He needs to work on his physique for sure. He has screen presence, dances well, emotes as required� but only thing, he looks skinny at places. Vatsal Sheth, who makes his bow on the big screen after his television debut a couple of years ago, acts ably. The title track as well as �O Sajan� and �Ooh La La� stand out.
HINDI FILM TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR FULL
Kaushal-Moses deserve full marks for making the most of the opportunity and handling the thrills with dexterity. The thrills in the film, mainly the one in the climax as also those involving Mukesh Tiwari, are amongst the high points of the enterprise.
But TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is devoid of all that. In a revenge saga, where the car does all the killing, you�d expect mutilated bodies, blood and gore. The romantic track has little novelty to offer.Īnother factor that stands out is the car, designed by famed automobile designer Dilip Chhabria, and the thrills that have been executed by action directors Kaushal-Moses. The only time the graph goes down is when the romantic portions take over. An overall stylishly-executed fare, the film entertains at most parts. A few dramatic scenes and the underwater sequence in the climax are simply superb. Of course, a Hindi film is incomplete without the mandatory song and dance routine and TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR has that as well, with the new pair handling those portions effortlessly.ĭirectors Abbas-Mustan have handled a few sequences with aplomb. Now this aspect may seem far-fetched to those who choose not to believe in such cinema. It repairs itself, it fights, it reacts, it survives calamities� exactly like a Bollywood hero. For, the car in TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR behaves like a super-hero. If the novel premise of the film is its USP, the very plot is also a downer.
Hindi moviegoers have so far witnessed icchadhari snakes /animals or ghosts seeking revenge, but a car taking evil-doers to task is indeed a novel experience. How the wonder car takes the villains to task, eliminating them one by one, forms the crux of the film.Ī storyline like the one in TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR hasn�t been witnessed before. Raj finds a car in a junkyard and takes it upon himself to transform it into a macho machine. Kartar Singh owns a garage where Raj works. Devesh�s family thinks that he has died in an accident. When Devesh threatens to move court, the evil four, with the help of a corrupt police officer, kill him and along with his car, throw him in a lake. But without the knowledge of Devesh, they copy the design of the car and register it in their name. However, the four partners of the company disagree on certain terms and abort the deal. Devesh designs a swanky car, much ahead of its times, and goes to a company to fix a deal. Raj is the son of a car designer, Devesh. However, making the car behave like a human and adding the track of an aatma to the storyline may just look implausible to a section of hardcore Indian moviegoers. In that respect, TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is truly different. Yes, there has been a CHALTI KA NAAM GAADI and a SHATRANJ, but never has a car been projected as a hero. At least someone has had the guts to swim against the tide and offer a genuinely hatke fare!īut, of course, a concept like TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is alien for Indian moviegoers. Frankly, the efforts that have gone into the making of TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR need to be lauded.
The car does just about everything that a Hindi film hero would do, including punishing the evil-doers. Except, of course, the revenge seeker in TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is not a man, but a machine. Loosely based on CHRISTINE, TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR falls in the same mould as a revenge film. Films like THE CAR, KILLER CAR, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, KILLDOZER and of course, the unforgettable CHRISTINE, have entertained millions of viewers worldwide. There have been a string of �killer car� movies in Hollywood. But the star and kalakaar of TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is a car, which fights, feels, rejoices� in fact, behaves exactly like a human. Hell hath no fury� like a car scorned! The name TAARZAN is generally associated with the legendary jungle hero.
