Well apart from some great action scenes, nothing is worth the effort of sitting through the long and tangling/twisting story line. Ms. Basu cannot deliver the dialogues for sure.....They should have kept only a few twists rather than just annoying the audience with the whole lot of twists. It's an old plot of step brothers with hidden rivalry basically. The women in the movie keep adding more confusion. All in all go out and see it if you have nothing else to do.

The Director duo Abbas-Mustan are back with yet another thriller movie titled “Race”. Race is the story of 2 brothers – Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Rajeev Singh (Akshaye Khanna). They breed horses on their huge ranch houses and are one of the biggest bookies in the horse racing circuit.

The elder brother Ranvir is known to be very smart and aggressive while Rajeev is a constant alcoholic.

Sophia (Katrina Kaif) is Ranvir’s personal secretary and loves him. Ranvir is however ignorant of her feelings towards him.

Shaina (Bipasha Basu) is an Indian Model and shares a beautiful relationship with Ranvir. But fate has some other plans for her. She gets married to Rajeev and her world is shattered when she discovers that he is a chronic alcoholic.

Rajeev is still addicted to alcohol although he promised his elder brother that he would leave it after marriage.

In a moment of truth Ranvir and Shaina come close to each other and an affair begins. All hell is broken loose when Rajeev suspects his wife of double crossing.

A Murder is committed.

Enter Robert.D. Costa(Anil Kapoor), a detective who lives by his values. He is desperate to find out the truth and arrest the perpetrator. He is very clever and has a bizarre addiction to fruits. Mini (Sameera Reddy) is R.D’s personal assistant and is as dumb as sexy she is.

Thus the Race begins as the story unfolds in a series of unexpected twists and turns and a nail-biting climax which is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. With brilliantly executed action sequences and an intriguing storyline, Race is certainly a movie to watch out for.

Movie in short: Akshay khanna is Saif's southela bhai. Saif is a good fellow with lots of love towards his brother. Akhay khanna want to cheat his brother and kill him for his insurance amount of millions of dollars. Who wins in this cheating game is the movie. +ves: Saif, Saif & Saif. Saif steels the show with his appearance and his acting. He looks like a macho in his new look. -ves: Too many turns and twists and worse thing is many of those are not given enough background. ex: In the last 15 mins, the viewer comes to know that Akshay is not Saif's own brother. ex: Bips role is not justified. Except skin show there is nothing interesting from Bips and Khatreena. Movie looks classy but the dialogues and mannerisms didn't suit the classiness of the movie. Specially, the dialogues of Anil Kapoor and Akshay are worse. Ex: "Shaadi chote bhai ke saath aur honeymoon bade bhai ke saath!!!!!". I would definitely not like to watch the movie second time. If you like Saif.. Go watch it.

Being a big(read very BIG) bollywood fan, I was beginning to feel restless after Mid February. No major release at all. I m used to my staple diet of Hindi films regularly.Jodhaa Akbar was the last biggie and it took almost more than a month for the next one!!(of course there were some forgettable ones in between). So when the advance booking opened for RACE, I booked the tickets for the first day.. Tips Films got the right kind of buzz for the film..Music rocking the charts, excellent publicity, awesome promos and moreover the presence of current heartthrob, Chhote Nawaab, in the film. So what is Race all about .... Race is the story of two Step brothers Ranveer(Saif) and Rajeev(Akshaye)..Ranveer is a shrewd, calculative and practical guy. His only weakness is his unconditional love for Rajeev. Whereas Rajeev is a laid back ,casual guy. Rajeev?s weakness - alcohol They own a Stud farm in Durban, they breed horses and are one of the biggest bookies..The whole business is taken care by Ranveer alone. Rajeev is always drunk and has no interest in the going-ons of their business. Ranveer is ably assisted by his secretary Sophia(Katrina) in his work. Sophia adores Ranveer, but Ranveer looks unaware of her feelings.. Sonia(Bipasha) is an upcoming model and has befriended Ranveer. Ranveer and Sonia are very close and its only a matter of time when Ranveer is gonna "pop the question"! But fate has something else in store for them. At a party, Rajeev sees Sonia and falls for her. He promises Ranveer, that, if Sonia comes in his life, he would mend his ways.. Ranveer being the good and responsible brother, sacrifies his love. He distances himself from Sonia. Sonia finds comfort and new love in charming Rajeev..Rajeev and Sonia get close and just when Sonia thinks, Rajeev is gonna propose her. Rajeev startles her(and audience as well) with some of the documents/facts of Sonia?s life, which are obviously not portraying anything good about Sonia. Some crisp dialogues are mouthed and a deal is struck between them !! And it is very clear, they both care a damn about LOVE..All that matters is MONEY.. They hatch a plan. A trap is laid for Ranveer!! But still nothing is what it looks..Every character is having his own sinister plans..Loyalities keep changing..No one can trust the other!!Everything for Money!! A murder is committed and an Indian cop RD(Anil Kapoor), along with his assistant Mini(Sameera Reddy), is called upon for investigation. RD is a wierd guy , a la Karamchand. He has his own ways and ofcourse his own moralities. A lot more twists in the tale, some more secrets unveiled - leading to the final RACE!! First things first , Race scores bigtime in following departments - Starcast, Music, action sequences, a feverish pace throughout.... The story is nothing great, but it does have its moments..Race is outstanding in Style department, but somewhere you feel it lacks enough substance. The execution could have been a lot better.. Abbas - Mastan and their writer Shiraz Ahmed should have worked more on the execution. The sequences could have been interwoven much better. Too many twists, too many surprises may cause the viewer confused..In short, the story could have been told in a better way, still not giving away the thrills!! If not for the spirited starcast, Race could have been a below average product.. Starting with Akshaye - He easily slips into the chameleon act and gives a winning performance. He gets some of the best lines in the 1st half of the film and he clearly doesnt miss the opportunity..Anil is like old wine. His performances and versatility are getting better day by day. He still can give the younger lot a run for their money..He is laced with the corniest lines in 2nd half and brings a smile whenever he comes on screen! The ladies - Bipasha looks sexy, performs and delivers her dialogues with sincerity..Katrina is adequate, however she gets good scope in 2nd half and doesnt disappoint. Sameera, as the dumb assistant to Anil, compliments him well. Johny Lever in the one scene he has, manages to do well!! But its Saif?s character,which has your focus all the time. He doesnt have the best lines. Its his sheer confidence and the way he has carried the role, that makes him stand out!! His look , his expressions and his dialogue delivery are superb!! Surely, he would be the most benefitted from this film!! Kudos Saif, definitely you have come a long long way since your Aashiq Aawara days :) Director Duo Abbas Mastan have done better than their previous two ventures(Naqaab and 36 China town). But surely, Race is not one of their best works!! We expected more from you guys!! Music by Pritam is very good. The tunes are racy and melodious.. But, again, the placement of songs is poor(except for the Pehli nazar mein track). Technically too the film is great- Cinematography by Ravi Yadav is superb(captures beautiful locales of South Africa very well)! Action by Allan Amin is good and is one of the plusses!!Special mention about the class styling by Anahita Shroff Adjania. Kuch hazam nahi hua:- One of the protagonist falls from the terrace of a high-storeyed building. The other two, who are present there, dont even bother to come down and check what happend to him..Strange!! A line which kept me in splits for a while:- Anil has a sugarcane and asks Akshay - "Aap Khayenge?"..Akshay looks quizically.. Anil retorts - "Ganna hai.. Chusenge kya kehna?? theek nahi lagta..Isliye poocha khaayenge kya"... All in all - Race is very high on style quotient!!! Watch it for Saif, the other performances and a few well-executed scenes!! Dont expect too much and you will not be disappointed!! My rating - **1/2(just above average)

Thriller turned comedy

Author: Soumit:embrac ing silence amidst the cacophony Compliment the user
Overall Rating
No... seriously... what in the name of the good lord were the so called director duo of Abbas-Mustan actually thinking.. Had they seriously planned on an all out action thriller, or was taking the movie from a breath taking, fast paced introduction to an absolute nonsensical, sloppy and dilapidated central plot and then wrapping in all up with a superbly choreographed but simply unnecessary race sequence a twist in itself.... anyways, me and my friends went to the multiplex hoping to be treated to a typical bollywood masala action thriller, and we cant blame Abbas-Mustan for giving us exactly what we expected. in the end it was the simple case of a thriller inevitebly transforming itself into a comedy... me and my buddies had an absolute laugh riot. and to top it all up, we had the three actresses to drool over. saif's performance stood out from the rest. the least said about akshay the better i guess. all in all, if you've had a bad day at the office and are really pissed off at your boss, take some time out and watch this movie. i promise you, by the time you are out of the multiplex, you'll be heading straight to your boss' house with a sledg hammer in your in your hands....

Author: Shrey â?¢ Compliment the user
Overall Rating
I'm not going to mince any words. The only reason I gave this movie one star was because it's not possible to rate it lower (half a star). Saif's performance salvages half a star for the movie but the so called 'twists' in this movie seem to be straight out of the imagination of a 12 year old. The script seems to be written on the backpage of a notebook by a college student in environmental studies class. An amateurish script, horrible dialogues and even worse performances (though anil kapoor and sameera reddy did justice to their very badly written characters) make this an unbearable watch and the copied music just about saves it in the box office; but the same cannot be said for the unfortunate viewer.

Author: Ã?ð¯ã?ã?ã?- no good hindi movies this summer :( Compliment the user
Overall Rating
This movie between two step Brothers is quite refreshing with its amazing twist. Certainly a one-time watch. Dint really expect the movie to pull it off so well. Sameera reddy was a pain in the name of comedy and Anil kapoor just gave her all the fodder she needed to play that dumb. But apart from that, enjoyed it. While each part unfolds after a majorly screwing the audience with its twists, one can sit back and actually agree, "Oh yes, Well scripted." Its enough to want you stay to your seats to know, "How the hell did that take place?" Atif's Song of course may be a crowd puller but the movie itself garners an interesting image for the audience to spread the word to watch the film.
