SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
SnoopyStyle Deepak Veer Chopra (Vinay Virmani) is an eager new doctor in Delhi, India hoping to follow in his late father's footsteps. He emigrates to Toronto with his mother where his accreditation is not recognized. Her brother Vijay and his wife Rani are their sponsors. He befriends cabbie Tony (Kunal Nayyar) and becomes a cabbie himself. He starts treating many of his fares. He falls for coffee girl Natalie Wilman (Adrianne Palicki) and delivers her baby in his cab. Her playboy baby daddy Colin (Chris Diamantopoulos) is running to be mayor.This is perfectly nice with really broad humor. It's a little too broad at times and a little too serious at other times. Vinay is a perfectly nice new actor. There are a few recognizable faces in the cast. This is all perfectly nice but it won't break through in America. First, the lead is a nobody. Second, it takes place in Toronto. Neither of which excites an audience. This may be a nice film but nothing exceptional.
sonu 007 Dr. Cabbie is a MUST watch as it addresses a serious issue in the light of comedy. Much credit goes to Vinay Virmani, the lead actor. The movie showed the protagonist's failed attempts to get the residency at hospitals, and eventually ended up as a generous and empathetic cab driver doctor. His nature towards human is what endears him to an audience. Certain scenes in the movie very much relates to newly landed immigrants.The oath-reciting scene at climax stays with you long after you leave the theatre. Overall, It was a joy ride that reinforced the belief, "Everything will be all right in the end...if it's not all right then it's not yet the end".
At Last This film has a predictable plot and the stereotypes are all alive and well here: Indian, white, Italian, the Canadian medical system, and, oh yes, let's all laugh at the fat girl who seeks love. There are a few laughs but not enough of them. The pluses? Vinay Virmani's 'Deepak Chopra' is likable and charming. Kunal Nayyar has some good moments as Tony, a fellow cabbie. The love interest Adrianne Palicki is, well, tall. The rest of the cast seems a bit overwrought although Mircea Monroe has one of the few genuinely funny turns as Deepak's Ghandi-spouting, exotic dancing, yoga-infused white 'auntie'. The film includes some Bollywood-style music sequences. And his fans may be surprised that Kunal Nayyar is a pretty good rapper. But the few funny moments in this film can't carry the rest of the cliché fest.
Sumeet Sahni This was a train wreck, no wait, a cab wreck waiting to happen. Vinay Virmani just gets worse and worse with every movie he does. He obviously can't act since his dad Ajay Virmani finances every movie his son is in. This same so-called actor was horrendous in Breakaway which should have been a straight to VHS movie but went on Netflix and now Dr.Cabbie will stray on the same path.Story line: sure its great to watch a light hearted comedy movie, but when the actor is horrible it just becomes a mockery to the actor. Kunal Nayyar from Big Bang obviously can act and does a good job. It seems like the financier (Viramni) put his money into the acting rate of Nayyar and paying Salman Khan to put his production/Being Human organization with this movie. Final thought, watch it to laugh at a horrible put movie. Vinay Virmani should stay away from a camera and a pen so that he doesn't think he can write another movie. Oh, Lily Singh is amazing shes gorgeous and just has a fantastic presence for a younger gen.
