Well, well, well... Bollywood is growing up. With Lagaan it grew 3 yrs old... with Swades it grew 4 yrs old... 5 with RDB and... Happy birthday Bollywood... It just turned 6.
Taxi No 9 2 11 rocks and how! Treading into a totally unconventional and new territory, 9 2 11 transports us into Bombay... the way it is. It starts straightway... to the point... with the introduction of its two hotheaded protagonists coming from two diametrically opposite stratas of the society.
Raghav Shastri(Nana Patekar) is a hot headed cab driver who feels the entire world is against him. He has changed 23 jobs and is lying to his wife by saying that he is an insurance agent. Jai Mittal (John Abraham) is another hot-headed multi millionaire who wants to claim his dad's riches.
What happens when their paths collide? That forms the crux of TAXI NO 9211.
Giving out anymore of the story would be unfair to the makers and you people as well. All i can say that 9 2 11 is a well made film. It is one of the most fulfilling commercial cinema experiences i have had in recent times.
Nana Patekar is awesomely brilliant. John Abraham surprised me with a stellar performance. Sonali Kulkarni as Nana's wife is competant. Sameera Reddy is wooden.
The script by Rajat Arora is decent. He writes some brilliant dialogues but falters in the screenplay. Music by Vishal Shekhar is average. Editing is crisp. Director Milan Luthria impresses with an amazing command over the medium.
TAXI NO 9 2 11 is not pathbreaking. But it is pathbreakingly different. And it is full on time pass.
Highly Recommended!
