EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Speed only kills, does not thrill! The star flooded action suspense drama is all noise and no game. The plot is soaked with soapy drama and intangible facial expressions of the actors. Touted to be a grand remix of action, suspense, drama and adventure, Speed is a film that should be avoided under all circumstances in actuality.
Director Vikram Bhatt is known for his story lifting techniques from Hollywood films. This time he has chosen ‘Phone Booth’ and ‘Cellular’ as his prime target for his weak plot.
The problem with Speed is that the film moves at a feverish pace, something that is strictly prohibited in an suspense thriller.
Coming to the plot, Zayed Khan is in London in order to ‘pataofy’ his lady love Tanushree Dutta. He wants to prove his love to her. Somewhere else, Sanjay Suri who plays an undercover MI5 agent receives a CD from Aftab and his wife Sophie. The CD has the video of his kidnapped wife, played by Urmila Matondkar.
Sanjay now follows the instructions provided to him by the CD. Smart enough, he asks his colleague Amrita Arora to crack the code. He is stuck in a mysterious situation wherein he is unaware of the proceedings.
Later, he comes to know that he is used a tool to assassinate the Prime Minister of India on his trip to London. Aftab plays the crook in this film and decides to kidnap Suri’s kid in order to make him commit the crime.
Meanwhile, Urmila is on her way to get out of the trap. Her only hope is the phone call that she accidentally makes to Zayed Khan. Zayed lends moral support to the woman in crisis and chooses to save her life at the cost of his girl friend Tanushree.
Aashish Chaudhury, playing the cop, is entrusted with the responsibility of the security of the Prime Minister of India. He is stuck in a situation wherein he has to choose between the life of a officer and a boy friend. He chooses to perform his duty at the cost of his girlfriend’s birthday.
