If we go by the Twitter reactions of this third installment of the Race franchise, you won’t be much thrilled. The audience could not help but compare the previous two installments starring Saif Ali Khan with this one. Despite getting mocked by several fans, the film has managed to rake in massive amount at the ticket windows. On the first Monday, the action flick managed to mint Rs 14.24 crore taking up the total to Rs 120.71 crore.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#Race3 puts up a STRONG TOTAL on Mon... Decline on Mon [vis-à-vis Fri: 51.18%]… Mass circuits/single screens are holding very well, while plexes have started sliding downwards... Fri 29.17 cr, Sat 38.14 cr, Sun 39.16 cr, Mon 14.24 cr.
