Despite putting up a good show at the box office, Race 3 has been panned by critics and audience alike. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5. "The formula - a bunch of super-rich blokes and bling-bedecked broads gypping each other in a game involving power, pelf and perfidy - has worn awfully thin. No amount of surface gloss and 'explosive' action can lend a fresh veneer to the rickety vehicle that Race 3 is," he wrote.

Bobby Deol, who played a pivotal role in the film, said that if Race 3 was "too bad", it wouldn't have done a "good business" in such a short span. "I am really happy because people have appreciated the work of the entire cast of the film, including me. I think criticism affects us when we make a bad film, but I think if our film was too bad then it wouldn't have worked at the box office," Bobby Deol told IANS.

Race 3 also stars Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem. The third instalment has been directed by Remo D' Souza.
