Movie Review Race 2 - Will it reach the finish line

Brimming with sensual glamour, chic style, heart-throbbing music, high-flying action, breath-taking locales,

superb drama and starring the bold and the beautiful of Mumbai’s tinsel town - Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2 seemed to

 

have got all the ingredients right for an out and out Bollywood blockbuster. But despite all the right

ingredients, a superb plot and an equally amazing build-up, the film fails to live upto the expectations of the

first half in the later stages of the movie. So, what is it that prevented this chic film from reaching the

finish line? Let’s try and find out the answer to it the astro way.

In Race 2, Saif Ali Khan embodies Ranveer Singh, plotting the revenge of his girlfriend, Sonia’s murder. In

doing so, he gets involved in gambling, illegitimate deals and crime. He is also seen romancing the amazingly

hot Deepika Padukone and the sultry seductress Jacqueline Fernandez. Saif evidently carries the weight of the

film all by himself and outshines everyone with his spirited performance. Being a Leo, his horoscope indicates

towards an aggressive start and accomplishments on the career front this year. The lion, after lying low in the

dark for some time, is now ready to get unleashed like never before, and Saif has proved the same in style by

playing the kingpin in the film, reciting the most impactful dialogues in the film, and flaunting his newly

acquired six-packs.

Deepika Padukone is seen playing the character of Elena, John Abraham’s step- sister in the movie. After her

spectacular performance in Cocktail, her character in the movie was sheer disappointment. Her character, though

sexy and glamorous, lacks depth and substance. Her Capricorn horoscope predicted it accurately. The first

quarter of the year may not be rewarding for her. The year 2013 is expected to throw new challenges at her.

Though she couldn’t run the race well, the only word of advice we have for her for the rest of the year is to

relax and go with the flow.

Playing the enigmatic character of Armaan Malik, John Abraham failed to give a memorable performance. Being a

Sagittarius, John diligently tries to give his best to the character but this time falls short in his attempt.

2013 brings in both positive and negative light on his professional career. While on one hand, he will continue

to taste fame and success, on the other his hard work may not pay the desired results; a fact that Race 2

clearly reiterates.

Former Miss Sri Lanka Universe, Jacqueline Fernandez plays the role of Omisha, Armaan’s girlfriend. Although,

she left the audience dazzled and asking for more with the dance number ‘lat lag gayi’, her acting skills

missed the mark. Her Gemini horoscope indicates towards dissatisfaction with work. Her career is expected to

take a boost in the second quarter of 2013. Lots of opportunities may come her way with producers lining up to

sign her for their films. A piece of advice for the sultry lass - trust your instincts when it comes to your

career. Anil Kapoor as Robert D’Costa and Ameesha Patel as Cherry also featured in the film in not so pivotal roles and

did an average job. The music by Pritam is also not something to write home about and one would remember the

songs as long as the film runs on the theatres. The action sequences in the film are shot quite brilliantly in

some of the most stunning locations across the globe and the film features some swanky cars from Audi. Overall, Race 2 is a good film that builds quite brilliantly in the first half but fails to live up to the high

expectations in the second half and falls flat in the final stages of the film. It does, however, manage to

pump a few heartbeats with some thumping dance numbers and breath-taking action sequences involving some of the

most expensive cars and bikes in the world but failed to mesmerise the audience and leave them in awe at the

end. Although Saif Ali Khan stands tall with his sterling performance, the film fails miserably towards the end

to live up to the notion of the adrenaline thumping thriller it promised to be, maybe due to the overdose of

action and a flawed script. Well the stars said it all, didn’t they?
