To Abbas - Mustan,

Ingredients for a Sequel :

Race 2 rolls with the same series of songs, meant the genre of songs, created by Pritam in 2008 viz; Pehli Nazar Mein as Be Intehaan, Party On my Mind as Khwab Dekhen and Allah Duhai Hai being the sole track for the Movie. Action scenes ( as in the prequel, acclaimed by the audience ), some Bedroom scenes which are reproduced again. Alan Amin with his insane jumps. Importing Atif Aslam. Mix everything together and half bake it. Serve the 2008 blockbuster - sequel chilled.

You wanna get entertained ? Uh-oh again, don’t chalk up with the census and demography as we have been doing for some recent past action movies. Abbas - Mustan Burmawalla - the thriller duo, known for Baazigar, Aitraaz and their past suspense thriller drama - Race. The prequel of Race 2  had a decent plot  in which one could apply one's brains, where this movie gives a lay back to its franchise. Ramesh Taurani wouldn't go for a sequel then again. Indulging your mind to apply in the plot can be as having food with NO Salt and here the film will make you feel exhausted. Though they have a large canvas to display their flick - sequel but still they aren't bolstered with a good writing though. Stops being Original and overuse the scenes created earlier and displays them as any of the average Bollywood Movie. Its case is similar to Dabangg 2, the swearing remark of the second half hits hard as you just seduction & nothing else.

The story begins from where it was left in 08, Ranveer ( Saif Ali Khan ) and Sonia ( Bipasha Basu ) are living their life perfectly. But to their dismay, Sonia is killed under some mysterious traps and conditions and Ranveer now becomes furious and starts hunting for the killer. Inspector Robert D'Costa ( Anil Kapoor ) assists him to get some clues, as now he is the manager of classy club where he permits Ranveer to stay in. Sameera Reddy being replaced by Amisha Patel is jaw - droppingly hot, and as usual Anil tries to make love with his P.A ( Fruits not to be missed ! ). Ho - Hum Ranveer arrives Turkey and faces the heavy Armaan Malik after Robert D'Costa follows his sturdy investigation. Armaan accompanied by his love interest Elena ( Deepika Padukone ) tries to betray Saif, as Katrina did in the prequel. Ranveer touts his most famous dialogue " Race hamesha meri thi aur meri hi rahegi... Kyunki main is Race ka sabse puranaa Khiladi hoon. " Ranveer goes with his topless fight with Armaan, some necking scenes in the latter part awfully leading to terrible dismay of the audience.

Hell Yeah, Race 2 has a good cast, lots of smokin' cars and a palette that may please your eyes to the fullest. All in all, the latter part of the film, including the climax, pulls down the movie drastically. One thing you can do is, wait for the telecast of the Super - Hit Race at your T.V's. Er.. Feast for Saif Ali Khan Fans, while a one - time watch for the rest of the public.
