SPEED - Now don't get confused with the namesake 'speedy' thriller which released around a decade back and was a huge success worldwide. Instead, SPEED is inspired from another Hollywood hit, CELLULAR, which too was a racy thriller that kept it's audience at the edge of the seats.

The basic plot of SPEED is simple though the situations that the protagonists go through are quite complex to say the least. The central character in the film is Urmila who only has one device which could help her survive from her kidnappers - her cell phone!

But first of all how and why has she been kidnapped? Well, she is the wife of an undercover MI5 agent (Sanjay Suri) who has to follow certain instructions as dictated by criminals in tow Aftab Shivdasani and Sophie Chaudhary. In an attempt to use Sanjay Suri to aid the assassination of India's Prime Minster, they put pressure on him by first kidnapping his wife and later his kid.

In some other part of the city, London, where all the action is taking place, is a happy-go-lucky character Zayed Khan who is busy wooing his girlfriend Tanushree Dutta. But in the midst of all this 'masti' and 'maza' he gets a call.

A call which he would have never anticipated.
A call for which he had to immediately find a solution.
A call which may result in him loosing his girlfriend forever.

Still, he chooses this call over everything else. He does that because on the other side of the call is Urmila for whom he is her final hope....and the last call. Because if the call disconnects, she is not in a position to make another call! This is her last and final chance of survival and she has to hold on to it.

Now what Zayed has to do is follow instructions of a total stranger, give back some instructions and last but definitely not the least, act as her only moral support. He has to make sure that the call doesn't disconnect, the assassins do not make their move, he doesn't come in the way of the criminals and Urmila is safe from their clutches.

Meanwhile London cops too get a hint of something going fishy during the PM's visit and go all out to make sure that they get their best men on duty. One such man is Ashish Chaudhary who leaves aside his personal obligations and makes sure that he is up there for the call of the duty!

Zayed has to save Urmila
Ashish has to save the PM
Sanjay has to ensure that the assassins' plans are foiled
Aftab and Sophie have to ensure that their plans materialize at whatever cost

And all of this promises to happen at a 'speed' which is sure to take you through a roller coaster ride which begins tomorrow i.e. 19th October!
