''let me take you on the ride my way''. Review on Taxi No 9211

Hello MSians!!!

SOCIETY...who is the society?

You are the society...I am the society...each one of us is the society.If we change for the better,the society can change for the better.

Well people don't be afraid seeing the above statement under a category such as

''ENTERTAINMENT.Views and perspectives differ,perhaps,mine is a coarse perception of the movie TAXI NO.9211 that is why all that blah blah at the top!!!

To tell you frankly I was really glad to see a release that is so much different from the age-old love-triangle funda,though I read in a review at MS itself that the story isn't original and its a lift-off from hollywood.I don't regret this fact about the movie's authenticity,as long as it has been successful enough to deliver a message to the two most prominent sections of the society ::the classes and the masses.

Okiee..just tell me if the majority actually understands the movies of the hollywood?What I mean to say is if a movie is in one's own mother-tongue,having actors of one's own motherland then why would somebody go and rack his/her brains trying to comprehend the American accent!!! I wouldn't.Well,if one desires a comparative study of the two versions,I have nothing to say to them and I leave aside the dubbed versions as well.

Now coming to the movie,I would like to express only what I perceived from it and what impact it had in my grey cells[the countable few that I managed to preserve].

Well,the movie portrays as I mentioned above,the two most prominent sections of the society::the classes::depicted by Nana Patekar as Raghu Shastri and the masses::depicted by John Abraham as Jai Mittal.

*Money speaks!!

This could be concluded from::

#1the difference in the attitude of the police-officer shown towards Raghu Shastri and Jai Mittal.I don't think it is necessary for me to explain the difference because the status barrier among the two was quite apparent in the corresponding scenes for those of you who have watched the movie.

#2Rupali,Jai's girl-friend,ditches Jai when she learns of the fact that Jai is left with nothing to go on in life after his father's will was destroyed and the Bajaj fellow rejected the deal proposed by him.

The rich guys and gurls out there watch out for the intentions of your respective girl-friends and boy-friends.You never know when trust might begin to rust!![just kidding]

And there may be even more of such examples that I fail to recall at the right moment.

*Psychological similarities

Well,there is so much similarity between the psychologies of the classes as well as the masses when the mind is occupied with unnecessary tensions and worries [clinically defined as an empty and depressed mind].

Jai Mittal blamed his father for his condition and Raghu Shastri blamed everyone in the world for his condition.Basically both of them only kept placing blames on others rather than introspecting where the actual problem lies until situations got worse and fate had to play coarse games with them so that they at least realised.

Jai Mittal's pride for ''daddy's big name'' and ''nothing at all'' was realised well enough by him when he had a great fall from his lavish lifestyle to absolute bankruptcy.Raghu Shastri was still adamant on rectifying his views and ideologies but he too turned up to be a man with a conscience when his wife and kid left him.

This is the time when the song ::

Aazmale aazmale..

aazmale...

plays in the background and is definitely my favourite track from the movie.

What I liked most about the plot is how naturally entirely two different categories of people with different backgrounds and upbringings are merged together into a common set of values.
