Speed - the
latest hindi movie starts with a young man (Zayed Khan)
who receives an emergency phone call on his cell phone
from an unknown woman (Urmila Matondkar). She mentions
that she has been kidnapped; and the kidnappers have
targeted her child next. She is kept in a farmhouse/
stable from where she puts together the remains of a
smashed telephone and makes 'the phone call.' Seems the
movie was inspired by Hollywood film, Cellular.
Sanjay is
completely confused about what's happening. Suddenly he
realizes that he is being used in the attempt to
assassinate the Prime Minister of India who is on the
London tour. When he doesn't yield to the plans, Aftab
finally decides to kidnap his kid. On the other hand
Sanjay's kidnapped wife, Urmila, starts trying to
escape. Since her only hope is through the telephone
call she's accidentally made to Zayed Khan. Zayed is in
touch with her throughout, meanwhile his lady love
Tanushree gets annoyed and threatens to break up again.

However, the main plot
involves an assassination of prime minister (aptly played
by Suhasini Mulay) which is masterminded by Raj Zutshi and
gets it executed through Aftab Shivdasani.
The movie is a story of Zayed
Khan who comes to London to convince his girlfriend
Tanushree Dutta to give him another chance to prove his
love for her. Meanwhile, Sanjay Suri, an undercover agent,
receives a CD from Aftab Shivdasani and Sophie Chaudhary,
which contains the recording of his kidnapped wife Urmila
Matondkar, and is asked to follow the instructions.
Being a happy-go-lucky character Zayed, risks his own life
to save an unknown family. Aashish Chowdhary, is the
super-cop of London, who is in charge of security
arrangements of the visiting Indian Prime Minister manages
to get some time for a steamy song with his girlfriend who
has her birthday the very same day.
Vikram Bhatt the director succeeds, to some extent, to
make this film crisp. The music is okay. Pravin Bhatt's
cinematography is surprisingly outstanding, providing
gloss to the locales of London. There are two glamour
dolls - Sophie Chaudhary and Amrita Arora who do their
part well.
It has several compelling moments and has good amounts of
twists and turns. An interesting thriller, despite the
similarities to Cellular.
