Remake of the remake?

The article currently states that the film is "Based on the 2003 Hollywood blockbuster, The Italian Job", citing Press Trust of India. I think I've seen another source that agrees with this, but I cannot relocate it - EDIT: found it - it was Business of Cinema, cited elsewhere in the article. However other sources (such as The National, UAE and UrbanAsian) claim it is a remake of the original film. Still others (eg. Cineworld) say it is a remake of The Italian Job without specifying which version.

Can we find a definitive source which establishes for certain which is the case. I'm inclined to think it's based on the original, by my reading of the sources, a Bipasha Basu interview I heard which implied that this was the case and the film's use of original BMC Minis, rather than the BMW MINIs. However, this is somewhat speculative on my part and I would like something more concrete before I make any changes to the article.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Players (film)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

As of this version :

General

• References not formatted properly. They require these six fields : Title, url, publisher, author, date and accessdate. Also, the date and accessdate need to be uniformly set up. Newspapers, news channels and magazines need to be italicized.
• List of unreliable sources : 12, 16, 26, 34, 36, 44, 52, 54, 58, 61, 63, 65, 69, 71, 74, 90, 92, 94, 97, 98, 101, 103, 105, 107, 108, 112, 120, 122, 123, 157, 164, 174 and 176. Basically the two sites "Bollyspice" and "Glamsham". They need to be replaced.
• Poster in the infobox requires an ALT text.
• A copy-edit would undoubtedly raise the article, by a significant difference.
• Unwanted references exist everywhere, for instance, in the first sentence of the article i. e. The Mid-DAY report clarifies the statement, hence the other two can be removed.

Lead

• The first sentence requires the Indic script to be removed, per consensus at WT:IN.
• "an all star ensemble cast" - What is "all star"?
• "gold worth 100 thousand crores" - Currency? Symbol?
• "double crossed by some of their own team members." - POV

I have done up all the currency and other parts of the article. However, as an editor who has very limited contribution to this article, I would like to point out that the text of the article requires a good deal of clean-up; the prose in several areas sounds poorly written. I hope the nominator can look into that. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I hope so too. I've listed it in WP:GOCE to get it copy-edited and plan to hold the GA review for 30 days, because there seems to be no major contributor to this page. Secret of success (talk) 04:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

As there has been a very little amount of response to the article, it should be noted that I plan to finish the review within 30 days, and unless someone turns up, I shall be forced to fail the article. Secret of success 08:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

I think there is some issue with the twitter link. Ayanosh (talk) 08:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

As little response has been shown to this GA, I am failing it for now. This article has several problems, mainly with the prose and the sources. I would suggest that the above problems be fixed, and the article can be renominated after that. Regards, Secret of success (talk) 12:26, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
