OK!! So abbas mustan are here after a long gap of 3 years with a remake of Italian Job which surely deserves a Bollywood remake!! A little nuance here, a spicy song there and some desi style comedy but all that we got is a khichadi of Hollywood and Bollywood. Director is surely the captain of the ship but this time even the charismatic duo of a abbas- mustan were also unable to save the ship. The male protagonist played by Abhishek Bachhan is the most weakest of performances. Probably he is not tailor made for such action flicks and cheesy dialogues. Bobby Deol who has played so many blinders in duo's thrillers has a very little role and dialogues to impress the audience but still he does a decent enough job. Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor are mere pieces of eye candy and thus don't have much to play with. Although Bipasha did justice with her role. The only saving grace about the movie was Neil Nitin Mukesh. I mean this boy has got some real talent and with this antagonists role he has done no damage to his image whatsoever. The technology part that is shown in the movie is all superficial and the director never tries to show the audience how particular thing is happening although its practically impossible to show each and every part but at least an effort was required there. Even the hardcore Bollywood lover would also say that there are too many bloopers to ignore. Even the songs are of average level and no signs of them even getting to a hit level and the most that they manage to do is to break the rhythm of the movie just when you think, OK, the movie is catching some pace. All in all a disaster from Abbas-Mustan and not even a one time watch for many. PROBABLY, bollywood film makers should now think twice before remaking such high intense projects.
