- After being fired from 23 jobs in 15 years, Andheri-resident, Raghav Shastri, takes a loan from Tiwari and operates a taxi, but tells his Chawl-residing wife, Sunita and school-going son, Rishabh, that he works with an insurance company. At night he parks his cab 2 kilometers away from his residence, dresses up in a formal shirt and tie, and walks home. Grumpy, alcoholic and cranky, one day he has a run-in with an impatient, arrogant and wealthy passenger, Jai Mittal, contesting a widely publicized last will and testament of his late father, Shyam. Jai pressurizes Raghav to speed-up, resulting in a collision and subsequent arrest of Raghav by a Havaldar from Khar Police Station. He retains a vault key belonging to Jai which he refuses to return, and is held in a cell. While being transferred to Andheri Police Station, he manages to escape, and returns home - only to find that Jai has informed Sunita about his being a lowly taxi-driver. As Sunita and Rishabh prepare to depart for Nasik, he decides to teach Jai and his sweetheart, Rupali, a lesson that will end up changing their lives forever.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
- Taxi No. 9 2 11 focuses on Raghav Shastri (Nana Patekar), a cab driver in Mumbai who lies to his wife Sunita (Sonali Kulkarni) about his job (he has lost 23 jobs in 15 yrs because of his bad temper), pretending to be an insurance salesman. Raghav owes 3 months of taxi rent (Rs 30,600) to Tiwari (Shankar Sachdev).. One day, he gives Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the spoiled son of a late businessman, a ride. Jai is fighting for ownership rights of his late father's estate. The cab gets into an accident (Jai paid Raghav a lot of money to drive fast, since he was late for court) with Jai escaping as he's in hurry (and leaves Raghav to deal with the angry mob). Jai loses the key to the vault containing his father's will in the back of Raghav's taxi. Shyam Mittal (Akash Khurana), Jai Mittal's father was sick of Jai's casual attitude towards life. When Shyam died, Jai finds that Shyam left everything to his friend Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam).. Jai had a court case that day and he was heading to the bank vault to fetch the will on his way to the court. His own car was wrecked in an accident the night before and hence he was cabbing it.
Jai realizes that he the lost the key, when he gets to the vault. Jai returns to the accident site only to find that the police has arrested Raghav. Jai goes to the police station to demand his key back. Raghav decides to hide it from Jai. Jai is clueless and visits the vault again to get help.. Meanwhile Raghav is being transferred to another station and he encounters his wife on the way. Before she can see him, Raghav escapes from police custody. Jai returns to the station, frustrated, as the vault people wont do anything without the key.. He takes Raghav's address from the Inspector. In retaliation, Jai goes to Raghav's house and tells his wife what he really does for a living. Its 2 pm and Jai is already late for court. Sunita leaves Raghav, taking their son. Raghav decides to take revenge. Raghav and Jai vow to kill each other in their fight for their properties.
When Raghav fails to kill Jai (He removes the nuts from Rupali's car tires, which she had lent Jai to try and find the vault key. Jai is stranded on the highway when the wheel comes off and narrowly misses an oncoming truck that plows into Rupali's car) he targets Jai's girlfriend, Rupali (Sameera Reddy). Meanwhile Advocate Shivraj Behl (Nasser Abdullah) and Rupali struggle in court to convince the judge that Jai is on his way. The judge gives a final deadline of 11 30 am the next morning to produce this "other" will according to which Shyam left his property to Jai. Jai and Shivraj conspire to send goons after Raghav to recover the key. But Raghav fights them off. Raghav then chases Rupali, when she leaves Jai's apartment, and she is saved by Jai by hair's breadth. Jai lets Rupali escape and he attacks Raghav. They have a dirty car fight but both survive, but Raghav's cab is destroyed by an oncoming train after its gets stuck at a crossing.
Raghav goes to the vault and tricks the staff there to gain access to Jai's vault. He withdraws the will and goes to Jai's place. Jai returns to his apartment at night and discovers the will, torn to pieces and pasted on the wall of his apartment. Jai becomes depressed and lonely after his friends leave him. Rupali dumps him, indicating she wanted him only for his fortune. Jai tries to make a deal with Arjun Bajaj, offering to withdraw the case for half the property. But Arjun refuses as Shyam really wanted Jai to mend himself and make a life without Shyam's wealth. Losing everything that used to be precious, Jai realizes the hard-hitting life and starts respecting his father and his work.
On the other side Raghav is caught again by police (when he goes to deposit the fees for his kids school) and taken to police station where his wife tells him his real character and problem within himself. Soon, he realizes his mistake. Jai, having realized the value of close ones, then bails Raghav out of jail. Raghav insists they have a drink and they go to Jai's house for one. They find out that they share the same birthday. Raghav gives back his will, which he had hidden in the sofa, and says that he had never destroyed it - the torn will on the wall is a fake. Raghav then goes to the railway station to stop his wife and son from leaving him, but arrives a little too late. He goes back home where he sees a birthday cake on the table. He feels that he is hallucinating, but gets a pleasant shock when he sees his wife and son standing there, singing him a birthday song (and finds out that it was Jai who brought them back).
Jai confronts Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam), the friend and custodian of the property of Jai's father, whom he tells that he has realized the value of life and does not want his father's property and takes a leave. Just as he drives out, his car collides with another car driven by a Woman (Priyanka Chopra), though initially both seem to be angry at each, later Jai apologizes and asks for her number, promising to pay for damages. The movie ends as both smile at each other and drive away; indicating a new romantic beginning.
