First things first ... its a popcorn time pass movie which you see and forget once u leave your seats and yes there are usual elements of Abbas-Mustan .People who have seen Baazigar,Aitraaz and other stuff of A-M they are sure to guess the next actions thats gonna take place.It is sure to make huge business at most of the centers for the very fact that there are no other movies lined up for few days and Jodhaa Akbar getting slower day by day.
Race is fast slick and well garnished movie with all the right elements to portray. Its a movie about two brothers and huge sum of property .Saif and Akshay Khanna play the main protagonists . Nothing really special in their acting skills . Both look jaded in most of the scenes and off course people have seen this kind of stuff many a number of times.Anil Kapoor enters just enters during pre interval to investigate into a murder(watch out the movie to know who has got killed). Anil Kapoor though you cant digest him in these comic craper roles (even in welcome) but he is doing fair role.
Coming to actresses ... point blank . They really have nothing to do except to shake their booty ,show their cleavages and wear as much less clothes to attract the guys and they have done their best. Bipasha playing the roles of -ve and +ve ,playing love interest of Saif and Akshay , Katrina(every man wishes to have a secretary like her),plays the role of secretary.. will never know how to act but she will always be directors lucky charm because she has those looks
by which even a Bad old man seeing her will crave to get into his 20s ,so guys will get into theatres to witness her body atleast if not her acting skills ,Sameera Reddy is playing a dump secretary of Anil and off course as usual she is dumb in acting also.
The only thing that kept me going in the movie was the music ,, again Pritam does his job to excellence no doubt he has copied the tunes ...but copying also is an art. Action director Alan Amin is superb in executing the action scenes but sadly theres no actor in movie who can match his thoughts .
Few may enjoy the climax scene in which there is racing of cars but again its a kiddish act atleast at the Bollywood level.
Saif looks to ridiculous doing the action packed stunts and he needs to stop doing these nonsense stuff atleast after looking back at Salam Namesthay,wonderfully acted Omkara(Langda tyagi),Dil Cahata Hai ... come on Saif you deserve much better roles than action stunts. Lets leave this department to real action star Akshay Kumar.
Overall many twists ,few good ones and few bad ones . Good music sums up for Race. Since no movie out there you can give a try with bunch of friends.
My rating : **1/2
