Dr. Cabbie (2014)
a barrel of laughs
This has got to be undoubtedly one of the funniest movies i have seen! its heartening to see the recent trend of blending the best elements of India and its fascinating cultural quirks with the mainstream west. its truly reflective of current times where you do have this "melting pot", "global village" where it is common for a Starbucks to sell a Chai latte or your local rec centre to offer yoga classes. Think Slumdog Millionaire, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Million Dollar Arm, Hundred Foot Journey and now Dr. Cabbie! The one thing that sets this film apart from the others in the list is its unapologetic portrayal of Toronto as Toronto one of the finest if not the finest cities in the world. That and its absolutely rip roaring humour which kept the whole theatre in splits makes this a sure fire winner. Vinay Virmani the lead actor is so convincing as a sincere medical grad from Delhi, his co-star Kunal Nayyar(Raj from The Big Bang Theory) is superbly funny as an oversexed cabbie, the leading ladies Adrianne Palicki and Isabelle Kaif are HOT HOT HOT and light up the screen with their presence. Lillte Dubey is outstanding as usual and Rizwan Manji and Mircea Monroe provide the best support to the central characters as the hammy, horny and hilarious uncle and aunt. The production value, cinematography and tight script along with some great music make me wanna ride this cab anytime
