When you walk into a multiplex and are informed that there is no other person in the auditorium other than you, there are no reasons to be elated. It only turns out to be a repeat situation of many a film released during last couple of months when you watched a film all by yourself in a theatre which was on the verge of cancelling the show until you flashed your card of being a film reviewer.

So what is it that works for 'CHASE'? Well, a few well executed action sequences, a couple of twists and presence of two hot bods (Udita Goswami, Tarina Patel) that should engage audiences, especially at single screens in B and C centres.

How do the stunts work? Well, after a 'Dhoom' inspired opening credit roll sequence comes a chase sequence which involves a perceived criminal being pursued by cops on busy Mumbai streets. Frankly, these 15 odd minutes do keep you hooked to screen as the protagonist does everything from manoeuvring his bike dangerously and indulging in parkour. The sequence which follows in a 'jungle' is hardly enticing though but then the climax action sequence is still reasonably engaging.

In the interim there are Udita Goswami and Tarina Patel who are captured from all flattering angles, hence ensuring that the oomph factor continues to be on screen alternatively. If Udita, due to the demand of the role (well!), plays her mini skirted nurse part well and indulges in sensual tricks to arouse (knowingly or unknowingly) a patient (Anuuj) of hers from coma, Tarina wears some of the most revealing costumes that any fellow journalist could have ever worn.

Does that mean that 'CHASE' is only about bikes and babes? Not really because at the core of it, there is an element of uncertainty about the lead protagonist when it comes to his real status - whether he is innocent of guilty. This is the plot line which could have been really nurtured well to get an ideal mix of thrills, drama and suspense but unfortunately the twist in the tale is totally lame.
