What it is about
Shamsher Singh, a powerful arms dealer based in Abu Dhabi, runs his empire from a private island called Al-Shifa. A rivalry over inheritance and family loyalty develops between his stepson Sikander and his twin children, Sanjana and Sooraj. Cross romances and secrets from the past within the clan force everyone to pick a side.
How it was made
The project is the third instalment of the series that began with Race (2008) and continued with Race 2 (2013). It was announced in 2015 with Abbas-Mustan as directors and Saif Ali Khan as the lead, but Saif was later dropped. Salman Khan agreed to take part on the condition that Remo D'Souza, a former choreographer, would direct. Shooting began in November 2017 in Mumbai and moved to Thailand and Abu Dhabi, with locations such as the Emirates Palace and the Liwa Desert. Jacqueline Fernandez trained in mixed martial arts for her action scenes.
Reception and legacy
Critics were harsh, targeting the script, dialogue, performances, music and action sequences. It was released on 15 June 2018, coinciding with Eid, and had a moderate box-office run in India and elsewhere. It has not left a notable mark beyond the franchise it belongs to.
