Taxi No. 9 2 11: Nau Do Gyarah

A businessman and a taxi-driver go crazy plotting against each other. They play a game where they both loose and loose all that they had. However, the end was very touching and the best part was that the movie has some message to convey.The screenplay and the direction was good.I felt that the taxi driver's role couldn't have been performed better . Nana Patekar,as always , was brilliant. The director managed to maintain the tempo ensuring that his audience will not get uninterested at any point of the movie. John Abraham was best suited for the role of an adamant young man( no offense intended).I would like to conclude saying that " A lot can happen in a man's life in just one single day". This movie is a must-watch.

Actors - Nana Patekar is the best, although John Abraham and Sameera Reddy have also started to learn. Nana's dialogue delivery is superb. John Abraham has been, finally, given a role he would match. Sameera Reddy, Kurush Deboo, and Shivaji Satam have strong roles.

Story - The story is well written, but the screenplay could have been better. For those who haven't seen the film, go take a look, and expect a few twists in the storyline.

Music - The music is pretty good. Look out for Bappi Lahiri's Song Bambayi Nagariya, Adnan Sami's Meter Down, and Aazmaale Aazmaale, probably from K.K.. Don't miss the music video of Meter Down.

It heartens me to see such movies coming out of bollywood. The movie runs for about 2 hours and never is a drag. I would not want to delve into the story too far... I think this is one of those movies which must be seen.

The movie is all about a day when John hires Nana's taxi and the things start going wrong ... The movie is to the point and does not have any unnecessary songs/scenes (masala). The comedy is superb and the movie itself is quite a thriller.

All characters have played their roles well.. Nana delivers another great performance. Milan luthra shines as the director.

We need more of these kind of movies from Bollywood.

They remade Hollywood hits, copying it frame to frame, then they started to somehow make a remake that's better than original, and now the Bollywood has come of age and unleashing the latent talent with some original stuff. Taxi No. 9211 is a case in the point. From a refreshing concept, to superb acting, to pacy direction to some good music... everything turns out to be just in place to make it one of the most enjoyable films of recent times.

It's a day's journey of two typical characters who do it all, from running after each other's life to blowing the birthday candles together, from getting in some of the biggest troubles of their lives to coming out of most of the troubles they were nurturing all through, all in one single day.

Nana Patekar is as natural as ever and John is showing great improvement in every film. Milin Lutharia is also meeting the promise he showed in his previous directorial ventures (Kachche Dhaage and Deewar)

I am unable to find even a single reason why you should not watch this one. Go and have some good time.

This film opened my eyes to Bollywood films, it is simply superb especially Nana Patekar an unknown actor to me up till this point, who suddenly entered my top five list of male actors. The original: Changing Lanes is not a poor film either compared to what usually get out of Hollywood, but this Bollywood adaptation of the story runs rings around it with ease. Thanks to superb acting and some subtle changes to the manuscript of the original story Taxi 9211 becomes a more intense and engaging film. It should perhaps be told that it is, perhaps somewhat unusual for a Bollywood film for though there is a brief song and dance routine at the very beginning of the film as in most Bollywood films the director has gone out of his way to hide it and integrate it into the film so that it blends in without being disruptive and without it leaving the stamp of Bollywood on it, the film itself has more in common with French cinema than Indian.
