Race, the boldest Bollywood film ever!



One of the boldest films in Bollywood, ever is definitely Race. There is very less drama and heartfelt emotions. This is no review of Race, but a flashback to one of the best thrillers of Bollywood, Race which was high on thrills and less on emotions but still emerged a victor

In Abbas Mustan movies, every emotion is a suspect. Everyone is craving for something, usually insurance money! Race, the boldest movie in Bollywood has step-brothers smoothly trying to eliminate each other without scant regard to each other. They are even shown sleeping with the other’s spouse/girlfriend and getting voyeuristic pleasures in doing so(though this aspect is subtly put). Though there is no elaborate love-making scenes, the concept is intriguing, violent and outrageous. Even movies like Murder, Aitraaz which were supposed to be bold were conservative in some parts so that the traditional sentiments were not hurt. But Race is almost taboo even by the US standards, and still has emerged superhit without ruffling a lot of feathers.
