Heart Condition is a 1990 American fantasy-comedy film starring Bob Hoskins, Denzel Washington and Chloe Webb. It inspired the Malayalam film Aayushkalam which shares a plot device.
Hoskins plays police sergeant Jack Moony, a bigoted cop; and Washington plays Napoleon Stone, an adorable but sleazy ambulance chasing lawyer who Moony hates. Moony's years of bad habits, such as overeating, smoking, and drinking, finally catch up with him. At the same time, Stone is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. After suffering a heart attack, Moony wakes up to find out that his new heart was once Stone's, and the dead lawyer's ghost has become his constant companion. Now, Moony will have to solve Stone's murder.
The movie's reception was largely negative, scoring 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. At the end of its run, the box office total was $4,134,992. Washington was talked into making this movie by his agent. Afterwards, Washington fired him and only starred in one other comedy, The Preacher's Wife (1996), until 2 Guns was released in 2013.
