quick review: A bunch of non-actors pull off heists in the remake of The Italian Job. And there are new twists of course! It's an Abbas-Mustan film after all! And yet it is not as bad as the promos look.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

A bunch of strangers are put together to pull off a heist worth Rs.10,000 crore. All for an altruistic cause, of course. This then turns into a good-at-heart thief versus heartless thief battle. A battle of making fools out of each other.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • The cable jump in the introductory heist. Was badly executed and edited.
  • Villains with wreaths!? Whatever...
  • Women and their aesthetics help solve a crime! Goodness!!
  • Mockery of police - very lame.
  • Victor's (Vinod Khanna) altruism.
  • How did each character know which Samsung phone was meant for them?
  • Why do the bikers take so long to get their guns out in the last chase?
  • Johnny Lever's track.

vinay:

Another rip off of a good movie. But the good part is they have honestly declared this as a remake and made it officially, unlike Sanjay Gupta's copies of Reservoir Dogs and Old Boy.

Roy:

@Vinay Official remake or not, at least Sanjay Gupta's copied films are better than the nonsense twists and direction of the white bros. Excluding Zinda, Kaante and Musafir were great remakes. Musafir was much better than the original.

Guddu:

Meetu your review is very genuine and fair but i think the movie is not that bad compared to recent release as your verdict says.@Vinay yeah Sanjay Gupta's Kaante was indeed termed by tarantino as finest remake although being a unathorized remake .

Sadda Adda:

Bollywood is now very addicted to remakes in name of inspired movie. I seriously don't like the this concept.Why don't we can have a original movie story . Every time i look for Hollywood movie for a good story .

meetu:

@Vinay @Roy it's always going to be a tough call between badly made legal remake vs. well-made illegal copy.

@guddu i think that's what i just said, it is ok. i don't think it should be trashed all together.

@sadda adda :D
