Music 'N Movies 4.0	"...Good Rehash of Goodbye Lover"
	Good
Movie Talkies 3.5	"...Enjoyable Fare"

Movie Walah 3.5	"...Go have fun, enjoy Race and have a wonderful Holi"
Business Of Cinema 3.0	"...a must watch for all Khan fans"
Bollywood Mantra 3.0	"...good to watch and the scenes are appealing to the eyes. Worth watching, an out and out entertaining film"
BBC 3.0	"...Suspend your disbelief to enjoy the kitsch ride"
Indya.com 3.0	"...not bad but a large amount of credit for that goes to the editor and to Allan Amin � the man behind all the action"
Without Giving The Movie Away 3.0	"...doesn�t really warrant a trip to the theaters"
IndiaGlitz 3.0	"...High on action and style"
Deccan Herald 3.0	"...Saucy ladies, macho men to fill a galaxy, slick editing, good dialogues, foot tapping music and a few edge of the seat moments (especially the climax)... Race has it "
IBN Live 3.0	"...a pacy thriller"
	Average
Buzz 18 2.5	"...Intelligent, thrilling, chilling... though at the end you may just find yourself a bit too taxed with the innumerable twists and turns."
NDTV 2.5	"...a low-IQ thriller that delivers too few bangs for the buck. Brave it at your own risk"
MeriNews 2.5	"...Definitely not an ace amongst the thrillers, but an average fare for the audience with an eye for thrillers"
Now Running 2.5	"...is high on wheels with a twisty story and power packed performances. Worth a watch"
Glamsham 2.5	"...At least one trip is recommended if you are an action addict"
ApunKaChoice 2.5	"... Don�t go expecting anything cerebral and you might end up enjoying �Race�"
BoxOfficeIndia 2.5	"...Every now and then we need a masala film & Race is that film. It is actually an unintentional Laugh riot"
Baradwaj Rangan 2.5	"...a thriller that doesn�t have a single dull moment in it � or a single brain cell, for that matter"

Times Now 2.5	"...Fast but not fascinating"
Mag 4 You 2.5	"...A critic has rightly suggested that the movie should have better been titled `Racy'"
Planet Bollywood 2.3	"...if like me, you thought that D2 was the pits, best keep away from this disaster"
Outlook India 2.0	"...schlock cinema at its best or worst whichever way you choose to describe it and it doesn�t pretend to be anything more"
Hindustan Times 2.0	"...an absolutely average Abbas-Mustan plot pourri. But chances are that you might Race out of it, as exhausted as someone who�s been driving for hours without a destination"
MTV India 2.0	"...There are some good points - nicely shot, decent action, good first 20 odd minutes. But nothing to go bonkers over.Overall strictly ok"
AllBollywood.com 2.0	"...a very boys-night-out kind of thriller"
IndiaTimes 2.0	"...is reasonable enough to win a �not bad� stamp. But isn�t imaginative enough to gain a �good� tag"
Stardust 2.0	"...an average fare"
	Poor
Rediff 1.5	"...Watch it if you must; it's not objectionably bad. But there really is nothing at all good about this Race either. Heck, even the horses seem sleepy"
Jam 1.0	"...I�m a bad movie expert. And this movie �Race�, is the best of them all. In the worst possible way"
