Taxi No 9211(2006/Hindi)

(4/5)

The rough n tough versus the cute! That is Taxi 9211.

Chapter 1: Raghu Shastri (Nana Patekar)
Raghu is a taxi driver and doesn’t get along well with people. He is cynical, rude and much too straightforward. Nana Patekar steals the show as usual with his stunning performance.

Chapter 2: Jai Mittal (John Abraham)
Jai, spoilt son of a rich industrialist father, lives a life of indulgence. Wine, women and partying are what fill his days. Finally John proves there is more to him than a handsome face.

‘Taxi Number 9211’ tells the story of a day in the life of Raghu and Jai. The day when the above two chapters cross their lines. A day that changes their lives upside down, or rather downside up. A quite an eventful day! With slick editing, songs and overall a colorful and refreshing presentation, director has managed to glue the spectators to their seats. Sonali Kulkarni (Raghu’s wife) and Sameera Reddy (Jai’s gf) also did a pretty good job. A nice Indian adaptation of the Hollywood thriller 'Changing Lanes' (2002) and entirely shot in Mumbai City. I would say, a must see movie!

So what are you? What is your worth if one day you loose all the money you have? Your dear and near love you for the person you are or what you are made up of?
