Dr. Cabbie was an interesting movie that combined elements of Bollywood and Hollywood, swinging the audience in a number of exaggerated plot twists. I prefer my romance comedies to be a little more believable and could not help but be distracted by a few details such as voice- overs that were obviously dubbed in and Deepak somehow being given Timberlands to wear in jail. Overall though, the storyline was well thought out, the characters were a riot and the acting was strong throughout. Not a bad watch if you are looking for an easy laugh and an unrealistic plot line.Dr. Cabbie was an interesting movie that combined elements of Bollywood and Hollywood, swinging the audience in a number of exaggerated plot twists.

Rating: 3.5/5 The center of this story line can win the heart of the audience no matter what part of the world they are from. The movie is a very nice try to project a major issue in Canadian society. Values (of a job) always come above anything else for a person.Strength of this message could have made this an outstanding movie .Acting of central character was average, but as a simple sober guy it suited well. A switch of mood from suicide to birthday party to jail was too sudden. Audience love a smooth story build up which was totally shadowed by overacting funny character of Dr. Cabbie's friend and family.

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.

It's good to laugh out loud and Dr. Cabbie made sure I did just that. This movie documents the struggle of one Dr. Deepak Chopra, (not the famous one), which is not unlike that of many qualified immigrants who come to Canada. Now sure there are moments of pathos and angst where you really feel for the protagonist (Vinay Virmani, who we last saw in Breakaway), but the overall tone of the movie is cheerful and uplifting. And did I say funny? Yes I did and I'll say it again because there's plenty to chuckle about. The laughs are provided mainly by the support cast of Tony (Kunal Nayar aka Raj of Big Bang Theory), Lillette Dubey from First Exotic Marigold Hotel who plays Virmani's mother, and the talented duo of Mircea Monroe and Rizwan Manji. Virmani shines as he goes about his role of the quietly hurting young man who's forced to drive a cab even though he holds a medical degree. Clearly this is an actor to watch out for. Female romantic lead Adrianne Palicki (soon to be seen opposite Canadian Keanu Reeves in John Wick) has the look of someone who was made for Hollywood stardom. Kunal Nayyar seems to enjoy taking a break from playing the socially awkward, diffident Raj as he lets loose while playing Tony in his movie debut. So kick back that seat, settle in with your popcorn and get ready for a rollicking ride!
