Remember Divi, the girl who won a lot of hearts in Big Boss. Well, she is ready with her first film called Cab Stories which is out on SPARK. Read our review here.
Plot
The film starts with a cab driver giving a ride to two drug peddlers. In some tension, one of the pedlers drops a drug packet in the car. Seeing this, the driver played by Giri takes the packet and puts it in yet another custom played by Divi who takes the ride. From this time, the drug gang follows the driver and Divi. How will Divi escape is the story.
Performances
This is Divi’s first film and she looks good. In one of the songs she was seen, Divi looks hot and also danced quite well. Performances-wise, she has to improve but overall she is decent. Small-time actor, Giri is good as the cunning cab driver. He gets a good role and makes use of it quite well. The rest of the cast ham to no extent and bore the audience.
Analysis
The film is supposed to be a crime thriller and starts quite well. But once the initial story is unleashed, the film gets so boring. The thrill in the film is gone thanks to so horrible execution by the director.
None of the scenes makes sense. The film looks good on paper but scenes wise it has no meaning. So many subplots deviate from the film. There was no need for the love track and also the manner in which the heroine’s friend uses the drugs, all this is so silly.
Just for the sake of comedy, things have been added which do not work. Dhanraj and his cop role are out of place. Also, none of the key cast performs well in their negative roles and this film becomes a mess. In a nutshell, Cab Stories is a film that has no seriousness at all. it suffers from bad writing and bad casting.
Bottom Line – Lacks seriousness
