Whole tells the story of two young men-both labeled hāfu-born and raised in Japan, and explores their feeling of not belonging and their struggles over their own identity. People seem to forget about those diverse backgrounds, and end up making the same careless comments over and over. It is rare, though, for anyone outside of that group to really understand how it feels.Īnd of course, the people who are referred to by that one word, hāfu, are a hugely diverse group. Imagine how humiliating it must be for people who were born and raised in Japan to be treated as not wholly Japanese, simply because one of their parents was not. The othering shows in people’s gazes, their attitudes, and the words they use. The fundamental problem is that the term lumps together a large group of people and marks them all out for different treatment-an example of othering. Whole examines the potential for pain in casual comments. Of course, the discrimination and unwanted attention that the people actually covered by the term face, as well as their own identity conflicts, are more than simply a matter of terminology. Although hāfu has become common usage over the past 50 years, though, some critics today consider it inappropriate and recommend replacing it with words like daburu (double) or mikkusu (mixed). How Ranvir beats Arman in his own game and avenges Sonia's death with the help of retired cop Robert D'Costa (Anil Kapoor) and his assistant Cherry (Ameesha Patel) forms the crux of the story.In Japan, people with parents from different nations or cultures are commonly called hāfu, from the English word “half.” A singing group made up entirely of just such women, Golden Hāfu, debuted in the 1970s and went on to become relatively popular, showing that the term was already firmly established in the Japanese language. Arman is a ruthless and shrewd businessman who can do anything for money and he cannot tolerate dishonesty in business. He pretends to fall in love with them to get closer to Arman's reason for killing Sonia. Ranvir decides to pursue Arman and in the process, he befriends Arman's half-sister and business partner, Elena (Deepika Padukone) and fiancee Omisha (Jacqueline Fernandez), who claims to be Sonia's sister, Tanya.

Ranvir learns that a billionaire businessman, Arman Malik (John Abraham) is behind the death of Sonia. After his beloved wife, Sonia (Bipasha Basu) is killed by a henchmen, Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) vows to avenge her death. A fast paced thriller that takes the legacy of 'Race1' forward, with high octane action, combined with thrills and twists that have a roller coaster effect, and edge of the seat excitement.

The story of Race 2 is set in the lush locales of exotic Europe, with a backdrop of gambling and Casinos.

Race 2 is the sequel to the 2008 hit film, Race.
