Trivia

Prior to shooting this film, stunt director Allan Amin decided to make Sonam Kapoor get comfortable behind the wheels of Mini Cooper as she is very tall. She practiced for 10 days. However, during one of the practice sessions, she hit a lamp post in Wellington as she accelerated while reversing her car.

Goofs

The movie starts in Amsterdam. However the guards at the jewelers are kitted in Russian looking jumpers, not the nationwide used security 'uniform' with the 'Tick'. They are armed too, which is not allowed for Dutch security guards (but could be excused for dramatic purposes). Also the streets are clearly not in Holland, most clearly to be seen due to the road signs with are clearly not Dutch

Remake of The Italian Job (2003)

User Reviews

An Awful Remake

Italian Job, an action thriller which was remake in 2003 now in Indian accent again in 2012 by Bollywood and it was seriously a waste of money time and energy. I wish they would have kept the way it was, unnecessary twists, unrealistic stunts and proud gesture by actors showing that they know about the future as they are going to win anyhow. Abhishek good at times but most of the time very over confident same goes for bipasha and actor like bobby deol completely wasted. Neil nitin mukesh did good job at times but he also gets irritating most of the time and Sonam Kapoor undefinable she does not even know how to act in a glamorous character. On the whole if Italian job is 8 out of 10 then this is 1 out of 100 seriously.
