Saw the movie Race on March 23rd at IMax Theatre from 5 :30 - 8:30 pm.
Were placed reasonably in D6 -D9 rows. ie Me,Avinash,Krishiv,Raghu.
Had Coke, French Fries and Popcorn for our company during the 3 hours :)
The movie is courtesy HSBC Bank with which we are opening a saving account.
Now for the movie part . The race is between two step-brothers and the plot is still devised on the undying life-insurance money. One brother’s murder is other brother’s money. And each one is set to outdo the other.But in this race, the makers attempt to overtake your sensibilities. Subsequently the film resorts to the trademark tricks to induce thrills. But for someone fed (or fed up) on a staple diet of Abbas-Mustan suspense dramas, it isn’t much difficult to predict at what instance will the director-duo double cross. The perceptive viewer races ahead of the director’s shock-treatment tactics and isn’t duped. After all, the scheme of one-upmanship between two male rivals has been already exploited by the directors in many movies earlier.
There’s also a Karamchand kinda investigating officer (Anil Kapoor) who substitutes the detective’s carrot by chomping fruitlessly to glory. This Karamchand also has Kitty (Sameera Reddy) for company .En route their investigation, the officer also flirts with his simpleton secretary on Cape Town beaches as the film takes a excuse to exhibit bikinis.
The Actual Story : Ranvir (Saif Ali Khan) and Rajiv (Akshaye Khanna) are half brothers who own a huge stud farm in Durban, South Africa. They breed horses on their huge ranch house and are also the biggest bookies in the horse racing circuit.
Ranvir, the elder of the two, is known to be a very shrewd man. He is very aggressive, and is always on the move. His half brother Rajiv, on the other hand, is very laid back and is also a chronic alcoholic.
Sophia (Katrina Kaif) is Ranvir's personal secretary. She adores her boss and loves him. Ranvir is totally unaware of her feeling and regards her adoration as her efficiency.
Shaina (Bipasha Basu) is an upcoming Indian ramp model in Durban. She and Ranvir share a very beautiful relationship, which is just on the borderline of love.
R.D. (Anil Kapoor) is a flamboyant police detective who lives by his wits. He has a strange addiction to fruits. He provides the film with witty humor and a very intriguing murder investigation.
Mini (Sameera Reddy) is R.D's personal assistant. She is as dumb as a blonde can be, in spite of being a brunette.
Shaina loves Ranvir, but through a twist of fate, gets married to his younger brother Rajiv. When she discovers that Rajiv is a chronic alcoholic, her world is shattered.
Ranvir too is disturbed, as he has sacrificed his love for his younger brother, because Rajiv had promised him that if he gets married to Shaina, he will leave alcohol forever.
Rajiv, after getting married, breaks his promise and the story starts getting complicated. In a weak moment, Ranvir and Shaina come very close to each other, and an affair starts between the younger brother's wife and the elder brother.
When the younger brother starts suspecting his wife, all hell breaks loose.
A murder is committed, a contract killing is issued, double crossings become the order of the day, betrayals are executed at the blink of an eye, and a point comes where you cannot pick the good from the bad, the evil from the righteous and the tame from the wild.
A sharp tongued detective, R.D, getting wise on the proceedings, starts an intriguing investigation with his brainless bimbo assistant, Mini, and the story starts to move at a breakneck speed, full of unexpected twists and turns making the climax of the movie impossible to predict.
A back drop of horse racing, the beautiful locales of Durban and edge of the seat excitement are the crux of this thriller.

Race is reasonable enough to win a ‘Good’ stamp. But isn’t enough to gain a ‘Excellent’ tag.
