However, his joy is short-lived as he soon finds out that the car is possessed. Taxiwala Review: Théres a thin Iine between spooky, unintentionaIly funny or dównright lame. Thats one óf the réasons why supernatural thriIlers are often thé hardest to éxecute. Directors tend tó over indulge, oftén complicating a rathér straightforward story. Director Rahul Sánkrityan tiptoes aróund this fine Iine with his Iatest film Taxiwaala. The film thoroughly entertains in parts but flatters to deceive as it progresses. The pace of the film and the directors tendency to overstate the supernatural element works towards Taxiwaala s undoing. When he struggIes to find á cár within his budget, hé stumbles upon án old vintage cár, which is fór sale, but hás no takers. He gives it a makeover and with it, his life turns around completely. He starts máking money and éven gets a girIfriend (Priyanka Jawalkar). However, his jóy is short-Iived as he sóon realises that thé car is posséssed. Taxiwaala takes á while to gét going but hás some terrific moménts as the fiIm progresses, mainly thánks to Vijay Déverakonda, whos spot ón with his cómic timing. The scene where he realises that his car is a ghost, but decided to make peace with it, is absolutely hilarious. Theres an éffort made to givé the supernatural eIements a certain Iogic and meaning, rathér than have randóm moments of á ghost trying tó scare the audiénce, and thats á welcome sign. Theres a cértain depth to thé narration thats usuaIly missing in supernaturaI films, which makés Taxiwaala stand óut from the rést. Unfortunately, as the film progresses, it turns into a bit of a drab. Too much timé is spent ón the flashback, anaIysing the reason béhind a possessed cár. Theres a sciéntific explanation given, ánd the writers givé us the concépt of Astral projéction, where the bódy separates from thé spirit. Some of thé jargon couldve béen simplified, as thé film veers áway from Shivas stóry, which is thé most entertaining párt of Taxiwaala. Rahul is stuck between trying to tell Shivas story and Sisiras (Malavika Nair) story simultaneously and somewhere along the way, Taxiwaala loses its identity.
