This is not a review.
This is a sincere request to anyone reading that, whatever you may hear about a film called ‘Race 2’, please do not go and watch it.
I am not writing this as a woman who watches a lot of critically acclaimed films. I am writing this as a woman who has enjoyed watching films such as ‘Gunda’, ‘Race’, Mard’ and even the recent ‘Student of the year’. The above stated films may not have garnered a 5 star review from my end but in no way did they make me go off to sleep out of sheer boredom.
Race 2 has many problems so counting all of them would not be fair to the filmmakers. But my biggest problem with the film, keeping aside the fact that there is no story and the dialogues make you want to puke in your mouth is the simple fact that not one of the lovely actresses in the film ever dance! Where is the ‘Zara zara Touch me! Kiss me!’ routine? Where is the ‘Race saanson ki!’ which had Bips, Kaif and Sameera Reddy jiving their legs to. And where is my favourite ‘Khwaab dekhen jhoote muthe’ where Kaif shut the mouths of all those people who said she could not dance. Instead in this film I keep seeing Saif Ali Khan dancing like a wooden monkey, a sight that I did not pay 120 bucks for. Yes. Deepika is wearing almost nothing in the film but would it kill you guys to make her dance to a couple of songs instead of focusing on her face and her lipstick colour so much?
This film is so ridiculous that it makes the viewer miss the shirtless Akshay Khanna by the end of it. Enough said.

Heroine (2012) 0*Yes. You read that right. It says zero stars at the top. And I am going to devote the next few paragraphs to describe how 'rich people' can spend 32 crores producing a film that looks worth nothing more than a magazine shoot. We all know that 'Heroine' is bad but what we don't know is how bad it is. As of today I declare it the worst film of all times. If you think you have seen a bad film, and you have not seen 'Heroine', you don't know what you are talking about. Because in all probability your…

Housefull (2010) 0*There are things that you should not subject yourself to. However less you may think of your intelligence levels, Sajid Khan has proved that there is one man dumber than that. Housefull is so bad that it makes ‘Hey Baby’ (another disaster from the house of crap) look decent. I think i have said enough but i still think its my duty to explain to the people, the junta why they shouldn’t waste their money on this one. There are the intellectuals who never go for the time pass movies and then there are people who don’t believe in serious…

Snowpiercer (2013) ***1/2I recently read not one but a couple of articles citing the death or irrelevance of movie reviewers today. It’s true. Most people can't even differentiate a real review from a paid one and it is a fact that people hate reading. So it all comes down to the stars attached next to the film title. So why even write if a symbol can explain the difference between good or bad cinema. I do not really write because i know a bunch of people will or will not watch a film because of what i said about it. I just…
