Speed, directed by Vikram Bhatt has all the elements of a thriller, but not executed well enough. The story is clearly inspired by two Hollywood films, Phone Booth and Cellular, but lacks their fast pace and a cohesive story line. No attempt is made to disguise this plagiarism or add some originality, except for a few dull songs, none of which are memorable. London forms the background of the movie, but no attempt is made to portray it differently in the movie.
Sanjay Dutt has created enough publicity to launch a great beginning for all his films till time infinitum. So I guess the makers and backers of Dhamaal should be very happy with the proceedings because their film has got a huge and much needed boost. From the promos and trailers, my impression was that it is a film like Nehle Pe Dehla, Do Aur Do Gyaraah, Jodi No. 1 and so on. In short, I thought it was a complete write off. But before I thrust my judgment on you, let’s have a brief summary of the film.
