9/10
Another super performance by Vijay deverkonda..
17 November 2018
Vijay Deverakonda's latest film Taxiwaala is a cross genre movie that has supernatural, science fiction elements mixed into an entertaining story. It is a concept based film with an interesting plot and fairly engaging screenplay.

A jobless youth Shiva (Vijay) buys a vintage car and turns cab driver. But the car turns out to be a haunted one. Why is the car possessed and how can Shiva get rid of it?

Vijay Deverakonda plays a simpleton Shiva who is relatable and lovable too. He carries off the role without any starry attractions despite his rising popularity. Looks like the film was shot much before Geetha Govindam. He looks young and leaner than what he looks now. Priyanka is adequate. Malavika Nair is a fine actress and makes a lasting impression in her brief role. Madhunandan is good in a supporting role. So is the guy who played Hollywood.

Rahul Sankrityan picks up a strong storyline and sticks to its strengths. He makes sure to sprinkle good doses of humor. He has very good command over all crafts of the film and made a quality film on his debut. He handled the emotions well too.
