave you
awe-struck, the approach with which the gang sets out to achieve the
goal is what appears counterfeit. In fact, given the genre of the film
[a hi-octane thriller], one would've expected the writers to integrate a
dash of realism in the plot for the goings-on to look plausible and
credible, but the haphazard screenplay and the excessive length only
dilutes the impact generated by some wonderful moments that PLAYERS has
to offer.
It is accepted that Abbas-Mustan are forward-thinking directors. Not
only do they opt for varied plots for their films, but also think out of
the box when it comes to execution of the written material. Irrespective
of how their films are received at the ticket window, you cannot turn a
blind eye to the fact that they never pursue the trodden trail. But it's
the screenplay that lets them down this time. Since a large part of the
movie involves action and chase sequences [Allan Amin], the amalgamation
of thrills and daredevil stunts keeps you on the edge. Also, the scale
of the film is overwhelming. Filmed at the panoramic locales of Russia,
Netherlands, New Zealand and of course, India, the DoP [Ravi Yadav]
bestows the film with an international look. In fact, it's an incredibly
good looking film!
Pritam's music is, to put it bluntly, a minus point. One misses a
captivating soundtrack here. The music is deficient of the dynamism and
passion that one witnessed in Pritam's preceding works in this variety [DHOOM,
DHOOM 2 and RACE].
ZAMEEN was the first movie wherein Abhishek Bachchan's characteristic
macho style was detected by the spectators. Movies like DHOOM, DUS,
BLUFFMASTER and last year's DUM MAARO DUM strengthened his image
further. The actor flaunts his popular style and attitude with panache
in PLAYERS. Bobby Deol is wasted. Seriously, why is he sidelined in the
plot? Bipasha enacts the role of a con artiste with super confidence.
She looks fab and emotes with conviction. It's an image transformation
for Sonam in PLAYERS. She has never done a full-on glamorous role before
and PLAYERS should change the perception. However, the rawness, as an
actor, shows in a variety of scenes.
Neil Nitin Mukesh is entrusted with a challenging role, but he lacks the
charisma and skill to carry off the part with dexterity. Sikander Kher
has an insignificant role. As for Omi Vaidya, the less said the better.
He irritates and hams incessantly. Vinod Khanna is not in his element
either. Johny Lever is hilarious as the car dealer. Aftab Shivdasani
appears in a cameo.
On the whole, PLAYERS 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. Also, the film
could have done with judicious trimming for an enhanced impact. I for
one went in with colossal expectations, but came out feeling downcast
and disheartened. |
