Race: Racing ahead

March 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

When you think of Bollywood suspense, only two names grip your mind - Abbas and Mustan. It’s been tough to make suspense films as good as the duo. A couple of their films never caught on, they still are the known tag for suspense thrillers.

After their 2007 attempt Naqaab, which masked the box office from any profits, the duo is still ‘all set’ with their latest thriller RACE.

The movie stars chote nawab Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna in his fourth one with the A-M and Anil Kapoor as energetic as last year. They chose the hottest tinsel town ladies to sizzle the screen alongside the rough looking men. Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu are explosive as ever, while Sameera Reddy seems content to share screen with the lasses.

A story of two rich brothers Saif and Akshaye who own a race-horse stud-farm in Durban. Elder brother Saif lives a fast paced life, while Akshaye is happy with a laid-back lifestyle in the company of alcohol. Katrina Kaif, Saif’s super efficient personal secretary is also in love with him. While Saif shares a relationship with an upcoming Indian model Bipasha who is firing the ramps in Durban. Destiny takes a turn and Katrina and Akshay end up getting married, with Akshay promising to give up booze for the lady.

Things start going wrong when the younger brother continues his drinking sprees and Saif and Katrina slip in a weak moment. A murder follows and Anil Kapoor makes entry as a investigating officer with a dimwit secretary aka Sameera. The actual RACE starts of here with a great combination of the beautiful Durban horizon for a backdrop and fast paced action.

Saif has managed to Race through in his love life, both in real and on-screen. With a super hot look, he is all set to blaze the scenes with equally captivating bollywood hotties. Lets hope the others live up to the speed. This action drama also boasts of the most romantic track of the year by Atif Aslam.

If you have been waiting for some thrill, your wait is over. All the action and suspense is here. Better reserve your seat , an early start would ensure you are still in the race!

    ‘RACE’ is not at all about wining its just too boring!!The first half is slow with akshay khanna not able to carry the humor well.Katrina is wasted.The plot is very predictable,the movie never seems like holding any suspense.The dress designer could have been paid well to design better clothes.Bipasha looks hideous throughout the movie.Katrina is used as a barbie doll.Some how Anil Kapoor rescues us from getting into boredom.Saif is good as usual.What is sameera reddy doing in the movie only the Mastans know.
