Taxi Number 9-2-11
Enthused by the upwardly mobile quality of Hindi movies (Zinda, Rang de Basanti, Mixed Doubles), and because I wanted to see good ole Mumbai, I went to see Nana Patekar's Taxi Number 9-2-11 ... not wanting distractions of any kind ... I went alone
It starts off with a cool "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" kinda non-linear narrative ... deftly edited
A few minutes later, I realised that the basic plot was taken from Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck's "Changing Lanes"
Nana Patekar is the Atlas who lifts the movie on his shoulders ... and the plot was sufficiently original to be entertaining even for those who have seen the inspiration
It's funny and black at the same time and Nana is a 'life give-up hai' kinda person who suffers from a happy ending courtesy John Abraham at the end ...
Oh yeah ... and for those who didnt notice ... the locker number 1129 is the palindrome of 9211 ...
Go get up and see it ...
