The movie began with the introduction of the lead characters of the movie…There was dashing Saif who was sporting suave pair of shades throughout the movie…I think the effort made by Saif to hide behind those oversize sunglasses paid off, it did hide his squint.
Then there was Akshay Khanna…who played the part of scheming, alcoholic evil brother with a hipflask glued constantly to his hip pocket. His lines were predictable, even the jokes he was made to say were insipid! After sitting and reading so many email forwards all day…I knew each and every joke made by Akshay Khanna!
Bipasha played the part of an eye-candy perfectly.Also she was trying her best to help the producer of the movie with her skimpy wardrobe…Atleast the cost on fabrics must have drastically reduced!
Katrina could have sported blond hair…that was the only thing lacking for completing her dumb blond image.
Sameera Reddy was as always, dumb as ever playing Anil Kapoor’s side-kick. I think a category just below the blond-bimbette must be named “Sameera Reddy” inorder to honour her pea-sized brain.
The only positive thing the movie had to offer was Anil Kapoor and Atif Aslam’s song.
The movie is set in Durban, SA. I know that SA has a lot of Indian population but that doesn’t mean that everybody who is involved with the characters is an Indian and speaks chaste Hindi! The stunts in the movie were awesome…gravity-defying. At one point of time I was convinced that the movie was a science fiction. There are million twists and turns in the plot, one at every second. It will give Fredric Forsyth a run for money on that front(I mean inducing twists and turns in the plot…no offence meant for Fredrick Forsyth).The plot is utterly ridiculous to the core. It doesn’t connect with the viewer. Somehow the movie lacked the skill to set the audience’s pulse racing.
Anyways, all said and done Race was an inspiration for me.
It inspired me to write this review without even getting paid for it.
