Movie Review: Race

Trust this director-duo were great in the 90s. Although I am not a big fan of 'Baazigar' I can't help but accept that it was enjoyable. 'Khiladi' was one cool movie! What's wrong with these guys now?

FAULTS:

1. 'Dhoom' and 'Dhoom 2' lookalike. This similarity can't be missed. It looks so much like 'Dhoom 2'. It is made in the same style. Bipasha Basu almost does a bikini routine again, actors dress like in 'Dhoom 2' and action is forced into the film. Nothing fits!

2. It's a cool story. I have no hassles in accepting that. In fact, the first half of the movie sets up the plot nicely. But there are way too many twists and turns in the second half. Most of them are expected. The second half just falls apart with everything either predictable or plain stupid.

3. It's that time in Bollywood where you have to be true to your film and to your audience. Why make a thriller and then force songs into them? One song at the start would have been passable but all the others don't merit a place. Worse news, the songs are not good either.

I can go on with this. But I will stop here.

RATING: 2/5
