This time, Remo D’Souza’s Race 3.
They’re going back to the ra-aaa-ce. Caught in a violent gang war between two rival arms dealers, Sikander Singh must navigate a web of betrayal to find the truth and to see that justice is done. It’s about family.

God I hope you didnt actually watch this garbage
We did, for the podcast. It was an… interesting experience. I didn’t hate it, even if it’s not good. We watch Andhadhun directly afterwards, though. Which was a much better movie.
