Race 2 – Sleek and Stylish No Brainer…!



Star Cast: Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Amisha Patel
Director: Abbas-Masthan
Producer: Ramesh Taurani, Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapoor.
Duration: 146 Minutes
Armaan Mallik (John Abraham) an ex-street fighter and now the leading underworld business tycoon is based in Istandbul with his half-sister Elena (Deepika Padukone). Cool casinos, sleek cars, lavish yachts, sexy women and of course crime defines the life of Armaan Mallik.
Our very old Ranveer Singh (Saif Ali khan) is back, this time with a vengeance on Armaan for killing his wife Sonia (Bipasha Basu). Ranveer designs a full proof plan to out beat Armaan and ropes in his old friend R.D a.k.a Robert D'Costa and his nutty assistant Cherry (Amisha Patel) for the help.
Ranveer’s plan takes many twists and turns as the people whom he has trusted  Omisha/Tanya Martin (Jacqueline Fernandez) betrayed him for money. The plot becomes interesting when Elena falls in love for Ranveer.
Can Ranveer out beat Armaan is the crux of the story.
Coming to the story line Race -2 is completely a no brainer do not try to find any logic out it, just take the movie at its face value you will enjoy it. Abbas-Masthan put in their best efforts to spin the plot with twists & turns which makes this movie watchable. Adding to it, some super cool locations, sleek & stylish performances well crafted songs just makes the movie better.
Coming to individual performances, to be honest except for Saif Ali Khan none of the actors had any scope to perform, as the directors wanted more of brawns than performances.  Beefed up John Abraham and super sexy Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Amisha Patel are a treat to watch. Anil Kapoor brings in the fun element to the movie with his good comic timing and of course some double meaning dialogues.
Coming to the draw backs of the movie the first and foremost is its length, had the movie been shorter it would have been much better. Editing was poorly done, in many shots one can see Saif’s body double and even Kareena’s tattoo on Saif’s hand (LOL).
All in all Race 2 is a non brainy entertainer, leave your brain for rest you would enjoy it.
Rating: 3/5
