Race 2 directed by Abbas-Mustan is a sheer disappointment.
Except for some few exceptional performances and beautiful cinematography,nothing else works.
Clichéd screenplay,lack of surprising twist and turns,addition of unwanted characters,slow-pacing and unwanted songs.
The first half of the movie was a bit interesting,but the second half turns out to be more painful,thanks to the hackneyed writing.
The twists and turns in the second half,is the same twist and turns we saw in its predecessor,Race! Even there are so many songs in the movie.After every 10-15 minutes of some action sequences or some laughable dialogs,there appears song.
Story: Ranvir (Saif Ali Khan) treads through the world of the Indian mafia in Turkey as he looks to avenge the death of his lover and partner in crime.
The direction is terrible.
The writing is half-baked.
The action sequences is average.
The music is fairly okay."Allah Duhai Hai" is the best of all.
The cinematography by Ravi Yadav is excellent.The scenic beauty of Cyprus and Istanbul has been captured very well and is a treat to the eye for the viewer.
Performances:
John Abraham's performance is the best of all.He acts the evil part with perfection.Saif Ali Khan is average.Anil Kapoor is good.
Deepika Padukone looks gorgeous and acts well.Jacqueline Fernandez looks appealing but acts appalling!
Ameesha Patel,Aditya Pancholi,Bipasha Basu and Rajesh Khattar are all wasted.
All in all,Race 2 is bad successor to Race.I am giving it a three on ten.Colossal Disappointment!
