Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) runs a ranch in Durban, South Africa where he raises thoroughbred race horses and run them on the international racing circuit. Ranvir has brought up more than his share of champions, and he's made a tidy fortune through his hard work, willingness to take a chance and sheer ruthlessness. Ranvir's brother Rajiv (Akshaye Khanna) also works in the business, but he lacks his sibling's drive and prefers to drink and enjoy the spoils of success. Ranvir is dating a beautiful woman named Sonia (Bipasha Basu), but when Rajiv announces that he and Sonia have fallen in love and want to get married, Ranvir takes the news in stride and gives the couple his blessings. However, what Ranvir doesn't know is that Rajiv has more in mind than stealing his girl -- Rajiv and Sonia are planning to murder Ranvir and take charge of his empire. Race also stars Katrina Kaif as Ranvir's personal assistant and Anil Kapoor as a no-nonsense police detective. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Derek Elley, Variety
Delivers solid, brainless entertainment thanks to a precision-built script and performances that are all in the same key.

Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
[A] twisty, gorgeously shot and edited house of games with some of the all-out best action scenes you'll ever see.
