Product [edit]

Development [edit]

Development on the project began in late 2009, when Viacom xviii approached Abbas-Mustan with the idea of remaking The Italian Job into a desi Indian version, and bought the remake rights from the original producers Paramount Pictures. At first, Abbas-Mustan were hesitant, but afterwards watching the 2003 remake of The Italian Job, they decided it would be a good idea to Indianise it. They spent around a year working on the script and making a few tweaks including two new characters, played past Basu and Deol.[xviii] [19]

Casting [edit]

Bachchan was the offset player to be signed, forth with Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh, to play the roles originally played by Marking Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Edward Norton in the original.[xx] Mukesh was approached for the negative role, as the directors were impressed by his performance in Johnny Gaddar (2007).[21] Rumours circulated of dissimilar names being linked and approached including Sonakshi Sinha, who opted out due to date problems,[22] to Anushka Sharma supposedly being called in to replace her.[23] [24] Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra had besides been approached to play the leading female person roles opposite Kunal Kapoor and Akshaye Khanna.[25] [26] [27] Khanna afterward claimed he was never approached and expressed disappointment in not being bandage.[28] Kapoor left the film out due to her family unit problems with the Bachchan's.[29] Deepika Padukone was also backed out, as she simply like Chopra felt "the female lead does non have a strong office to play".[29] Chopra was somewhen dropped in a controversial matter, citing differences with Bachchan and the directors.[30] [31] Later Abbas Mustan claimed that the moving picture was never offered to Chopra.[32]

At one point the film had no three male person leads and no female lead, which caused the directors to panic,[24] later on Kaif also backed out due to engagement issues. As the directors wanted a younger girl she was eventually replaced past Sonam Kapoor.[33] Kapoor walked out of the moving-picture show, as the director she was working with on another movie, Mausam, asked to concentrate solely on his film.[34] [35] However, she was signed again, as she managed to a lot dates, but due to heavy pressure from both projects, she passed out on the sets of Mausam.

Rumours circulated that Mukesh had been dropped, due to the poor commercial business of his Lafangey Parindey (2010), although it had been a profitable venture.[36] He later slammed the rumours saying "Arrey issme real ya unreal condition ki kya baat hai? (There is no question of existent and unreal status) It's pitiful that I am giving description on this when the fact is that I am already preparing for my office. The movie is pretty much on and I am also not going anywhere".[37] Every bit Basu was approached, she immediately agreed after she read the script and was "diddled away" by it. She had previously worked with Abbas-Mustan in her debut film Ajnabee (2001) and in Race (2008).[38] [39] Veteran thespian Vinod Khanna made a comeback since his cameo appearance in Dabangg (2010), and was chosen to play a minor merely central role as the mastermind of the heist over the likes of other Indian senior actors Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor and Dharmendra.[40] [41] Aftab Shivdasani was hired to play a guest cameo advent.[42]

It was Abbas Mustan's first time working with all the actors except for Basu and Deol, who they had previously bandage together in Ajnabee. The latter in five films,[43] along with Johnny Lever who has played small-scale roles in all but two of their films.[44] It was likewise the second pairing of Bachchan and Kapoor, who reunited later Delhi-vi (2009).[45] Bachchan had likewise worked with Basu and Sikandar Kher (son of actors Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher) in Dhoom 2 (2006) and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey respectively.

Bachchan was required to tone upward the nigh as he was the atomic number 82 character and had to perform dangerous train stunts.[46] For her role Kapoor, was required to larn to drive a car, although she had no previous experience. She practised in the pocket-size lanes of Juhu and after reassurance from her begetter Anil Kapoor to the directors, Kapoor drove, only to crash the car. Abbas Burmawalla commented on this "Our activity director Allan Amin felt that she should get comfortable zipping effectually in the Mini Cooper. And then about 10 days before we started shooting, Sonam started practicing driving the Mini. Withal, on the starting time twenty-four hour period, she accelerated while reversing, and banged into a lamppost".[47] [48] Basu was required to article of clothing a bikini during one of the songs,[49] had gained weight during the twelvemonth and worked with personal trainer Paul Britto, to ensure the perfect body. Her government included functional training with abdominal exercises, kickboxing, aerobic exercise, stretching and weight training.[50] [51] Shweta Bhardwaj, who was playing a pivotal grapheme in the film, was also required to physically tone up for an entirely different bikini scene.[52]

Filming [edit]

The second phase of filming began in New Zealand in mid January 2011, in locations across Wellington and Auckland.[57] [58] Wellington City Council closed some areas of the city centre for two weeks and so there would be no problems in shooting.[59] Scenes were shot across the Metropolis to Bounding main Span, Okarito Lagoon on New Zealand's Southward Island, Te Papa's Awesome Forces Museum, Cuba Mall and in the Tulsi Indian restaurant.[60] The replication of the "Mini Coopers" scene from the 2003 version of The Italian Job was filmed at Wellington Airport, which Bachchan had difficulty with due to his height, as he could not arrive and out of the cars apace.[61] In that location was some controversy when airport officials refused to give permission for filming when they felt it was unsafe; the scene required a plane to overfly three Minis, which were being driven by Bachchan, Kapoor and Kher, and miss by inches.[62] The traffic jam sequence involving the Minis was also shot in Wellington. 6th months before shooting had commenced in New Zealand, Abbas Mustan met with the Tourism Board and Picture show Council in Wellington and they put upward LED signs, to notify local residents of the street closure during that weekend.[63] [64] The coiffure finished shooting and left New Zealand just days before an earthquake hit the country.[65] [66]

The third schedule of shooting, which was the longest and most of import, began on April 2011 in parts of Siberia, St Petersburg and Murmansk.[67] For the shooting in Siberia, the directors had a lot of difficulty acquiring permission.[68] Similarly, they had also faced several problems during the shooting in New Zealand. Describing this ordeal, Mustan Burmawalla said, "We had to seek lot of permissions for a traffic jam scene to be shot in New Zealand and that took a long fourth dimension. While, in Russia we faced language problem, nosotros appointed well-nigh 25 interpreters. We needed them to assist us nigh basic things similar where to go to eat etc,".[69] Owing to the difficulty allotting dates, Bachchan had to exit another projection by Ram Gopal Varma titled Section, whom Varma would afterward blame for the dismal operation of the pic at the box part.[68] [lxx] The sequences involving the railroad train were directed by Filmfare award winning, stunt manager Allan Amin. Bachchan refused to have a body double for the scenes and performed all the dangerous stunts himself. During the sequence, he had to residual himself atop two trains which were travelling at approximately 100 km/h. He hitting his head on a rod on top of the train, simply still managed to complete the scene.[71] [72] During another scene Bachchan was left hanging past a rack on the train for around twenty hours.[73] While filming took place there, a group of Russian soldiers learnt that an Indian film was shooting nearby and joined the crew on the sets and requested to meet all the stars.[74]

Some of the scenes were filmed close to the Chill Circle, Arctic Body of water and at the North Pole, which was the first time a Bollywood flick had been filmed in that location.[75] [76] [77] However a slight trouble arose; no nutrient was available because of the extremely cold climate and anybody had to manage on packets of soups.[78] Shooting in Russia ended in late July 2011. The cast flew back to India, finalised a few last minute shots and songs, before the film went into the postal service production phase.

They had promised to break the boundaries of the activity genre, equally the major activity stunts and sequences in the motion-picture show were performed on par with Hollywood past the actors themselves.[85] This is rarely seen or done in Bollywood.[86] Kapoor who had previously played mostly girl next door type roles, brought a completely different look to her previous films, which attracted positive attention and was tagged as "sexy" past the media one time the films promo's released.[87] [88] [89] Some other reason the film had created curiosity was because none of the actors expect Basu had enjoyed much box office success,[90] while the rest were relative newcomers. Bachchan, who had been in the industry for over 10 years, had endured a serial of flops, in spite of this the directors were confident of him.[91]

Reception [edit]

Critical reception [edit]

Players received a mixed reception from critics.[123] Joginder Tuteja from IndiaGlitz gave information technology 4 out of 5 stars and said "Fantastic – That's what you end up exclaiming once the last twist of Players takes yous by complete surprise. Oh aye, at that place are around half a dozen or more twists in this film, something which was pretty much expected since the men at the helm of diplomacy are Abbas-Mustan".[124] Subhash K. Jha from Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Players does a first-rate job of adapting The Italian Chore. It'due south slick and well-written, eye-catching and intelligent, witty and delectable. It beats every other action-hazard flick in recent Bollywood history".[125] Oneindia.in also gave a positive review, and said that, "Players electrifies picture buffs with its hi-voltage activity. The highlights of the film are wonderful performances by the pb actors, stylised stunts, adrenaline-pumping chases, stunning visuals, Pritam's songs, and comic sequences. But the editing work is a large let downwards".[126] Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Music by Pritam is good while it lasts. Some editing sorely needed, visual imagery quite polished, and the look, every bit usual, is of new age Bollywood."[127] Daily Bhaskar rated it 3 out of 5 and said, "Management by Abbas-Mustan, cinematography and an edgy plotline are the stiff points. Music, dialogues and performances (too Bipasha and Neil'south performance) are the weak points".[128] Piyali Dasgupta from NDTV gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Players ends upwards every bit a fun weekend flick, especially for activeness buffs. Abhishek Bachchan shows some of the styles of the Dhoom series. Neil Nitin Mukesh, largely off the radar afterwards an intense operation. Bipasha, as well shows a hint of Race with her glamorous role and that red bikini. Sonam Kapoor somewhat redeems herself as an role player playing the practiced geek Naina. Merely don't look much from Pritam's music."[129] Zee News gave it 3 out of v stars and said, "Abbas Mustan'south 'Players' is a slick, fast paced and racy thriller. Technically the film is vivid, but when information technology comes to drama and emotions, the film falls flat on its confront.

Players also received a number of negative reviews.[132] Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave it 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "On the whole, Players rides mainly on the clout of its credible managing director duo [Abbas-Mustan], daredevil stunts and stunning visuals. Only, most importantly, it is deficient of a captivating screenplay".[133] Rajeev Masand of IBN Alive rated it 2 out of five and wrote, "Players is a fastpaced khichdi. Abhishek Bachchan is earnest, and thankfully dials down his trademark smugness to play the ringleader of the team. Neil Nitin Mukesh gets some interesting scenes to sink his teeth into. Bipasha Basu fills out a bikini nicely, but poor Sonam Kapoor changes her costumes and her hairstyle more oft than her expressions. What could have been a satisfying entertainer doesn't quite attain its potential.[134] Karan Anshuman of the Mumbai Mirror gave it 2 out of 5 stars.[135] Aniruddha Guha from Dna Bharat awarded information technology ii out of 5 and wrote, "The writing is juvenile, the dialogues a joke, the acting over-the-top, nonetheless everyone seems to be taking themselves so seriously".[136] Sukanya Verma of Rediff too gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Players is lacklustre and unimaginative".[137] Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times gave it 1.5 out of 5.[138] Komal Nahta from Koimoi rated it ane out of 5 and wrote, "Whats good? The railroad train robbery sequence; some one-act in the 2nd half; Omi Vaidya and Neil Nitin Mukesh's interim. Whats bad? The loose and uninteresting screenplay; the poor music; the dull acting of Abhishek, Sonam and Bobby".[139] Yahoo! Movies gave the film a rating of "Game Over" and said that, "the remake of "The Italian Job is definitely a chore taken non and then seriously".[140]

The soundtrack album received positive to mixed reviews. Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "'Players' delivers what ane expected from it. The need of the situation was to accept a racy score that complements the fast paced story telling of Abbas-Mustan. The song which has the most potential is 'Dil Ye Bekarar Kyun Hai', others would work every bit instant java that would go along the momentum up for the film's narrative".[162] Satyajit from Glamsham gave it iii out of 5 and said, "Players, a stylish packed hi-voltage action thriller has cool and reasonably good listening soundtrack to its credit. As anticipated from its huge expectations, it proves to be an above average matter merely lacks the zing and zeal of beingness 'spectacular' or 'globe-shattering' similar the composer's previous works in this genre (Dhoom, Dhoom 2 and Race), which have been big successes in their corresponding years of release".[163] Vanessa Barnes of Bolly Spice awarded information technology 2.v out of v and wrote, "Pritam has created exactly the type of soundtrack to perfectly fit and complement the material onscreen. I think that in conjunction with visuals, some of which we've already had a taste of in the promising, well-received trailer – the songs volition be constructive. The bad news? I recall as a whole, listened to on its own, the album is pretty average – and if you don't like machine-melody, or excessive remixes, steer well articulate".[164] Sukanya Verma from Rediff.com too gave the album 2.five out of 5 stars and said, "Afterwards four very popular albums this year, Ready, Bodyguard, Dum Maaro Dum and Mausam, Pritam dishes out yet another album that is a mix of sure-shot winners and drab space fillers."[165]

Remix Plans [edit]

"'Tamma Tamma Loge' was really in contention. Since it sounds quite like to 'Jumma Chumma' (both songs were actually based on Mory Kante's 'Tama Tama'), it was a no brainer to piece of work on either of the 2. However, the decision was shortly reversed as much time had already been spent in contemplation and multi city promotional tour was keeping the cast busy as well. Abhishek, Sonam, Bipasha and Neil have been travelling extensively and it would have been incommunicable to shoot the song, edit, promote and then include in the concluding print".

-Pritam Chakraborty (Players music composer)[88]

Because the anthology received mixed reviews from critics, Viacom 18 and T-Serial decided that Pritam'due south score had not lived up to the audience'due south expectations, too as Abbas-Mustan's reputation of having hit music in their films. Pritam'southward last piece of work with director duo in Race (2008) had sold well and helped the moving-picture show's initial run at the box part[166] and they decided to remix the hit song Jumma Chumma from Bachchan's father Amitabh Bachchan'due south hit picture Hum (1991). However, Abbas-Mustan were not very dandy on this, causing tension between them and the producers.[167] There were also plans to remix the vocal Tamma Tamma Loge from Sanjay Dutt's Thanedaar (1990), only plans to remix the song were scrapped as there was less than two weeks before the release of the picture show.[88]

Controversies [edit]

"There was damage to some locations. They worked 30 something, 32 days on the trot. That's a rubber concern in itself. Making it easier isn't necessarily the best approach. What we demand to exercise is find a way to get the 2 industries to work together, because they accept quite a unlike manner of working from u.s.a.."

President of the New Zealand Flick Technicians' Guild, Alun Bollinger[168]

During the shooting in New Zealand, authorities at an airport refused to give permission to film a scene, having decided information technology was too dangerous. An aeroplane was to fly a few inches above three cars, which were being driven by Bachchan, Kapoor, and Kher. The stunt directors Mark and Allan Amin apposite the scene, and the airport authorities finally gave permission considering it was an important scene.[169] The New Zealand Regime and the local motion-picture show crew were also unhappy and claimed the coiffure of Players had disregarded New Zealand laws and cared little for health and rubber concerns, took months to pay invoices and damaged some locations.[170] John Key, the Prime number Minister of New Zealand, had declared tax breaks for Bollywood films shooting in New Zealand to attract more film-makers. After Players did well at the New Zealand box role, laws allowing more than moving-picture show crews and actors to shoot there were to be enacted, causing concerns among the New Zealand people and authorities.[171]

Initially, the style Chopra left the projection, was deemed controversial, as it was said that the directors had been directly influenced by Bachchan. Bachchan and Chopra had previously starred together in several films, including one directed by Rohan Sippy, Bachchan's long time family friend. Information technology was reported that Chopra had refused to star in some other one of his films, due to this, Bachchan had asked her to be dropped.[32] [172] Still Abbas Burmawalla cleared Bachchan'due south name, proverb "The star cast of The Italian Job was finalized long time dorsum. We had signed Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif in the offset get and Katrina was always our get-go choice so there was no question of talking to Priyanka Chopra. She was never approached or spoken to for this role and then how can Priyanka lose out on a office she was never fifty-fifty considered for?".[32] [173]

Players received a U/A certificate. Controversy erupted regarding the Censor Boards clarification to a scene in which Kapoor is seen making a middle finger gesture, which was clearly visible in the promos of the film. Information technology was initially blurred out only was later approved later appeals from the directors and Kapoor, who stated, "I don't believe in censorship so whether they like it or non, I really don't care near information technology. I just want people to come and meet my film. Showing a center finger is a part of today's youth".[174] [175] Media criticised her, claiming "For Sonam Kapoor, showing eye finger is no big deal"[176] and the censor board for allowing the scene laissez passer without cuts or blurring; a similar scene in Ranbir Kapoor'due south Rockstar (2011) had also been allowed.[177] [178] The issue was brought to light once again, when cricketer Virat Kohli famously fabricated the gesture at Australian fans (2 days before the picture show'due south release) during the Commonwealth of australia vs India 2011–12 series.[179]

Touch [edit]

After the poor financial performance of Players, Bachchan's lack of success connected, and he was dropped from his side by side pic function.[180] The unexpected failure of the motion-picture show led to many trade industry analysts reinstating the belief of a jinx in Bollywood that the first-released picture show of the year always fails at the box part, which happened to the films Halla Bol (2008), Chandni Chowk To China (2009), Pyaar Impossible! and Dulha Mil Gaya (2010).[181] [182] This had been happening for years until 2011 when No One Killed Jessica became a "semi hit"[183] supposedly breaking the jinx. The analysts were confident that Players would exist successful.[184] [185]

Plans for a sequel to Players were scrapped[186] afterward major disputes began betwixt the directors Abbas-Mustan and producers Viacom 18, who claimed that Abbas-Mustan had made changes to the script without their consent and that the picture show had gone over budget from ₹450 million (US$5.9 meg) to around ₹800 million (US$10 million) which had caused them extra losses.[187] Bachchan, who was signed for approximately ₹70 1000000 (US$920,000), forfeited his payment of ₹28 million (US$370,000) and claimed he was "happy with the style the film was shot" and he turned down the balance fee owed to him.[188] The film initially recovered most of its toll through theatrical rights, sold for ₹350 million (U.s.$4.6 million) to Ponty Chadha, music rights bought by T-Series for ₹35 million (United states of america$460,000), and satellite rights that were sold to Zee TV for an gauge ₹170 million (U.s.$two.2 one thousand thousand). The full loss amounted to around ₹fourscore million (US$1.0 million).[189]
