Race

                The very thought of watching a movie always leaves me arguing whether to rent a DVD or buy an expensive PVR ticket? When it came to watching race, I decided not to go against my intuitive apprehension and opted for a rented DVD instead; which I now thank myself for.
                    They say too many cooks spoil the broth. Likewise, too many stars and plot twists can also create a Babel out of a movie. My expectations from Race was minimal, however I never imagined the movie to be unbearable. Saif and Akshaye; have more powerful attitude and wardrobe than performance. Katrina looks good but stands like a barbie throughout the entire length of the movie. Bipasha is awkward in her portatyal of a sexy and manuipulative gold digger.(Soembody teach these girls some body language). Sameera Reddy was somewhat tolerable as the the dumb associate to Detective R.D a.ka. Anil kapoor . I mean it is certainly better to act a fool than look a fool. Anil kapoor was the last nail on the coffin. Whether it his blond streaks, his silver tipped boots, his weird characterisation or, last but the least, his efforts to roamance and seduce a girl of his daughtrer's age (Sameera Reddy).
            The original conept must have been a good one, but poor attention to detail and characterisation (lets rememeber that only wearing cowboy hats and boots don't make you a Ranch owner) sunk the plot. The sound tracks were all the wrong places, especially when  Allah duhai track comes from out of the blue the . Pritam too hadn't done much of a great work apart from the stolen track-  Pehli Nazar. Above all, as Abbas-Mustan's stunt to ad on more and more masala, leaves the audience with a bitter taste.
