According to, it was a Hit worldwide. Contents. Plot A robbery takes place and European printing plates are stolen. Ranvir Singh goes to a casino owner, Vikram Thapar , claiming to have been behind the robbery. He offers Thapar €1.5 billion in counterfeit currency in exchange for €500 million real banknotes.
Thapar agrees and borrows the €500 million from ex street-fighter and billionaire gangster Armaan Malik. It is then revealed that Ranvir never stole the printing plates, and was conning Thapar. Now, unable to return Armaan's money, Thapar is forced to give Armaan control of five casinos that he owns in.
The con is a plan that Ranvir made a week earlier with Armaan, who he met through Robert 'RD' D'Costa and his dim-witted assistant Cherry. Ranvir gives Armaan ownership of Thapar's casinos in exchange for a 10% commission. The two become friends and business partners while Ranvir begins a romance with Armaan's half-sister and 50% Alina. Ranvir meets Armaan's girlfriend Omisha and sees a picture of his deceased wife Sonia in her wallet. He begins to woo her in order to gain her confidence.
His real plan is to bankrupt Armaan because Armaan and Thapar were responsible for Sonia's death. Omisha tells him that she is Sonia's sister. Ranvir plans to steal the and sell it to Armaan. Afer that, he will steal both the shroud and Armaan's billions of dollars. However, RD, who is afraid of Armaan, betrays Ranvir and tells Armaan the truth. Armaan asks Godfather Anza to give 15 billion as an investment. However, Armaan has to win a fight with fighter Typhoon.
Alina reveals Armaan was the one who planted a bomb in her car to kill her, and decides to help Ranvir. Ranvir steals the shroud while Armaan wins his fight with Typhoon. During the celebration, Alina poisons Ranvir's glass.
As he slowly dies, Armaan reveals that thanks to RD, he knew his plan and Alina was never on Ranvir's side. Omisha is also on Armaan's side and is not Sonia's sister.
After Ranvir dies, Armaan and Omisha retrieve the shroud and leave in their private jet. There, Armaan points his gun at Alina, revealing that he'd been planning to kill her to take her share of the money.
Suddenly, Ranvir crashes through the wall; Alina never poisoned his drink. Alina tells Armaan that she is on Ranvir's side, knowing Armaan was trying to kill her. Ranvir reveals that RD never betrayed him; he himself told RD to inform Armaan of the real plan to make Armaan think he was ahead of Ranvir. Ranvir and Armaan have a lengthy fight in the plane. Armaan tells Ranvir that he killed Sonia because she fled with his money. He shoots the pilot and all the parachutes, escaping with Omisha and leaving Ranvir and Alina to die in the resulting plane crash.
However, the two manage to escape using Armaan's car, which floats on four attached parachutes. Armaan and Omisha hand over the shroud to Godfather Anza. On inspection, it is revealed to be fake. When Anza asks for his, they are also fake. Armaan is forced to hand over his properties, including cars, casinos and yachts, in place of the money, while Omisha dumps him for Anza. Bankrupt, Armaan vows vengeance on Ranvir, who had planned this from the beginning.
In the end, Ranvir visits Sonia's grave and gives RD his share. When RD asks about the real shroud, he reveals that he never stole it and it is still in the Church. Alina had switched the real Bearer Bonds when he and Armaan were fighting on the plane. RD says that he does not want to risk his life again and makes Ranvir promise to never meet him again.
Ranvir warns RD that promises are made to be broken. 'The expectations from Race 2 are humongous and we plan to make it bigger and better than the first part.'

Shresht Poddar, of Score magazine, gave the album 3/5 stars saying, 'Personally, as a standalone album with no biases, it is enjoyable but it could have done with better lyrics. The tracks are foot-tapping and they would appeal to the masses. But if you compare it to Race, the album undoubtedly falls flat.'

Critical reception Madhureeta Mukherjee of Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5, while commenting 'Heists, hot-babes, roulette, raging cars, gizmos and gags – Director duo, Abbas-Mustan have thrown in everything with pompous grandeur, save for a riveting plot that shocks or stuns.'
Rubina A Khan of gave it 3 out of 5 stars, adding, 'Race 2 delivers what it promises – good looking ensemble cast, exotic locations, cars, bomb squads, revenge, lust and love, a couple of good music tracks and, most importantly, a plot which unravels at a thrilling pace.' Shivesh Kumar of awarded the movie 3 out of 5 stars. Taran Adarsh of gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and said 'The writing isn't watertight, the film lacks a hit score, the climax is far from effective and overall, Race 2 pales in comparison to Race.' Of awarded it a score of 2.5 out of 5 while commenting 'The film has no intellectual pretensions; its only ambition is to offer a good time. In that, it mostly succeeds.' Anupama Chopra of gave 2 out of 5, reviewing, 'Race 2 is essentially a big-budget cartoon in which coolness is all. The director duo Abbas-Mustan have no pretensions about what they are making – full-on masala with a dash of revenge, a slice of heist and characters who are either strutting their chiseled bodies in slow motion or betraying each other.'
Saibal Chatterjee of gave it a score of 1.5 out of 5 and feels 'This is a wreck of a movie strictly for action junkies who might be looking for a feverish two-and-a-half-hour ride that is far more giddy than heady.'
