A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Race directed by Abbas-Mustan is an entertaining weekend watch.It has a good story to offer and lots of exciting twist and turns which makes it entertaining.Story:- Based in Durban, Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) lives a very wealthy lifestyle along with his slacker and alcoholic brother, Rajiv (Akshaye Khanna), and runs a stud farm. He is in love with Sonia and both hope to get married. When Ranvir introduces Sonia (Bipasha Basu) to Rajiv, he falls in love with her, and Ranvir decides to let them get married on the condition that he gives up alcohol. When Rajiv promises, the marriage takes place. Their stud farm undergoes a major financial crisis when their rival, Kabir Ahuja (Dalip Tahil), scores at the races, and Ranvir mortgages most of his assets just to survive. Unfortunately, Rajiv continues to drink, Sonia regrets her decision to get married to him, and starts getting intimate with Ranvir. When Rajiv finds out, he decides to kill himself, but instead Ranvir ends up getting killed.A sharp tongued detective R.D.Costa (Anil Kapoor), getting wise on the proceedings, starts an intriguing investigation with his brainless bimbo assistant Mini (Sameera Reddy). Rajiv and Sonia hope to inherit the estate, but they end up getting quite a shock when Ranvir's Personal Secretary, Sophia (Katrina Kaif), claims that she is Ranvir's wife, and decides to keep the estate to herself.Race,in short,is a entertaining stylish fast-paced thriller.The direction is fine.The dialogs are okay.The music is average.The cinematography by Ravi Yadav is excellent.The locales of Durban are a visual treat! The action scenes by Allan Amin is superb.Performances:- Saif Ali Khan is fine.Akshaye Khanna is very good.Anil Kapoor steals the show with his superb performance.Bipasha Basu is average.Katrina Kaif is okay.Sameera Reddy is bad.Johny Lever is funny.Dalip Tahil is subtle.Overall,Race is an entertaining movie.

'Race' belongs to the list of crappiest films of 2008. I've been told to avoid it for a long time and I really would have but I did not have much of a choice. With all those ridiculous stunts (some shown in pathetic slow motion), MTV music video style Hinglish song sequences, actors wearing little clothes, 'surprising' twists that make no sense etc, 'Race' tries to be cool but it has NO substance whatsoever. Abbas-Mustan can add this hack to their heap of trashy films. 'Race' also does a very miserable job of ripping off Roland Joffé's 'Goodbye Lover' (which already was a silly film). However, any 'new' input the director duo put in their version only make 'Race' more stupid. Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna are at their worst. While Khan hardly does anything other than wear a forced expression of looking serious, Khanna overacts. Bipasha Basu continues to prove that directors need to really really work hard (in this case they didn't) to make her act while Katrina Kaif is a lost case. I never understood the hype surrounding Kaif (though she does touch herself in 'Race'). For me her acting talents are non-existent and her looks are too plain. Sameera Reddy's bimbo act falls flat (but this may mostly be due to the poor dialogue she's given) and Anil Kapoor should have retired ages ago. There is no chemistry between any of the actors. They obviously did it just for the money. The songs contribute to the list of abysmal soundtracks of 2008. 'Race' is just another disgrace to Indian cinema.

I quite enjoyed the film. It had some fun moments some slick treatment and some great locales. Look it wasn't the kind of film where one was expecting anything ground breaking. It was an abbas Mustan kind of film and we know they are no Almodovar. So they delivered what they promised and that is all..Finally it did not make sense? why the enmity between the two brothers to such an extent.. Akshay had a reason even if by a long shot but was saifs reason? None.The cinematography was good, Saif looked good he has turned into quite a performer. Akshay was okay.. the script was tacky but the twists were good.. scenes were shoddily written/Time pass flick..nothing more nothing less..

I was anticipating the release of the move impatiently... I've longed to see Saifo's movies and with this superstar cast i figured the film had to be a hug hit undoubtedly. But little did I know, the movie was absolute crap.. Yes the twists were intriguing but nothing more. The tracks, dancing, stunts were all boring that I yawned all the way through the film!! At some point of the movie, the scenes became expectable and less watchable. Saif and Bipasha don't have sort of chemistry going on for them so that was a "switch off" for me too.Hopefully, Saif would be wiser in choosing his roles in the future; I'm such a die-hard fan of his but this movie I believe should be erased from his glamorous record.
