The
Franchise
That
Was
Never
Meant
To
Be
''Where
an
ageing
superstar
banks
on
nothing
more
than
his
shirtless
act
to
push
forward
a
Bollywood
franchise
that
was
never
meant
to
be.''
Watch
In
Utter
Disbelief
''So,
we
watch
in
utter
disbelief,
as
Bollywood's
infamous
man-child
gleefully
plays
fast
and
furious
with
his
bunch
of
cronies.''
Only
Remo
D'Souza
Can
Do
This
''Only,
his
director
Remo
D'Souza
refuses
to
play
along
and
turns
an
action
thriller
into
a
strange
Broadway-style
musical.''
When
The
Actors
Are
Not
Speeding
In
A
Supercar
''Every
actor,
when
not
speeding
in
a
supercar
or
firing
away
guns,
gets
a
song
and
lavish
set-pieces
to
perform
in.
Ayananka
Bose's
frames
filter
out
every
little
blemish,
every
wrinkle
and
makes
them
insta-glorious.
The
men
have
their
muscles
ripped
while
the
women
wear
their
perfect
curls
and
flutter
their
eyelashes.''
It
Ends
Up
Unintentionally
Comical
''Basically,
what
the
acting
crew
lacks
in
talent,
they
make
up
by
glamming
up
and
flashing
their
gym
bod.
All
this
could've
been
forgiven,
if
the
fight
was
worth
the
punch.
At
over
160-minutes,
it
ends
up
unintentionally
comical,
highly
illogical
and
horrendously
tacky.''
It
Has
A
Lame
Plot
Gulf
news
writes,
''The
thriller,
starring
Salman
Khan
and
directed
by
Remo
D'Souza,
reeks
of
bad
writing,
terrible
dialogues,
pretentious
acting
and
a
lame
plot.''
It's
A
Classic
Example
Of
''It's
also
a
classic
example
of
how
throwing
wads
of
cash
into
an
action
thriller
and
dolling
it
up
with
snazzy
cars
or
having
its
stars
do
slow
motions
cannot
save
the
day.''
Race
3
Is
A
Disappointment
''Race
3,
which
delves
into
the
lives
of
a
wealthy
dysfunctional
family
in
pursuit
of
power
and
money,
is
a
disappointment.''
Even
Salman
Khan's
Charisma
Fails
To
Ignite
This
Mess
''Even
Khan's
charisma
and
star
power
fails
to
ignite
this
colossal
mess.
Race
3
splutters
to
life
in
bits
and
parts,
but
it's
a
mammoth
let-down.'' Keep
