Speed Track is a 2007 Indian Malayalam-language sports film directed by S. L. Puram Jayasurya, starring Dileep, Gajala, Riyaz Khan, and Madhu Warrier in the lead roles. The film marks the debut of Gajala in Malayalam cinema.[1][2][3]
Plot[edit]
The movie begins with the selection of new students in BCM College which is famous for sports and athletics. Arjun is a young athlete all set to create history with his speed and spirit. He is going through tough times, mentally and financially following his father's demise. His family badly needs him to keep them going. Arjun joins BCM College for the new academic year, but has some specific tasks and targets on behalf of joining the college.
Everyone on the campus except Tinu, who was the unchallenged hero hailing from a bigger family, welcomed Arjun's talents as he beat Tinu's record in the high jump.
Arjun who makes consistent performances on the track puts Tinu in the back seat and becomes the heartthrob of many within a short time. These defeats were more than something Tinu could handle. He starts to take it on Arjun on a very personal level apart from sporting spirits. This leads to nasty street fights between the two, resulting in the principal calling both of them for talks. The principal challenges them to take it on the field rather than going at each other. Both prepare to settle the score in the big race that follows. In the end, Anil, Arjun's brother, who is unable to walk, is seen playing basketball.
