It repairs itself, it fights, it reacts, it survives calamities? exactly like a Bollywood hero. For, the car in TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR behaves like a super-hero. If the novel premise of the film is its USP, the very plot is also a downer. Hindi moviegoers have so far witnessed icchadhari snakes /animals or ghosts seeking revenge, but a car taking evil-doers to task is indeed a novel experience. How the wonder car takes the villains to task, eliminating them one by one, forms the crux of the film.Ī storyline like the one in TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR hasn?t been witnessed before. Raj finds a car in a junkyard and takes it upon himself to transform it into a macho machine. Kartar Singh owns a garage where Raj works. Devesh?s family thinks that he has died in an accident. When Devesh threatens to move court, the evil four, with the help of a corrupt police officer, kill him and along with his car, throw him in a lake. But without the knowledge of Devesh, they copy the design of the car and register it in their name. However, the four partners of the company disagree on certain terms and abort the deal. Devesh designs a swanky car, much ahead of its times, and goes to a company to fix a deal. Raj is the son of a car designer, Devesh. However, making the car behave like a human and adding the track of an aatma to the storyline may just look implausible to a section of hardcore Indian moviegoers. In that respect, TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is truly different. Yes, there has been a CHALTI KA NAAM GAADI and a SHATRANJ, but never has a car been projected as a hero. I want to give the film makers a bit of free advice.But, of course, a concept like TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is alien for Indian moviegoers. The tackiness is ridiculous! Better still, here is the so-called link, judge for yourself…Īnd just to finish off, it was announced on the 27 th October 2010 that the makers of the film are making a sequel. One example of this is when they had the car driving on 2 wheels you could see the supports holding the car up under the car. Suspect found!Īnd the cheap special effects are cringe worthy. So how do the cops link the car to the scene of the crime? The car tyre tracks match the ones found at the scene of the crime. Ok, for argument’s sake, let’s agree that there is a possessed car on the loose on a killing spree held bent on revenge. Need I say more?Īnother thing that bothered me was the logic used in the film. Obviously! And this car sets out to kill everyone involved with the ghost’s death. The car is possessed by the ghost of his dead father. Is this some kind of super high-tech car that this boy has made? Things like driving on 2 wheels, jumping in mid-air (like knight rider) or mending itself (like Christine). Turns out that the car can do all kind of stunts and tricks. He recognises the car by its air freshener K So he buys the scrap car and turns it into the car above, naming it Taarzan. You know, one of those “make it look like an accident” kind of jobs.Ībout 20 years or so later, the designer’s son, now grown up, finds this car in a scrap yard. Anyway, he deigns a car, and a group of people steal his design, and kill him in his car. A car designer has this one banger at his house which he calls Tarzan, because there’s a Tarzan air freshener in there. But because the film was soooooo successful, they didn’t bother putting it into production. The film was meant to be a big marketing platform. I’ll let you decide what’s so wonderful about it personally I think it’s just stupid:īy the way, this car was meant to go into production, and is actually called Tarzan. Here’s a picture of Taarzan: The Wonder Car. Who the hell calls their film Taarzan: The Wonder Car? And it’s not even a wonder car, as I shall explain later. I mean, were they just not trying? Out of all the possible names they could have chosen, they went with that. Now, this film is wrong and stupid on so many different levels! It’s difficult to decide where to begin. The name of the film? Well, brace yourselves. It was an Indian film (you gotta love em). I shall never forget it! And to be honest, before I even watched the film, I knew it would be, well, shit. I have only seen this film once when it came out. It was so brilliantly stupid that I decided to dedicate a blog entry just for it. I was browsing YouTube, and I discovered (or should I say rediscovered) a clip of an old film I watched.
