yasachandra There is simply no buildup of any character or situation. The entire movie is like watching a huge trailer. The basic story and plot is good but a lot of overacting by Kunal and unrealistic scenarios are all just too much to absorb. I didn't expect this, given the popularity this movie has gained. I couldn't even stand it for an hour. So in my opinion, don't watch it, you'll only waste your time.

gocole10 "It's not just another movie of a billionaire's son seeking publicity, Vinay Virmani is a natural. The movie clearly addresses the issues and obstacles faced by a foreign immigrant who arrives at Canada with dreams and hope of serving the community. Although I felt that the movie had a bit of Bollywood style and unwanted humor, it didn't affect the message the movie intended to deliver to the audience. Certain scenes makes great sense to the newly landed immigrants like me to see the cultural differences, realities of sustaining in a foreign nation and practices that are not a part of our home culture.Kunal and Palicki's character added flavor to the movie, but entire credit goes to Vinay for the role of Dr.Deepak @ Dr.Cabbie."

Sumeet Sahni 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.

chaitov I am still "high" on this film having gone this afternoon,even after doubting it would be very good.Wow,was I pleasantly surprised.I absolutely loved it.From the first great,cinematic shots in India to Deepak's arrival in Toronto with his mom,I was utterly mesmerized.The casting is spot on,in my opinion,from his westernized uncle,and flaky but likable caucasian wife,to Tony(The Big Bang Theory)his cabbie friend,and the rest of the great cast.There was no overacting and all the situations were very believable. I laughed heartily,then,had tears in my eyes at certain truisms re immigrant professionals who are forced to drive cabs to make a living. This is a true tragicomedy. The script was wonderful and to the point,as was the plot.But for myself,being a Torontonian,how wonderful to finally portray Toronto as Toronto.It's about time. And what wonderful cinematography of the city. The shots showed the fantastic city T.O. really is,especially stunning ones of the CN tower at night.Also,throughout the movie the music was appropriate and wonderful,partly Bollywood,Italian,etc.which added to the Joie de vivre of this exceptionally funny film.I didn't want the short Bollywood dancing scene to end at Deepak's birthday party. So,if you want 101 minutes of pure escapism and entertainment,without CGI effects,far fetched ideas,or silly,gross comedy(like"Bad Grandpa")but just a realistic type story,run,don't walk to "Dr.Cabbie." I promise,you won't be disappointed.The director,Jean Francois Pouliot should be applauded for this memorable,fun film.
