April 15, 2008 – 10:29 am
Recently for the first time I went to Fun Cinema, Sigma mall to watch a movie. For first timers to this multiplex it may look like it is hidden as you will have to go through a eatery and then climb to the 4th floor. What may look more weired is that you will have to buy ticket at the basement. Moreover, the tickets also do not have screen number properly printed on them. However, we were able to get in and now to the movie “RACE”.
Race is a fast paced suspense thriller. The story is about two NRI brothers of South Africa who play for money, greed, revenge and win. Ranvir(Saif Ali khan) and Rajeev( Akshay Khanna)’s family is quite reach people and had business in ranch and race horses. However, all this is now mortgazed. After their father’s death Ranvir inherited all properties as Rajeev is a chronic alcoholic. Rajeev had developeded a grudge and decided to take revenge by finishing altogether. And thereby raking $50 million as Ranvir’s insurance policy. In the beginning Rajeev tried to kill Ranvir by hiring a contract killer but he survived. Also, around this time Ranvir came to know about this conspiracy and decided to play a double game. In the plan come to play Sonia(Bipasha Basu), Ranvir’s secratery Sophie(Katrina Kaif), inspector RD(Anil kapoor) and his assistant Sameera Reddy.
In the game Rajeev planned to sucide on the issue of his wife having affair with his elder brother Ranvir. But on the contrary kill Ranvir. However, as per Ranvir’s double game he did not die and was keeping eye on everything as dead. At the end he ended up with $200 million as compensation for his own and his brother’s insurance policy. No More …. how all this happened see it yourself.
Good movie, one plays to always win and one plays to defeat. Indeed a lots of difference. Directed by Abbas - Mastan and produced by Tips, it is slated to be one of biggest hits of this year.
