A movie without a story can work if at least the action is well crafted and leaves an impression. This has nothing, except for the fact that the action sequences, even if too long, are not bad.

Unfortunately, the action doesn’t carry the story forward, and at the end of the film, you are back to the start, except that you lost 3 hours, some rupees and got a headache in the bargain. I think the best part is getting out of the cinema. The haughty Khan with his flop dialogues can speak them out tapori style and relate to the masses, but the tragedy is that the lingo is supposed to be for well educated, second generation rich, and it doesn’t works.

Everyone got ‘The Khan’ kind of dialogues, but everyone not being in that class, delivers them like ‘fizzled out bombs’. Being a Salman movie, it will probably do well. If ‘The Khan’ just stands for 3 hours in front of a defocussed camera and delivers a line or two every few minutes, he could still garner some claps, appreciation from his fans and a Rs 100 Crore in revenues, but that would still be better than this sorry tale of Race3.
