Rahman; Rating I dont remember when I last saw a movie that had a story to tell and a message to give -- and did so in a real, gritty manner without being either preachy or dreary.

Film: "Taxi No 9211"; Cast: Nana Patekar, John Abraham, Sonali Kulkarni, Sameera Reddy; Director: Milan Luthria; Rating: 1/2It looks like Bollywood is willing to take a leap forward without the fear of a fall.
