Race 2 starts with a motto ‘Betrayal is survival’ and it justifies the same beautifully in style. Also the production design and value of this movie is equivalent to those of Hollywood movies without any compromise, Director Duo Abbas Mastan has done a fabulous job in making their movie highly stylish, sleek and sexy but it lacks the excitement. Why? Read on

Race 2 begins with a new player Armaan Malik (John Abraham) , an ex-boyfriend of the previous race player. A revenge starts  with another and thus Race begins. Race 2 like its predecessor is sleek and stylish shot in exotic locations of Istanbul but it  has a screenplay very similar to the RACE (2008). Those who have seen RACE (2008) will not find many things unpredictable; since beginning every  move played has a pre-revealed sense to the audience and thus whether it’s the approaching of RD (Anil Kapoor) to the Armaan Malik, chameleon characters of Lady leads almost everything was predictable.

Abbas- Mustan, Duo Director of RACE(2008) and RACE 2 must be congratulate first for brining the absolute International production value to this particular movie whether it was a colour changing of playing cards, the classic chase between Saif Ali Khan and the assassinatior ,stealing from Church,John Abraham fighting sequence in the ring and climax all were supremely shot without compromise in quality unlike stupid ‘Prince’ ;in recent years  I  haven’t seen many Hollywood movie of this genre which promise more than this  in terms of production value. But the basic plot of the movie is very hollow, it is badly asking for a strong screenplay and the story. Also at few places technology like security cameras becomes a hindrance to a thriller like this where  the audience starts expecting  hidden camera or microphone in each twisting plot. A human brain is more thrilling than gadgets many a times.

Performances , well Saif Ali Khan has been exceptionally well since his entry as a shrewd and calculative player . John Abraham as Armaan Malik did a decent job and both lady leads , Deepika Padukone and Jacqueline Fernandez look hot as demanded by the script. Anil Kapoor and Amisha Patel were good comic paired. But definitely Aditya Pancholi in cameo appearance successfully made his presence felt impressively.

Background score  by Salim Sulaiman is good but the songs are  more average than the earlier RACE (2008) thou Cinematography by Ravi Yadav is exceptionally good. Shiraz Ahmad the script writer could be blamed for the stale and weak plot, he was expected to design the murder of Ranvir singh wife logically , just one linear explanation ‘woh mere paise lekar bhag gaye thee (she ran away with my money)’ to the core plot of the movie looks silly.

Director Duo Abbas Mastan gives their more than 100% to make Race 2 much bigger than before, more stylish,more grandeur, more sexier than before; if you haven’t seen RACE(2008) this RACE2 is definitely for you, If yes then still it’s a paisa vasool movie comparing other releases of January 2013. Go for it!

A little sweet, salty and a bit spicy, this cocktail taste great with a balanced and perfect blend of flavors of love & friendship. This one is baked fresh right from the desi factory with the ingredients of fresh music, great lyrics, excellent screenplay and great cinematography.

Cocktail is colorful and its story revolves majorly around three characters viz. Veronica – a bindaas metropolitan girl with ‘f##k the world attitude’ who loves and lives her life in her own way; Meera – an introvert, traditional Indian girl who has left India to be with her husband who is living & working in London and Gautam Kapoor- A devil flirt with ‘F##k any girl onway attitude’ who lives his life king size with no idea of difference between love, flirt & friendship. All three characters met coincidently and start living together which took their friendship to a different dimension of confusions and emotions. The treatment of these emotions with a topping of timely humour is what makes Cocktail a really watchable and entertaining love story

Homi Adajania has played his second shot after ‘Being Cyrus’ and hit a six. Cocktail is genuinely a multiplex movie and basically targeted at the metro audience and Homi Adajania has felt the pulse right. From the opening scene of the movie where Saif ali khan was flirting with Air hostess to the climax of the movie everything has been taken care of perfectly without being loose anywhere in the script, no doubt the credit also goes to Imitiaz Ali and Sajid Ali for the story and screenplay. What is important here is if someone narrates the story it sounds simple and old but it’s the treatment of the subject including the performances of the main leads, Music & Lyrics (Pritam & Irshad Kamil) and cinematography (Anil Mehta) which has brought  a complete fresh look and flavor  of the movie.

Performances?

 Well Deepika Padukone as Veronica has given her one of the best performances and emerged as one of the strongest contender for Best actress award this year and maybe she win it too. She has given the flawless performance as a bindaas metro girl or as she says herself a rich bit#h but you would love the way  she is. Diana Penty as Meera has made an outstanding debut and will take you away with her charm and sweet persona.Saif Ali Khan as Gautam kapoor fits perfect in his Casanova avatar thou his age factor is a minus factor for this movie.

 There are few scenes worth mentioning here

      a)      In a scene where veronica confess her love for  Gautam to Meera, Deepika Padukone truly 

         stands out

b)      In a scene where Gautam tries to make Meera happy by flirting her in cape town is memorable

c)       In  a scene when Gautam’s mother visited Veronica house and Saif Ali khan was dancing with the weird makeup is hugely entertaining

Cocktail definitely tries to touch upon thou not an solution to the  mental state of a man in the society  where he expect his girlfriend like Veronica and Wife like Meera despite taking into the fact into consideration that both are women with heart and emotions. The Line between friendship and love is very thin amongst opposite genders and that where lies the source of complexity of relationship. Cocktail maintained desi cinema status despite being international in treatment but with grace; truly as it name it tries to serve a blend of various flavors  being friendship as its core drink…Enjoy this daru desi J
