Players

Players is Abbas-Mustan's try to create something different than Bollywood's typical style and he has definitely succeeded. The plot, the actions, frequent change in angles, the tricks and the technical touch made this movie riveting. I had liked his Race too, but this was definitely better. Abhishek, Bobby, Bipasha and mainly Neil; all have done justice to their acting. Sonam could have been better. But her stunts were nice. I felt she is suitable for this character more than the romantic ones. For a change, I liked Johny Lever too.

The rating to the movie would have increased if it was faster. In the first half the robbery part and the fighting scene between Abhishek and Neil were extremely slow. Later the movie caught the required pace though. The agility of the Hollywood characters make their movies impressive. If Bollywood actors and directors work more on this point, then their movies will also have the same standard. Also, I didn't find the need of dramatic emotional scenes in this kind of movie.

In spite of these negative points, movie makes you grounded to the seat for all 3 hours. So, a must watch!

Rating = 3.5 stars.
