Race 2 - Movie Review

Allah ki Dua is seriously needed for this movie to work at the box office! A sequel to the glamorous,  fast paced n totally on-the-edge entertainer, Race, this film is a perfect example of how we movie-goers are taken for granted. And if it gets into the 100-crore club, then it would be a perfect example of how dumb the taste of our movie goers is.

Retaining Saif Ali Khan (Ranveer Singh) and Anil Kapoor (RD) from the first installment, director duo Abbas-Mastan brought in glamour, cleavage n lot of brawny torsos with the addition of Deepika Padukone (Elene -_-), Jacqueline Fernandes (as Omisha yuck , Fugly!!), Amisha Patel (out of work aunty, filing in Sameera Reddy's Shoes as Cherry) and John Abraham ( Armaan Malik, P.S- dil mil gaye was better :P)

With such a huge star cast, probably the director thought the only way of getting them all work together is by giving them the chance to double cross each other! :D Like the first installment, this film packs in atleast 1 twist every minute and makes you feel like banging your head by seeing how foolish these so-called scamsters are. There are so many faults and loopholes in the film that if i start pointing all of them, i would need longer paper than all the clothes worn by Deepika in the film, put together!



Apart from some action sequences, a few -_- moments when the girls light up the screen, there is nothing good to talk about! The songs are worse than what a bikhari sings at traffic signals.

Coming to the performances, Saif ALi Khan whispers and gives that stupid look all through the film. Yawn! Anil Kapoor and Amisha Patel look perfect- old and out of work. They fit perfectly in their roles and blend well into the background! :D John Abraham looks dashing and yet again, his 6-pack abs gives more expressions than his goddamn face! Playing his onscreen sister (bechara john :P), Deepika looks gorgeous, ultra stylish and thats all she does in the movie. No acting-vacting! Jacqueline looks scary, especially in allah duhai song, and her acting- the less said the better!

Cars being blown up, amazing locations, beautiful girls and some action sequences et al, can never make up for the lack of story, logic and money wasted on this film. it was meant to give an edge-of-the-seat experience, and it does give that. Only that it makes you wanna get from the edge and leave!! Watch it only if you like masala flicks, that too on tv or net. Theatre ki velli money waste! :D
MY RATING- 1.5/5
