Vikram Bhatt's last film Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee, did not manage to create a storm at the box office, and in an effort at doing just that, he is back with Speed.

On the other hand, music director Pritam has been managing well, basking in the glory of the music of his films.

As soon as the Stomp Mix comes to a close, the non contorted version begins to play. Joy is at the vocals here too, excels,...
