HHHHH

Race 3, as the name suggests, is the third edition of the franchise, but has no narrative connection with its previous editions. And unlike its predecessors, this one seems like a jaded fare as it lacks thrills and the adrenaline rush so palpable in its earlier editions.

Convoluted and predictable, this action thriller is a forced family drama. In its broad outlines, Race 3 has a story similar to many Hindi films seen in the 1980s and 1990s, in which the family members are pitted one against another, only to realise that blood bonds are stronger than any external greed.

Shamsher Singh (Anil Kapoor), originally from Handiya in India, has a flourishing arms manufacturing and dealing business, operating from the private island Al-Shifa. Greed makes him plot a heist. He ropes in his twin kids Suraj (Saqib Saleem) and Sanjana
