Race (2008) Bollywood Movie Review!

Race (2008) Bollywood Movie Review!
Directed by: Abbas Mastan
Casts: Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Sameera Reddy….

I know it is little late to review Race as it has been out for some time now and probably most of you have already watched the film! however there might be some just like me! I watched it last night only. Well I thought I write a small review for fun.

Pros:

  • Another suspense drama
  • Saif looked very matured
  • Katrina Kaif is simply too cute.
  • Bipasha is hot al always.
  • Akshay Khanna is as usual!
Cons:
  • Too complicated story.
  • Too much turns in the movie.
  • Anil Kapoor could have made the role more serius. He tried to to do “Karamchand” style comedy. Took time and did not impress anybody,

To start with, Race is a kind of murder mystery. Saif was supposed to be dead in this film. However like most of the Bollywood films, he survived. “Abbas Mastan” Duo produced too many suspense thrillers! Remember “Khiladi”, “Baazigar”, “36 China Town”? Well they are some of the very very successful suspense thrillers in Bollywood directed by “Abbas-Mastan”. So, Race evoked high expectations. It’s not too bad to watch just once!

Storyline:

Race storyline is too complicated to write in words, or I have to narrate the whole movie for you. Saif Ali Khan and Akshy Khanna are “Souteli” brothers. From chieldhood time Saif managed to win all races beween him and his brother starting from a bi-cycle race. When their dad died he gave everything to Saif. However Saif loves his brother a lot and always fulfilled all of his wishes. But Akshay Khanna wanted to win the race of Life. He wanted to kill his brother to get 100 million from insurence. So, the plot begins with a track accident, however Saif survived the accident. Saif came to know about the henious plans of his brother and started his own game.  Bipasha Basu as ravelling as usual but I still do not understand the concenpt of marrying Akshay Khanna and having “Suhag raat” with with Saif Ali Khan and then at the end Saif and Bipasha are lovers again! Jhonny Liver played a small role after a long time in this movie and looked good. He is ready to come back again. Katrina danced well and looked too cute however I still do not understand her role in this movie very much.

The part I hate is Anil Kapoor’s role in this movie. He could have got a more serious police office role. Comedy is the trend of Bollywood today and the director wanted to present us with some comedy  by Anil Kapoor’s role. It was disgusting and sometimes irretating and irrelevent. There are too many turns in the move that will keep puzzling you all the time and you will ponder over who is the real villain and who is hero in the film! Music is OKIE in this movie.

Katrina Kaif: Actress of the day February 5th 2008

Katrina Kaif (Hindi: कटरीना कैफ; born July 16, 1984) is an Indian film actress who has appeared in Bollywood, Telugu and Malayalam films.

Kaif started off her career as a model and later made her Bollywood debut with Boom (2003). She had her first commercial success with the comedy Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005) and received praise for her performance in Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s commercially and critically successful Namastey London (2007). Later that year, she starred in the blockbusters Partner.

Personal life

One of 8 siblings, Katrina was born on July 16, 1984, in Hong Kong to a British mother and a father of Indian Kashmiri origin. She grew up in Hawaii and then moved to London.

Career

At the age of 14, Kaif started modeling for a jewelry campaign in London, and was subsequently discovered by filmmaker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his film Boom (2003). She moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were at first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings, such as her inability to speak Hindi Films that did feature her usually had her voice dubbed over by a native speaker of the film’s language. This changed with the film, Namastey London (2007) opposite Akshay Kumar & later Apne (2007), in which she dubbed her own lines.
