On 15th June Salman Khan’s ‘Race 3’ released in theatres and it made a grand opening of Rs 29 crore. It is the third installment of Race franchise and Salman Khan has co-produced the movie with Ramesh Taurani. The numbers are good but are not the expected figures from a Salman Khan Eid release. It is expected to earn a fair amount over the weekend.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted “Race3 records a GIGANTIC START, despite pre-Eid making a dent in its business… Emerges the BIGGEST OPENER of 2018 [so far]… Fri ₹ 29.17 cr. India biz… With
festivities commencing today [Sat], Race3 is expected to post MASSIVE NUMBERS.”

‘Race 3’ has dethroned movies like ‘Baaghi 2’, ‘Veere Di Wedding’ and ‘PadMan’ with its opening day 1 collections. Salman Khan and Eid go hand-in-hand. Every year Bhaijaan releases his movie on Eid. His movies have become blockbusters and Race 3 is his sixth Eid release to have earned almost Rs. 30 crores on opening day. It has sold the satellite rights at around Rs 130 crore even before the release of the movie. The movie is made on a budget of around Rs 140 crore and in the coming days it will rake in the moolah and earn a good profit out of it.

Race 3 got mixed reviews from audiences as well as critics. On 29th June Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Sanju’ is releasing and Race has two weeks to mint as the upcoming flick can prove as a tough competitor to Race. The oldest member of the Race family is Anil Kapoor and he has pulled off his role quite well. Other stars in the movie are Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem and Freddy Daruwala.
