Movie Review- “Race” (Average Time Pass)

Finally, much talked about film of recent months “Race” is here to entertain people. This film has already attracted lot of attention of people due to its big star cast and hot scenes for which censor board has given it “A” certificate. To some extent, yes, this is film has many hot scenes which can attract some people attention towards this film. Director has made special attention to high light few censored parts of Bipasa and Katrina; and both also have tried to wear as less cloths as they can.

Second attraction of the film is its suspense for which Abbas-Mustan is known, this time also Abbas-Mustan has done number of experiments with the suspense and people get number of unexpected shocks during the movie, however, complete package does not make it an extraordinary suspense thriller. Moreover, this time Abbas Mustan has even tried to wind suspense under the suspense, still mostly, film remains predictable. This film also has some action and people can enjoy the race taking place between brothers at the end.

Acting wise, Saif Ali Khan is at its best and he has given excellent performance. Rest other heroes of film Akshaye Khanna and Anil kapoor are average and there is nothing new in their acting. About the acting talent of heroines of film then Bipasa is fine in acting, however, heroines are mostly used for showing body then showing an acting talent. About the story of film then story is also not new, same story which we have watched many times on number of films and TV serials.

Two step brothers, father likes one brother, giving property to one, one brother is good one is bad, both make plans to kill each other, finally good brother win this battle by using wrong means. Music of the film is also its weak point except two songs all the other songs look forced on the movie. Overall, Race is not a big draw from 2008’s biggest hits as predicted earlier, though it can attract good audience due to hot scenes, exotic locations, expensive cars and big star cast.

Point- 2/5
