Though the film did well at the box office, it was not received as warmly as the previous installments.
When asked if there is little disappointment with Race 3, Abbas said, “They are all our friends, we share a good equation with Salman Khan, Ramesh Taurani (producer). We wanted the film to do well. We did wish the film should do well commercially as it was our franchise. And the film did well commercially.” When pointed out that Race 3 was below expectation, Mustan said, “It all depends on the audience, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt work.”
