Race

Race is damn twisti movie....it's juz superb....it's 1 of d best movie of Abbas-mustan.Saif looks soooooo hot.D songs, cars,costumes, r juz dashin.....

The movie is housefull from the morning shos in multiplexes. No tickets are available at the booking counter. This shows the hype surrounded around “Race”. The are festivities around with long extended weekend. The hype is working its magic and opening is fabulous. Why there shall not be hype? It has gorgeous babes, hot male actors, foot tapping music, slick promos and the name promises an edge of the seat thriller. Apart from that its from thriller expert Abbas-Mustan. What if their last 2 movies failed due to week scripts….. the duo still commend a lot of cradibility for their entertaining thrillers like Gupt, Ajnabi, Soldier, etc. But can they spell their magic on the silverscreen this time? Does the film work?

And the good news is…..

YES! It works BIG TIME!

Looks like there is a six-cornered tussle or “Race” between all the actors of this film. For everyone one seems to be busy garnering a meaty screen presence by cutting moral corners or nudging each other off the sleeves. The beauties turn up in the slinkiest bib n tucker, each vying for your attention. And if that is not enough, you have Saif’s stubble to catch your eyeballs and Anil’s lovable quirks. The only problem is that the course of this “Race” gives you sudden jerks and sharp turns, and leaves you overtly out-of-breath. For in an attempt to bring on the “twist n turns”, the director swerves the film off the track completely.

If you still want to hear an account of this film, here it is ....in my shytle…

The two brothers - Ranvir (Saif) and Rajeev (Akshay) are in the horse-racing biz (see, that’s the first thread of the RACE connection). The second is the fact that Rajeev is perpetually racing with his brother….trying to unsuccessfully outdo him till he decides to bump him off forever. One such attempt pitchforks Saif into the hospital, and he is pronounced not dead yet. Lo and behold, he bungee jumps out of the hospital to shake a leg or two with his girl friend, Shaina (Bipasha Basu). And there is not even a single bruise mark on his body after an earth-shattering accident. That’s Unbreakable Part 2!

Anyways, Ranvir learns that Rajeev is in love with our sexy siren, and decides to sacrifice his love for bro’s sake. And Rajeev promises to have Complan instead of hard drink as his breakfast menu everyday, after his marriage to Shaina. So the marriage happens and then another story unfolds. Shaina and Ranvir plot to kill the Unbreakable, the second time. But not before he gets to sleep with Bips and groove to a Touch-Me-Touch Me Not number (with Katrina Kaif in tow).

And as part of another convoluted twist, we learn that Shaina is actually on Ranvir’s side. Or not? Because she pushes the latter off a building after bidding a short farewell. And just when the partners in crime are about to pounce on the dead man’s insurance money, Sophiya (Katrina) surfaces claiming to be Ranvir’s wife.

Around the same time, Robert Decosta (Anil Kapoor) and his assistant (Sameera Reddy) enter the fray to investigate into the murder. Because Anil gets all his crime fundas right by munching fruits, his secretary strives to supply a generous amount of all kinda seasonal exotics (bananas, berries, melons, grapes). He names it and she gets it! OK..now coming back to the story….already gone awry…Sophiya recounts how she got married to Ranvir amid all the hip-swinging and shaking in a queer little Cape Town.

However, it turns that Sophiya has been acting on Rajeev’s orders! And that Anil is in cahoots with Rajeev…leaving our poor Bips all alone! But hey wait, Ranvir nows emerges from the ashes and becomes the Dead Man Walking. He jumps, rolls, and pirouettes to save his damsel-in-distress (But wait ..wait…was she not the one who ditched him earlier on?)

Whatever, Ranvir now returns back to bro’s den and challenges him to a race (NO…NOT AGAIN). At this point, some of the deadly secrets are revealed….And bet…you won’t find them half as engrossing as the full-on race that we all started off with.

After the film credits start to roll, a semblance of normalcy comes back to you…you thanks stars for being able to order your brain to go on a roller-coaster ride with no bumps guarantee!!!

PS: And RACE wins the race for being the most disappointing thriller of the year.

Director Duo Abbas Mastan is back on their track with well made thriller Race.

First 25 minutes are not so impressive and the first song pictureise on Saif, Bipasha, Akshay & Katrina is damb squib it was better if it was edited on the table.

But after 25 minutes movie pace shoot up and with excellent twist and thrill.

Pritam music is not so good as only 3 songs are good in the movie.

Some songs squences were similiar to welcome as they have copied it.

Shot in South Africa & Dubai, well 55 percent of the scene are shot in Dubai, No matter director showed them that's it is South Africa.

Akshay & Bipasha have done their negative character as per their standard.

Just before the interval their is huge twist when saif ali khan dies.

and wait yaar picture abhi baaki hain mere dost.

Their is new life on the screen Anil Kapoor comes in for the investigation with his PA Sameera.

And then the investigation starts.

Anil Kapoor as RD Means Inspector Robert D'costa is terrific and he is never empty handed eating different fruit thru out the film is very well acted.

In terms of Anil Kapoor presence he steal the show. Yes he is the best part in the film. And Anil Starts investigation and finding out  that there is 100 million dollars insurance is behind the murder.

and then again their is a new twist that Saif Pa  Katrina as sophia tells Anil thats she is the wife of Saif, its shocks Bipasha & Akshay that when they married.

But again their is a new twist that Saif Ali Pa predicting Wife is Involved with AKSHAY yes

This comes to shock that Katrina is behind all these things with Partner AKSHAY.

and Anil Ask Katrina to show him the marriage certificate to find out the authentication of the certificate and he find thats there is something fishy in the signature as normal people who are going for marriage at the registrar will use the same pen. But in this case then both signature are signed with different pens.

And Anil then goes to Durban to find the thruth that Saif and Katrina married or not.

Here is entry comedy king Jhony Lever as the head of  marriage registrar is brilliant doing only 4 minute scene is teriific, and then jhony reveals that Saif never came to marriage office and then who was with Katrina it was non other than Akshay.

After this their is one more twist, which is better not to reveal as Race is worth a Watch.

75% of the movie i have revealed it but rest watch it by ur self.

It is a good movie.

Saif Ali Is in Terrific form.

Rest all are good.

Anil is the show stealer.

Katrina as usual can't act as she is always having her voiced dub by the proffesional.

Over All Paisa Vasool Movie.
