Taxi No. 9211

Rating: 8/10

Taxi no. 9211 lives up to your expectation. It’s a bit surrealistic at times, where on earth, sorry Mumbai would you find such idiosyncratic taxi drivers? Its one of those roles for which you just can't think of anybody else but Nana Patekar. That John Abraham can improve so much in a comic role after his performance in Garam Masala is commendable. Sameera Reddy needs to slim down a bit; otherwise she would just be another passenger. The movie is about two people who have nothing much in common except their misfortunes and their stubborn I-will-get-you nature. Their fate crosses one morning and results in this super thrilling day which would change their lives forever. The pace of the movie is fast and fun filled, and definitely worth a second viewing. I have heard it’s a remake of ‘Changing Lanes’ but haven’t seen it myself.
Sonali kulkarni as Nana’s wife has done well. Sanjay Dutt’s prologue at the beginning of the movie is very apt especially the casual bambaiya accent he can put on so well.

Verdict: Not to be missed, if possible watch it tonight!
