Run For 9 2 11

If you wish to spend an evening with a good feeling then go and watch Taxi Number 9211.
The film is made with a very casual approach and presented the same old theory of good always wins.
Director Milan Luthria seems to be a highly passionate Mumbayia whose story circumvents the thought and feeling of Mumbaite.
Pulling in two diametrically opposite characters, a cab driver Raghav (Nana Patekar) and a businessman Jay (John Abraham), in terms of social status but share the same mindset, the movie is spinned around the search of a will.
Jay, who is running after a will to get back his share of his departed father’s empire, feels that he had been fooled by his father’s friend to whom the entire empire is favored. In the process of getting the will from the vault and reaching at court in tried time, he hires Raghav’s taxi and tempts him to drive fast which leads to an accident. In the accident Jay loses the key to his vault which redirects the search from the key to Raghav. Raghav on the other hand gets pulled by police for breaking traffic rules and desperately tries to find Jay to prove his innocence.
In all this mayhem Jay & Raghav come across certain truths which change their character completely and finally the movie ends with a happy note where Jay gets back his will and Raghav gets back his family which he was about to lose in the pandemonium.
The cinema has its strengths and weaknesses. Among the strengths the first and foremost one would be the choice of Nana as Raghav and John as Jay. They both fit their respective roles.
Scripts come second in the list. Writing hilarious lines is difficult but you will find an easy flow of such lines and the better part is they come one after the other without any break.
Not much to talk about the direction; however screenplay played a major role from the very beginning, right from the point where audience is getting introduced with the main story line.
Though the film missed the pace, it started with, after the interval but again, the slow pace was a kind of a demand as per the ending.
One of the greatest advantages of the film is less number of songs. Thanks to the entire production crew, they kept the number to 2 and created good groovy music to tap with.
It seems that movies like Taxi Number 9211, Bluffmaster are setting a different trend in Mumbai film Industry, which talks more about everyday event and common man rather some fairy tales, kings, queens and all emotions narratives.
