      Taxiwaala Review

      Taxiwaala is a supernatural thriller with some comedy. It is also kind of scary. I like Matte Vinaduga and Ladies and Gentlemen song. Vijay Devarakonda did great. I also like the taxi concept where a passenger seat has spirit in it. There were some frightening scenes and as I watching in theaters I felt unsure if I should watch it or not. The frightening scenes were an experience tho. Rahul Sankrityan has executed the film well. Heroine Priyanka did good but she had limited role but Malavika played significant role tho. I am also fan of Vijay Devarakonda. A supernatural thriller comedy movie well made.

      Plus: Vijay Devarakonda, Rahul's vision, narration, songs, taxi concept, comedy Minus: Overdose of frightening scenes.

      No less to a trendsetter movie.. Epic!!

      Music and background score is backbone of the movie. Hats off to Jake's for beautiful work. And although its a debut Rahul's direction is flawless.

      Vijay as usual rocked in the movie by doing his best to what character demands. As Vijay mentioned in event.. Hollywood role in movie is hilarious..overall, it's a good science fiction movie which Telugu audience has never before experienced.

      In a nutshell, Bottomline is People who are not tired of routine hero centric movies are welcome to hate this movie in a very usual manner

      Started as a thriller, but ended up as a comedy movie

      Watched the trailer of this movie and it looked like a very interesting storyline, in fact first 45 minutes of the movie was very interesting and kept us on the edge of our seats, but next 1.5 hours was easily predictable and disappointing! In spite of that, comedy scenes in the second half were very good and hilarious. Need to give a big thumbs up to Vijay Devarakonda for acting in different genres of movies!

      Fantastic weekend entertainer

      Overall it's a good movie with all the ingredients in required amounts. A very good attempt from vijay. He proves his skill once again. No lag and if u go to movie for the entertainment not just for Vijay, u need to watch this. Not a different story but a good narration involving sci-fi elements, comedy, bit of horror, sentiment and love makes it a complete entertainer.
