Plot

After his beloved wife, Sonia (Bipasha Basu) is killed by a henchmen, Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) vows to avenge her death. Ranvir learns that a billionaire businessman, Arman Malik (John Abraham) is behind the death of Sonia. Ranvir decides to pursue Arman and in the process, he befriends Arman's half-sister and business partner, Elena (Deepika Padukone) and fiancée Omisha (Jacqueline Fernandez), who claims to be Sonia's sister, Tanya. He pretends to fall in love with them to get closer to Arman's reason for killing Sonia. Arman is a ruthless and shrewd businessman who can do anything for money and he cannot tolerate dishonesty in business. How Ranvir beats Arman in his own game and avenges Sonia's death with the help of retired cop Robert D'Costa (Anil Kapoor) and his assistant Cherry (Ameesha Patel) forms the crux of the story.

Cast

Production

Casting

After the success of Race (2008), Ramesh Taurani registered Race 2 as a title and Abbas-Mustan said that they would go ahead with a sequel "if we get a script in place which is even better than the original."[6] The screenplay was written by Shiraz Ahmed who also wrote Race. Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor were the first to sign on to the film in November 2009 and were reported to be the only returning cast members from the first film.[7] In June 2010, John Abraham was signed on to play the antagonist and Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra were approached to co-star opposite Khan and Abraham respectively.[8][9] However, Kapoor turned down the role as she didn't want her pairing with Khan to get repetitive and Chopra opted out due to scheduling conflicts and was subsequently replaced by Padukone.[10] It was also rumoured that Asin had been shortlisted to star alongside Khan.[11] In December 2010, Sonakshi Sinha was cast as a replacement for Kapoor.[12] Chitrangda Singh was approached for a role opposite Anil Kapoor in May 2011 but eventually dropped out for unspecified reasons.[13] Ameesha Patel and Mallika Sherawat were considered for that same role but it ultimately went to Patel.[14][15]

"The expectations from Race 2 are humongous and we plan to make it bigger and better than the first part."

—Taurani on Race 2[16]

The film's shooting was set to begin on 5 October 2011 but was postponed to accommodate Deepika Padukone's dates causing scheduling conflicts with Sonakshi Sinha.[17] Sinha's dates conflicted with her filming schedule for Dabangg 2 (2012), forcing her to drop out. In October 2011, Jacqueline Fernandez who had opted out Krrish 3 & Raaz 3 was cast as a replacement for Sinha.[18] Shortly afterwards, it was announced that Bipasha Basu would be reprising her role as Sonia in a cameo appearance, and continuing to be Khan's girlfriend. The movie's plot will revolve around her murder. Despite rumours suggesting that Basu will be sharing screen space with ex-boyfriend John Abraham for the first time after their breakup, Abraham denied this.[19][20][21]

Filming

The first shooting schedule began on 5 November 2011 in Mumbai for 15 days, wrapping up on 20 November.[22] Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt was in talks to join the cast, but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[23][24] The second schedule commenced on 23 January 2012 in Mumbai. However, Deepika dropped out within six days because the film was always being rescheduled.[25]

Race 2's producer Ramesh Taurani released a statement to the media deeming Padukone's behavior as "unethical, unprofessional and unacceptable".[26] Also, it was reported that Nargis Fakhri was offered the role to replace Kapoor, although it has been rumoured that she declined the offer, thus avoiding any controversies regarding her and Kapoor.[27] However, Deepika Padukone and Taurani agreed on a settlement after much negotiation and the filming continued as planned.[28] Jacqueline Fernandez, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone joined the cast in May at Istanbul for the third schedule. On 7 October 2012, shooting was completed.

Release

Race 2 was released in 3200 screens in India and the film is the third biggest release ever for a Hindi film after Ek Tha Tiger(3300 screens) and Dabangg 2(3700 screens).[29] Race 2 was released in more than 50 countries, including US, UK, Gulf, Australia, Pakistan as well as non-traditional markets like Maldives,East Timor,Myanmar, Morocco and Vietnam(with as many as 7 screens).[30] The film has a simultaneous release in Morocco in four to five screens, including theatres in Casablanca and Marrakech.[31] Race 2 is subtitled in Arabic, Thai, Bahasa, Malay, Vietnamese, Dutch.[32][33]

Reception

IBN Live gave the soundtrack four stars of five saying, "Race 2's soundtrack is racy to the core. In a nutshell, the album is bound to be a hit. Let's just hope the movie is as good as the soundtrack is!" Shresht Poddar, of Score Magazine, gave the album three out of five stars saying, "Personally, as a standalone album with no biases, it is enjoyable but it could have done with better lyrics. The tracks are foot-tapping and they would appeal to the masses. But if you compare it to Race, the album undoubtedly falls flat."[34] Goku, of IndiBeats! included the album in the 'average' category commenting that "No doubt Pritam has worked on the album well, there is a fair deal of DJing done, but something is amiss and hence the album is worth a hear, nothing more."[35]

Critical reception

Race 2 received mixed reviews from critics. Madhureeta Mukherjee of Times of India rated Race 2 3 out of 5 star while commenting "Heists, hot-babes, roulette, raging cars, gizmos and gags — Director duo, Abbas-Mustan have thrown in everything with pompous grandeur, save for a riveting plot that shocks or stuns."[36] Rubina A Khan of The First Post gave it 3 out of 5 stars, adding, "Race 2 delivers what it promises — good looking ensemble cast, exotic locations, cars, bomb squads, revenge, lust and love, a couple of good music tracks and, most importantly, a plot which unravels at a thrilling pace."[37] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "The writing isn't watertight, the film lacks a hit score, the climax is far from effective and overall, Race 2 pales in comparison to Race." Race 2 gets negative reviews everywhere.[38]

Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN award it a score of 2.5 out of 5 whule commenting "The film has no intellectual pretentions; its only ambition is to offer a good time. In that, it mostly succeeds."[39] Anupama Chopra of Hindustantimes gave 2 out of 5, reviewing, "Race 2 is essentially a big-budget cartoon in which coolness is all. The director duo Abbas-Mustan have no pretensions about what they are making — full-on masala with a dash of revenge, a slice of heist and characters who are either strutting their chiselled bodies in slow motion or betraying each other."[40] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave it a score of 1.5 out of 5 and feels "This is a wreck of a movie strictly for action junkies who might be looking for a feverish two-and-a-half-hour ride that is far more giddy than heady."[41]

Controversy

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, the largest of Sunni clerics in India, urged PM Manmohan Singh to stop their publication and display of Race 2 posters that featured verses from the Quran.[42]

Box office

India

Race 2 had a good opening at both multiplexes and single screens with occupancy of around 60-70% range, in domestic market.[29] The film had a very good opening day, netting ₹14.25 crore (US$1.7 million).[43] The film showed 37% growth in its second day, collecting approx. ₹17.50 crore (US$2.1 million) nett.[44] Race 2 did well on its first weekend by collecting around ₹46.25 crore (US$5.5 million) nett by collecting around ₹14.50 crore (US$1.7 million) on Sunday.[5] Race 2 dropped on Monday as it collected around ₹6 crore (US$720,000) nett.[45] Despite dropping collections after the weekend,the film managed to do well and netted around ₹66 crore (US$7.9 million) in its first week.[46]Race 2 did pretty well on its second Friday collecting around 3.25 crore nett.[47]

Overseas

Race 2 had a good opening in overseas with $3.25 million approx in opening weekend.[48]

Sequels

A very good opening weekend of Race 2 has done the trick for its makers. As is expected from successful franchises, even Race is also set for its third installment now. This would add it to the elite club which has GOLMAAL, Dhoom and Krrish as its members currently.

"It makes sense as well, says a source, "Ending of Race 2 has been left open ended. Since John Abraham character hasn't been done away with entirely, unlike Akshaye Khanna who was bumped off in Race, it is clear that he would be back for revenge. However, it has to be seen whether he returns in RACE 3 or RACE 4."

Though connection between Raceand Race 2 was quite feeble with Bipasha Basu tying the two stories, the makers are keeping the cards close to their chest as far as revealing the plot of RACE 3 is concerned.

Says producer Ramesh Taurani who has hit gold with his Abbas-Mustan directed flick, "I want a 10-day holiday now. It has been a two year long journey to put together Race 2. But yes, RACE 3 is definitely on. With the sequel doing so well at the box office, it deserves more installments. We have these as a part of our immediate plans."
