Review Of "Race 2"

As usual one more thriller from the stable of director brother Abbas-Mustan. This time too they have managed to keep pace in the Race. The USP of the movie is its unpredictability. Every scene carries with it sense of something unusual is going to happen and that is the trademark of the directors which they have maintained since Baazigar and Khiladi. The flashy vehicles, exotic location, stylish dressings all tell you that a good deal of budget has been injected in the movie. Basically this is a revenge story. Ranbir (Sif Ali Khan) has to settle past scores with Rehman Malik (John Abraham) and the whole story revolve around this two characters trying to outsmart each other. Let's start with the lead actor of the movie Sai Ali Khan, he has done justice to his role like earlier but in Race 2 we see Ranbir with a change of personality. In R1 we had seen him as intense elder brother with serious dialogues whereas here we find him a little more casual who sometimes tries to do comedy.Chase scene of him is one of the attraction point of the movie. In terms of looks he again emerges as a killer like the earlier one. John too has not disappointed with his performance.For the lover of hulk John a cage fight scene can be a eye candy. Anil Kapoor has been able to make the audience laugh through his witty sentences. He never looks like 50+ man behind the french beard. All the three ladies of the movie seem more like showpiece. Depeeka Padukon who looks hot throughput the movie but in the acting front there is nothing to watch put from all 3 of them. Especialy Amisha Patel is disaster in every scene.Unwanted and unnecessary song make the thing worst for the audience. There is not a single number which you can hum for longer time.At the end story is left open for the next sequal and hope Abbas-Mustan will get us a competitive RACE that time. If we compare Race 2 from the earlier version it lags way behind in the race. Overall a good entertaining and popcorn movie. If you like stylish movie and don't care much about the script you can spare your 2 hours and 26 minutes.
