Story:
The story of Race 2 starts with Ranveer
Singh's (Saif Ali Khan) girlfriend Sonia's (Bipasha Basu) murder and the
former's quest for revenge from the killer. A depressed and sombre Ranveer
heads to Turkey and meets Armaan Malik (John Abraham), who has actually
murdered Sonia. Multi-millionaire Armaan is a man who loves nothing more than
money and Ranveer's motto is to destroy his girlfriend's killer, by snatching
away all his riches. This is where Ranveer meets the super sexy Elena (Deepika
Padukone), Armaan's sister, who has no better job except getting onto the bed
with the former. Then, we are introduced to one more hottie Jacqueline
Fernandes, Armaan's loyal girlfriend or you may call her just a 'sidekick' in the
movie. You need not disturb your brain at all in the first half as it serves no
content, expect some eye-catching chiselled hot bods, designer wardrobes,
swanky cars and a journey to exotic foreign locales.
Hits
The sequel outshines Race in terms of majestic
and larger than life look. Well, I just can't afford to give a miss to the
electrifying 'cage-fight' of John Abraham, that certainly remains the best part
in the movie. Saif Ali Khan does a commendable job in Race 2. He's shrewd,
sharp and delivers a solid performance.
Spoilers
The list of spoilers
in Race 2 are too many to mention. Say it the lazy plot, bad music, illogical
content, fruit and nut Anil Kapoor, dumb Ameesha Patel, expressionless Deepika
and Jacqueline, nothing is impressive about this wannabe thriller. The worst
part of Race 2 are those most annoying and irritating sequences between Robert
D'Costa (Anil Kapoor) and his dim-witted assistant Cherry (Ameesha Patel).
Ahhh, adding icing to the cake, what might make you leave the theatre, are
those cheap and poorly written dialogues of the wannabe hot Cherry. On the
other hand, John Abraham's dry and pale act for the powerful role of that of a
millionaire gangster is slap on the faces of those, who had monstrous
expectation from the sequel. Certain scenes in the movie are definitely
well-thought out and executed, but the excessively stuffed glitz and glamour
quotient act as serious spoilers.
Verdict
Race 2 is all about show-offs, wannabes and a
few gorgeous sidekicks. Hence, it's definitely worth giving a miss. I would
give this a half point extra for the breathtaking 'cage act' by John, hence
two-and-half on the whole for this lame sequel.
