《生死竞赛2》是一部由亚尼·卡普、赛尔夫·阿里·汗、约翰·亚伯拉罕等印度明星主演的动作片，故事和2008年的第一集保持延续，场面更加火暴，视觉效果也更具冲击力。这套动作片可谓打破了宝莱坞电影“帅哥美女加歌舞升平”对于观众的印象，也是印度年度的动作巨制，在印度本土受到了极大的欢迎。而片商对本片的全球市场也颇具信心，因而和其他几部宝莱坞大作一样，《生死竞赛2》也选择在北美同步上映，也显露出了印度电影“走出国门”的自信。本片上周在全球5个地区开画，首周票房1439万美元，排在全球票房榜第七位。《生死竞赛2》可谓集齐了所有商业大片的元素，性感美女、猛男帅哥、激情歌舞、浪漫爱情、计谋复仇、火爆枪战、急速飞车、街头格斗、疯狂跑酷、无间道，计中计，相信你看完之后，会对印度电影有一个全新的认识。
