After a dramatic chase, Mumbai Police finally catch up with a severely wounded Sohail Ansari, a terrorist, who assassinated Udyog Mantri Vishwajeet Rana, and hospitalize him. When doctors inform them that he is in a vegetative state, they move him to Neurological Research Institute in Panchgani where his condition is closely monitored by medical staff and Nurse Nupur Chauhan, while the person entrusted with security is Inspector Siddharth Sharma. When Sohail’s journalist girl-friend, Surabhee Patel, breaks-in the hospital, they arrest her, hold her in a cell, but subsequently let her go with a warning. Then the Police will face more challenges and launch a man-hunt after they find out that Sohail has abducted Nupur and has gone on the run.

Viewing Notes

Before he made TWO AND A HALF MEN and started boinking porn stars (publicly), Charlie Sheen made some decent films, the most underrated of which might be THE CHASE.

It’s no classic piece of cinema, but it never purports to be such. Rather, it’s a lightweight action film skewing the media’s obsessive, melodramatic coverage of everything, and that’s something you don’t see often enough. The film isn’t perfect by any means and it’s not one that you laugh out loud at, but it’s amusing and its sarcastic skewering makes up for many of its failures.

My only complaint is that I wish it had been more over the top in the action department like SMOKIN’ ACES or BAD BOYS II to give it a bit more kick.
