The best way to approach “Race 3” is to forget about the number in the title. This purposefully unhinged masala has as much connection to previous entries in the Bollywood action-thriller franchise as “Halloween 3: Season of the Witch” had to its two predecessors.

He’s very real, that’s what makes him endearing and entertaining.”
Interestingly Kiran Kotrial, who scripted the Kumar Taurani production, calls Jayanta’s character a mix of what happens when...
