THE TIMES OF INDIA
Critic's Rating: 3.5 STARS
verdict:
Hundred
movies to see before you die! All you brave Indian filmmakers, do pick
up classics, but first, get a bit classic yourself and learn about cult
film making which is so much different from commercial cinema. You'll
find the difference. Your Bollywood ventures end up like cold cuts -
stylishly done - are so different from piping hot goulash.
BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA
Critic's Rating: 2 STARS
verdict:
On the whole, PLAYERS rides mainly on the clout of its credible director
duo [Abbas-Mustan], daredevil stunts and stunning visuals. But, most
importantly, it is deficient of a captivating screenplay. Also, the film
could have done with judicious trimming for an enhanced impact. I for
one went in with colossal expectations, but came out feeling downcast
and disheartened.
ONE INDIA ENTERTAINTMENT
Critic's Rating
: GOOD
The music has failed to bring back the dynamism and passion that he had in the music of
Dhoom,
Dhoom 2 and
Race. Overall,
Players may match with
The Italian Job in its classic standards, it is obviously a good commercial entertainer.

players is lacklustre and unimaginative
DAILY BHASKAR
Critic's Rating
: 3 STARS
verdict:
Direction by Abbas-Mustan, cinematography and an edgy
plotline are the strong points. Music, dialogues and performances
(besides Bipasha and Neil's performance) are the weak points.
On the whole, Players is not flawless, but can be surely given a shot.
