Abbas Mastan is not the duo we look forward to, especially after the disastrous “Players”. But Considering the success of “Race”, you can fall for the trap called “Race 2”. The film begins with great action scenes, and just when you will anticipate what this movie is all about, you will be punched in the face with a twist, and then more twists, some of the twists were actually great. That is why I am not totally thrashing this film in my review. This film has surely managed to be called a thriller. But the disaster is the result of too much unwanted style and typical use of Bollywood punches.
You may attract to the huge star
cast, but beware; I am going to reveal their performances now, Saif is the best
though, John is trying hard to be a bad guy, he fails miserably according to me,
the ladies, too cute, and acting too dumb, no one can digest them as killers.
Anil Kapoor was most irritating of the lot; all his witty jokes were not witty
at all, and Amisha Patel, God knows, what is she doing in this film?
Although, there is nothing much
wrong with the direction and screenplay, but the plot of the film is
directionless, I must remark. Good music is forcefully wasted into a bad film.
Had they made a good story, we hardly needed any song.
Race-2 is not a movie you should
waste money going to expensive multiplexes, if you are so desperate to watch it,
go to a single screen. It is not better than both “Matru ki bijlee ka Mandola”
and “Table No. 21” among other 2013 releases.
If you watch movie with noticing
details of it rather carefully, you will not like “Race-2” at all. But may be
some scenes are likeable, I am not sure with that either. Race-2 is the film,
which everyone will talk different of, I wonder how many of them will praise it.
You can go for it, if you are looking for a good day out with
friends.
My Ratings: 2/5
