A suspense thriller is not just about hiding the truth at one time and revealing it later.
But it also has to take care of how shocking that truth is and the way you are exposing it.
On this note Race has beautifully en-cashed on this theory where as the second installment only deals with the first point and misses the later. And this is where a film that is full on style and glamor quotient, relying much on cleavage and muscles show falls badly in brain power.
Race 2 is the story of Ranvir played by Saif who is on mission to strike a deal with Aarman Mallik played by muscular John which can turn out to be a deal of their life and a big money spinner. To get Aarman's attention he takes the help of Robert Decosta(Anil Kapoor). Then comes Depika who is Arman's sister and his partner, Jaquline (John's love intereset) . There is Amisha Patel also who's has replaced Smaeera Reddy as Anil's secretary whose only job is to seduce his Boss. As the story progresses with unfolding the real intention of each characters, love-hate-betryal, song-dance sequence and couple of action scenes. Sounds like having all ingrediants of a masala port boiler this one has serious lacking of a sincere effort to make it at per with its earlier franchaise if not more.
Coming to the script writer Sheeraz Ahmad has founded his base on the template of Race. Similar kind of unpredictibility, scenes and confrontation among the actors. Those who are familiar with earlier Abbas Mustan flicks will find no time in guessing what is going to happen next. There is a scene where Deepika asks Saif to revisit their last one night stand and they headed towards the hotel. On the way they realised there is a bomb planted which follows a daredelivery by Saif and finally they got rid of it. This eventually led to open another suspense. Here just for the shake of creating suspense the entire scene is ployed and it has no relation with the primary narrative. In short it seems like the makers has just intended to encash the success of Race and they have tried to create everything similar to it in Race 2.
All the actors have given decent performances in their limitation. But it is Saif who stands out among the crowd. His body language has the needed style and arrogance of a tycoon. John has got the body some times miss the language. At some instances he appears very mechanical. Depika has less screen space than Jaqline but both have done an un-complainable job. Anil Kapoor provides the require humour. For Amisha Patel its neither good nor bad. Other suposring cast have also delivered their job. Its just the script which can not elevate things from ok to good.
