What's it about: Last week at the press show of Apartment, Jag Mundra washed his hands off Chase. "I am not responsible for that film", he told us.
That being the encouraging words of the director, watching Chase is no ordinary feat. It requires oodles of patience and stamina to endure insanity and ear plugs to prevent the noise destroying your grey cells.
The story of a man being chased as a murder suspect and his struggle to prove his innocence (while being comatose!) makes up for what should have been a storyline.
What's hot: If you love badly choreographed bike chases and action scenes that seem right out of the '80s, welcome aboard!

What's not: Chase is doomed from the opening sequence that promises you an action film, but delivers anything but.
The plot changes and twists are so random and illogical that the writers seem to have gone in a coma while coming up with new ideas.
The direction and treatment is weak and poor. Production values are so shoddy that Anuuj Saxena looked much better on the small screen than wearing leather pants and riding bikes.
Udita's seduction number with Anuuj is hilarious. The biggest collateral damage of the film is Shammi Kapoor's son Aditya who makes an unfortunate debut in this film. Wonder if his forefathers are rolling in their graves.
What to do: A definite miss, Chase has everything to chase you away from theatres.
