But when it comes to script, they mess it up posing as more intelligent than the original writers of both the classics. With a big production house backing them, they make a visually stunning movie with all the glitters of gold shining in the grand foreign locations. This time Abbas-Mustan go legal and take the rights of making the film in Hindi as it should be done ethically. Now coming to the third Official Indian Remake of the same called PLAYERS, it fails to leave you satisfied due to its own faulty and un- required insertions. This updated version of the classic excelled its original with a great script, featuring two exciting robberies in just 111 minutes. The second Italian JOB got released in 2003 with some brilliant, well written additions in the same plot, introducing a traitor in the team with a second heist plan too executed perfectly. Along with that it had an open climax with a surprise. The main highlights of the film included the massive traffic jam plan and 3 mini coopers (small cars) chase sequence towards its end. Now the first one made in 1969 is a fine British film featuring Michael Caine as the leader Charlie, who plans a Big Gold robbery and the film revolves around only one heist in all till the climax. Abbad-Mustan's PLAYERS is based on two movies, "The Italian Job" made in 1969 and its Official Remake made in 2003 with the same name. But now when for the first time they have gone for An Official Remake of a Hit Cult Movie, they go all wrong with some hugely un-necessary moves ruining a fine exciting script. Keeping it straight, when they were copying, they were good. But sadly with PLAYERS the story is not the same unexpectedly. Quite astonishingly they sometimes have even given us better movies than the Originals like their last RACE. Throughout their career since the early 90s, director duo Abbas-Mustan have been making inspired films taking it all from the West, with a fairly good success ratio at the box office.
