Race 3, an in-name-only third installment of a wildly successful franchise, has me thinking: Who let the filmmakers attach the name to this steaming pile of crap? It's not quite sure what it wants to be. Like a cross between a heavy-handed soap opera, a heist movie, an over-the-top musical extravaganza and a mindless Michael Bay blockbuster, complete with illogical explosions. By the end of the first extended action sequence, I wanted to tap out but I knew I wasn't getting a refund due to the use of MoviePass so I was in it for the long haul.Clocking in at 160 minutes (standard for an Indian film), we are treated to about a minute of thanks credits before being quickly thrown into the squabbles of this wealthy dysfunctional family, the Singhs. The film gives us a narrative, describing each living member of the family with great detail, as if these characters already existed. It's like watching someone narrate Dallas.Since almost everyone in the film has more negative qualities than positive, this makes it hard to find someone to relate to. There is one who stands out, Sikander (Salman Khan, who also produces), as a sort of black sheep. Decent performances are given but they're all hindered by the writing, which adds something new on so often one can lose track. I see it as a bizarre parallel to my own work.I don't have much experience in Indian cinema. Only a few have crossed my path (Dr. Cabbie, Padmaavat and Aiyaary) but this one makes me question the future of my seeking out more. I know there are way better ones out there, and I'll find those.Visually, the film has a rather blatant abuse of slow motion effects. Even to the smallest of details. This may be due to my lack of viewing but there was a lot of jumping between Hindi and English, and subtitles for both sides. As well as a number of inconsistencies in the translation (some words come out spelled differently, words being capitalized strangely).Don't get me wrong. I love musicals (I saw The Greatest Showman five times and I embrace all kinds of different selections) but here, the over-the-top flashy theatrical musical numbers felt so out of place and very overlong.I'll have to seek out some Indian films with repute, and perhaps not go gung ho next time. If there is a Race 4 after this (rumor has it, there will be), I'm afraid I may have to steer clear. 0.5/5.

Worst bollywood movie ever. they spoiled the actual Race series.
don't watch at list one time. advice every one to never watch this movie.
now a day Indian generation on wrong way. because there are so many movies like parmanu is the best movie but no one cares.
they are blindly follow some particular actor. wasting of time and money.
