Call Taxi

About This Movie

So, 'Call Taxi' takes you into the bustling streets of Chennai, where Santhosh, the titular call taxi driver, finds himself entangled in both love and danger. The chemistry between him and Ashwini, an advocate who frequently rides in his cab, is palpable, and there’s something about their relationship that feels genuine amidst the chaos of their world. The film's pacing does a decent job of balancing romance with the underlying tension from the gang of cab driver murders. It's got a gritty realism that keeps you on edge but doesn’t shy away from the softer moments between the leads. The performances feel grounded, which adds to the film's distinct atmosphere, making it a noteworthy piece in the indie scene, even if details like the director and genres are a bit of a mystery.

This film, while not widely circulated, appeals to collectors interested in contemporary Indian cinema capturing urban narratives. Its rarity stems from the lack of recognition for the director and the film’s indie origins, making it a bit of a hidden gem. There aren’t many copies out there, so for those intrigued by character-driven stories set against a backdrop of social issues, 'Call Taxi' could be an interesting find.
