Synopsis

The tension between two diametrically opposed brothers is brought to boiling point in this stylish Bollywood thriller. Ruthless businessman Ranvir puts his personal feelings for the beautiful Sonia aside when he agrees to let his spoilt younger brother Ranjiv marry her, but only on the condition that he gives up drinking. When Ranjiv breaks his promise, Sonia and Ravir are drawn closer in their contempt for him. Events are further complicated with betrayals, greed and murder, and soon all hell breaks loose in this explosive drama.

4.0 out of 5 stars An almost cartoon-like thriller/action flick: a lot of fun if you don't take any of it seriously (and a sequel is in the works), 30 May 2009
By Lyn "musicolit" (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews
This is about 2 stepbrothers who, growing up in Durbin South Africa, have always turned everything into a race. Older brother (Saif Ali Khan) has always been the winner against younger one (Akshaye Khanna). Older one loves the younger one but younger one has a chip on his shoulder and wants to get rid of older one. Older has a girlfriend (Bipasha Basu) and a secretary (Katrina Kaif) who also figure in the plot. Then there is fruit obsessed police inspector (Anil Kapoor) and his assistant (Sameera Reddy) who come to solve an alleged suicide.., and a racing rival (Dalip Tahil) who plays dirty. This is all set around the race tracks and a South African glamor world of beautiful models and wealth.

Now if you took this as a straight movie you'd have to mark it down as stereotyped and corny. However the whole thing is so outrageous (in a Dhoom sort of way) and almost no character is what they appear. Just about everyone has agendas, double crosses etc. If you just go with it as almost a send-up played straight, it ended up being quite a lot of fun. It is a thriller-action movie that really has little violence in it nor fight sequences. There are some chases for those that like that. There is no real connection between romantic couples yet the whole thing is almost cartoon in quality . So, in that context it isn't a problem as you don't expect depth.

The music is contemporary and the dance scenes high-octane sexy ones yet none of the music remained with me as it did with Dhoom 2 for instance.
So if you are art-house forget it. If you like serious drama and serious thrillers you may have your doubts. It isn't played as comedy but nonetheless can be quite entertaining as you wade through the plot twists and the eventually predictable double dealings.

Elsewhere on the Net it tends to get a little above average. However quite a few really hated it and just as many rated it a high winner. I think it's expectations and how you approach it that explains that difference. It's no Dhoom 2 but I had fun with it and its one of those odd ones that's a keeper. A sequel has been announced using other top Bollywood stars so enough people probably liked it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all!!, 18 Aug 2009
ok, this a great movie, so worth watching.Of cos Saif ali Khan, Anil Kapoor and Akshaye Khanne were the stars of the movie for me. Katrina and particularly Bipasha didn't do anything but look pretty.
