Race is an Indian neo-noir action crime film series produced by Ramesh S. Taurani and Kumar S. Taurani under the banner of Tips Industries. The series was written by Kiran Kotrial, Shiraz Ahmed, Anurag Prapanna and Jitendra Parmar, which stars Saif Ali Khan as the main lead and Anil Kapoor as a recurring character for first 3 films. Race and Race 2 are directed by Abbas Mustan while the third film, Race 3 was directed by Remo D'Souza. Kapoor returned once again, this time in a new role with Salman Khan and Bobby Deol joining the cast. Race 3 received negative reviews and didn't perform well as previous films at the box office. The first film is loosely based on the 1998 Hollywood movie Goodbye Lover.
