*Best part in the
movie**- Obviously the Drifts and the races (what else are the people
watching the movies for :P)
*Story- **Sean
is like this troublesome guy who gets into some or the other mess very often.
In the start of the movie, he stays with his mother and attends his high school
there. At the school, because of provocation he races with one of his school
mate and both end up hurting themselves and their cars are a crash too. (The best
parts of the races in the movie are the stunts…awesome). To avoid the jail sentence
and out of sheer aggravation, his mother sends him away to his dad, who stays
in Tokyo.
His father is a very
strict guy, who has laid down some rules and regulations for his son in order
to avoid more trouble. He starts attending school there and makes some nice
friends too. He meets this girl Nella there at the school and finds an instant
attraction towards her.
He is friend with
this guy Twinkie who practices illicit selling of goods, more specifically
electronics. He takes him to this place where all the races are conducted.
There Sean sees many different hot cars as well as hot girls. He even sees
Nella there but this time with a guy, DK. Because of an argument and obviously
over-smartness of Sean, he ends up racing with DK. (Obviously he looses it to
the ‘Drift King’.)
Eventually, he
realizes that DK and his friends are connected with the under-world and he also
gets involved partly with the business as he becomes a very good friend of Han,
a very close friend and co-worker of DK and also his girlfriend Neela.
After lots of cars
practices, car races and a little ‘dishum-dishum’, Sean now is in major
trouble. He has to race with DK again to win over the girl and to prove that he
is like this good guy in front of the major under-world don, Uncle Kamata who
is apparently uncle of DK.
Now, the major wide
of the mark in the movie were, Han becoming good friends with this unknown guy
Sean for what reason, he better knows. Then, Sean suddenly doing a drift better
than Han and DK, who was the drift king and was practicing it since 8 years.
The accent of some people and if you hear their English more than twice, you’ll
end up having trouble with your grammar too.
Best parts of the
movie were the drifts, the stunts, the hot babes, the exciting locations for the
races, not being caught by local police when racing, the drifts by the heroine-
Neela, the amazing soundtracks like ‘fast and furious-drift’ and ‘six
days-remix’.
I remember watching
this movie with hella lota excitement and thrill. I enjoyed it more than some of
my guy friends and when I was out of the theatre, the first thing I told was “I
wanna learn how to Drift!” All my friends were laughing on me and I knew then
and there than yet another trend had been set. Races in Mumbai (Reclamation and
kharghar) were nothing new but just another stunt got furthered.
I believe it’s a must
watch, atleast after watching the prequels, you would enjoy it just as much. Enjoyable by both girls as well as guys and just another amazing experience like you had when you watched the prequels and Speed and Cars and all.
