I agree, aero.

I actually know a lot of people that loved this movie. It's just the users on imdb that didn't like it.

I guess people just prefer unfunny, unentertaining films like Om Shanti Om rather than unpredictable films like Race.

how was OSO unfunny?

the unpredictability of Race became too predictable
tonnes of twists doesnt make a good thriller

u have got to be frikkin kidding me man...
this movie really blew, from the placing of bombs in anyones car, to the "unfunny" anil kapoor (the directors mustve have been looking for some humour and said...oh lets have this cop who keeps eating fruits!) to the shoddy action, horrible screenplay and the whole "actually mera plan chal raha tha" and the the other brother is like "nehi mera plan chall raha tha" for like 60 times over...and just when u think its over, they cant even let the movie unravel, instead saif has to get a drink and sit and explain that how actually "mera plan chal raha tha".
Music was horrible except for the atif aslam song; which was bodering on decent. none of the songs were warranted and zara zara touch me touch me gets the award for the most off-turning song ever.
no need for the stupid horses or sameera reddy, just a bad bad movie all in all.

Sameera Reddy had a pointless role & Anil Kapoor was annoying.

How was it funny, Q? So many people were saying how it's so funny...not once did I laugh. It was one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen.

Not to me.

Most films that has me wanting to see what happens until the very end is a good one for me.

I'm not kidding i like these kind of films where you keep getting surprised.It's better than the usual love triangle films bollywood usually makes.

Well, if you see the comments, most negative comments are from outside India (ie the "NRIs" probably), who are so much used to bollywood bashing.
I mean if they are so offended by bollywood movies, cant they do everyone a favor by not watching it.

Ofcourse unless it stars srk. have you noticed those dumb romances from srk, karan johar, yash chopra collects big overseas.

if you want other people to respect indian movies, you should start with yourself. hint - stop using the word bollywood?

reply

Why dont they say Indian film industry or something. Bollywood are doing everything to look like hollywood but failes big time. Even this movie are a copy from "goodbye lover". And the song zara zara touch me is copied and the music producer got sued big time

Lee-Hom Wang's song: http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=aqbued2_atc

listen and judge yourself

Even the name bollywood is copied =)

no in goodbye lover the brother, jake, didnt know sandra was married to his brother.

reply

Dude, thats the only change in the hole script. So it make Race orignal just because they change a little bit? Race is based on the 1998 Hollywood movie Goodbye Lover with other words. A bollywood rip off! I really like Akshay Khanna but this movie was pure crap with terrible music!

reply

The movie is a great parody.
