Race 2

Review :-

Get ready for jobs that ‘blow’, bare-bods, chains, fists, fruits (of passion) et al. Kinky, huh? Not really. This is what goes into a high-flying, testosterone ride called Race 2, where everything blows up – from beastly cars to bronzed beautism. Macho men dive into mid-air and cars casually fly. The men are smart, but their gizmos are smarter. The women are ‘haute’, but mean machines give them a run for their curves. Such is this race of brawn and biceps (with limited brain power).

Lambi race ka ghoda, Ranveer Singh (Saif) is on a mission again – to avenge the death of his lady-love. On the race-track he encounters Armaan Mallick (John) and his half-sister Aleena (Deepika), reeking of wealth and power in Turkey. Omisha (Jacqueline) joins the race as Armaan’s seductive love-interest. Lastly, there’s the conman, RD (Anil) and his X-factor Cherry (Ameesha), with their fruity diet and juicy one-liners. Everyone is racing for a reason, albeit with less speed, and oodles of style.

While Saif flamboyantly fuels the race with max horse power, John uses his mind-‘blowing’ body for ‘knock-out’ action scenes. Diva Deepika flaunts her natural pizzazz; Jacqueline looks good and tries to keep pace. With puns and playfulness, Anil Kapoor thoroughly entertains, flanked by his ‘fruit-bearer’, Ameesha who cutely plays the clueless Cherry.

Heists, hot-babes, roulette, raging cars, gizmos and gags – Director duo, Abbas-Mustan have thrown in everything with pompous grandeur, save for a riveting plot that shocks or stuns. It focuses on superbly digitized Hollywood-esque actions scenes, racy chases and blow-ups (plus a ‘designer’ star-cast that salivates on style) – all of which, a visual treat – but it doesn’t make your heart race, really.

Wish they’d traded in their glitzy stilettos for running shoes and slick suits for a solid story. Then this race would still be in the run, we think.

Story :-

The race for love, money and power begins. The runners cut to the chase and break all rules of the game.
