I guess this would be the sequel

This is the squillionth time, in all probability, I am watching the Hollywood block-buster called “Speed”. I feel this is one of the most adventurous movies I had ever seen. I always wondered why such type of an action packed film is not being made in India. Ok, let me ponder as to how the film will be if it is ever remade in India.

I guess this would be the sequel. First let us name the character of our hero. I mean the role of the police officer called “Jack”, played by Keanu Reeves. In Indian movies, the character of any hero will be named as “Raj” if it is a hindi film and if at all it is a tamil film I cannot think beyond the name called “Siva”. Since I am an Indian first and then a tamilian, I would like to stick with the former.

Raj has an unfinished business with a villain, better known as Gabbar Singh, who is an expert in planting of novel bombs. Gabbar earlier invested himself for two years in a project of planting bomb in an elevator only to claim a ransom from the government but he was made to bite the dust by Raj who, single handedly, came and rescued all the commuters trapped in it.

Now it is payback time for Gabbar. In one fine morning, Raj hears a huge blast on the road side and finds that an empty bus, just started from the terminus, with only a driver in it, is bombed and reduced to ashes. Immediately, he hears a telephone ringing from a booth nearby and he goes and picks up the call. He hears from Gabbar that he has planted a similar bomb on one of the buses which is 100 Kms away from where Raj is right now. The stipulation is none of the passengers in the bus Is allowed to get out of the bus. The bus has a bomb which gets activated once the bus crosses 80 Kms in speed and if it drops in speed below 80 then the bus will blow off.

Hearing this, Raj’s eyes get reddened and he bites his teeth, the noise emanating from which is found winning with more decibels than the blast which just took place in a bus. Then a song goes on the background for five minutes narrating the incomparable energy of the hero. Once the song is over, he starts to run. He is not using any bike or car. He just runs ten times faster than, say, Ussain Bolt, only to chase the bus and empty it before the bomb gets activated. Infact, he might have done so. But, the villain, anticipating the might of the hero, sends 100 hitmen to have him stopped mid way before he does rescue the passengers in the bus.

All these hitmen carry knifes and hockey sticks with them but Raj has only a small pistol with him. But, he chooses not to use it. Instead he uses his hands and legs as weapons and thrashes them all in just ten minutes time. Then again he goes after the bus. He is running so fast that the same bus which was once 100 Kms away from him is just a stone throw nearer to him now. He assesses the speed of the bus by comparing with the swiftness which he has in his running and finds to his dismay that the bus has already crossed 80 Kms and the bomb is activated. So, now he needs to get into the bus to do something. Guess what, he collides himself into the door of the bus with so much of power that if flows and hits the driver, leaving the latter unconscious.

Raj enters the bus and announces to all that there is a bomb on the bus. Seeing his heroics, a cute girl inside the bus falls in love with the hero. Then our hero forgets everything. Both of them go to an entirely a different world to sing a duet. Once the duet is over, the hero realizes his responsibilities. He becomes the driver himself. As a true hero of any Indian film, he knows swimming, horse riding, knows to drive everything that runs on roads, knows even to drive train. Even he can fly an aeroplane, can anchor a ship and so on he has innumerable capabilities. He keeps the speed over 80 Kms all the time and suddenly he found in another 100 m there is going to be gap of 100 feet long. He is in a catch 22 situation. On one hand, he cannot stop the bus and on the other hand there is a gap which cannot be avoided. 

He switches gears and increases the pace in such a manner that as soon as the bus encounters the gap it flies and flies and flies and it nearly catches a jet plane flying in the sky. Once when the bus lands on the road again the force is so much that the heroine who is seated at the back of the bus inadvertently flows and splashes herself on our hero, who is now the make shift driver. Now, the impact of the clash of the heroine with Raj is so magnetic that both again go in their own dreamland and sing the second duet of the film. This five minutes long song is picturised across the world.

He then, gets permission from Gabbar and goes out of the bus. The bus, however, with the super heroic powers of Raj, continues to run without a driver. Raj is only a cop and he has no knowledge on the diffusing of bombs and all. But, he chooses to take this risk. He comes in a motor bike with an incredible speed in front of the bus and slides himself with the bike and goes under the bus and with the help of his instinct he cuts the correct wires and diffuses the bomb in no time. Then he punches the bottom of the bus with his hand and the bus gets a new opening under it from which the hero enters the bus and says the bomb is diffused and all of the commuters are safe.

Then, every passengers begin to heap praise on him and sing a song on him thanking him for rescuing all of them from by doing blinder of heroics. 

Raj then gets an award from President of India for the bravery that he showed in protecting all the passengers from the near death situation. He marries the girl with whom he has sung two duets in his dream world and there ends the film.

I think this is the best sequel I could think of when we can try copying a Hollywood film. Hope you all have enjoyed it.

Oops, for all those who wants to know what happened to Gabbar. Here it is, he sees all these heroics of Raj on Tv and commits suicide.
