RACE 2

PLOT:

Race 2 had great expectations keeping in mind the mind boggling twists in RACE(2008).Also the climax of the film kept on hopes about Akshaye Khanna returning to the sequel.But race 2 is completely different from it.Style is the main theme of the film with some 'LOL' action,this should have been vice versa(with only action in mind).The film's heart lies in Saif wanting to make quick money and John looking for some revenge.Enter supercop(you may call him so) Anil Kapoor,ul be giggling at his vulgar one liners and the seducive Ameesha.Soon you will be left experiencing some superb stunts with a LOL moment sometimes.

TEAM AND PERFORMANCE:

The casting is bitter sweet,particularly because of the characters.Saif and John are at their best in the film with Anil Kapoor in his superb performance.But the females have nowhere to go.Read this statement as you like it.But their roles lack the intensity and depth Katrina and Bipasha had in the former and being a quasi-sequel it should take the franchisee to a new height.Abbas-Mustan are typical in here.They have given us great entertainers and this MAY go on so.The only dud is the script.Too much style has eaten the plot,which would have been better than what it is.Certainly a hollywood style film minus the attitude we show to such films.

MUSIC AND PROMOTIONS:

The music will surely fade away as new albums release.The music is not what you would have expected from such a team,keeping in mind their past record.Promotions score full marks.The stylish promos shown on televisions and radio stations are upto the mark.Race(2008) also played a part in the promotions owing to its content,which lacks here.

COLLECTIONS:

A bumper start to the film.13.75 crore collection on day one surely hints us about the film collecting nearly 50 crores in the first week.But some bad word of mouth and initial reports may turn this off.

USP:

John,Saif and Anil Kapoor...Superb performance by all. Ameesha is the only female lead who has some scope to remember.The stunts are awesome.

FLAWS:

STYLE.It has ruined the plot somewhat.Too much style is like eating a dish with too much salt.We need it but too much of it... :-)

FINAL VERDICT:

Go on for it.Definitely a one time watch.

RATING:
3/5
