If one watches this movie, one gets the impression that Durban was hit by a nuclear bomb, where all the people died, but for the cast of the movie. Movie has a very little social scape beyod the 6 characters in the cast. It does not even have a chaffeur or even a janitor by way of a 7th character in the movie.

Other broad stroke of genius in the movie is the assumption that insurance companies are braindead do to be awarding claims worth millions of dollars without any homicide investigation, public prosecution (of murder) & due diligence. Sort of gives the impression that it is all too easy & cool in South Africa.

But, its bollywood – what do you expect for a hundred bucks & a couple of hours of anxious time killing? A few glassy building & some skinshow is all it takes to a masterpiece like this.

Let me guess how this movie could have been extended for couple more hours. Rajiv & Sophia (Akahay & Katrina) do no die in the car accident – Rajiv has hired RD (Anil Kapoor) secretly to stage another fake car blast attempt, while he & Sophia secretly are rescued from the run away car, before the car blew up into pieces. Sophia is actually doing a bidding of her own with collusion with RD, while Anil Kapoor’s dim witted assistant is working secretly for CBI to uncover major insurance scams, ….give wings your imaginiation or ficklenss, whichever way you want to take it.

I hate it when the bollywood movie takes a leap into a song right in the middle of something. the songs are often misplaced, most probably left to the discretion of the editors.

I have one nice thing to say about Race: for once the female characters were not just window dressing and actually did things that forwarded the (painfully stupid and inconsistent) plot.

Your idea about the potential sequel put a firm stop to the torrent of giggles that I’d had while reading to that point. For the love of god, nooooo! You’re totally right, though. If Hrithik can survive in Dhoom 2…. ACK.

And I’m with anonymous – Saif’s looking FINE (this from a long-time Akshaye gal).

I can’t believe the TOI gave race 3-and-a-half stars!!! What was the reviewer thinking?!? They should hire me to write their movie reviews!

I just had an idea – They should make a movie about a movie reviewer who sits and watches movies and reviews them. And he should review his own movie in the end. Funky no?
