The Opera Tattler

  * Notes *
Shot in South Africa and Dubai, the fast paced film Race came out at the end of last month. The plot is fantastically ridiculous, with an alarming plethora of twists and turns. The songs are fun, though some of the dancing from Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu was less than convincing. The baby-blue faux flapper outfit that Ms. Kaif wore during "Zara Zara Touch Me" was also particularly unflattering. However, overall the movie was entertaining and the production values were quite high.

This certainly is the raciest Indian movie I've seen, no on-screen kisses, but exposed torsos of both leading men and an almost graphic love scene. I could have really done without seeing Saif Ali Khan play guitar without a shirt on at the end.

There were hardly any people in the theater, and it must be said I was unsubtly the most badly behaved. I could not stop laughing for most of the two and a half hours of the film, as I was so amused. Apparently this film was inspired by Goodbye Lover, which, thankfully, I have not seen.
