If you have seen 'Taxi No 9211', then there is absolutely no need to see 'Game', better save your time and money. It's an official copy of the original with a few changes here and there. Compared to the original, the copy is so poor in standard that you get a strong urge to ask the makers of the movie that why they couldn't think something better.


The only refreshing thing about ''Game'' is the acting of Shobhna who works in much selected projects these days. An actress and a danseuse par excellence, she acts well as the wife of the fiery driver Mohan Babu. But Mohan Babu can hardly match Nana Patekar's intensity. Despite superb dialog delivery, Mohan Babu is just a shadow of Nana Patekar. Ditto for Vishnubhardan. His acting is good and he conveys a lot through his eyes. But then again he doesn't have the charisma of a John Abraham.


If you haven't seen 'Taxi No 9211', then probably you will get relief from the fact that this movie has a unique story. Unlike the typical movies of the present day 'Game' treats you to the clash of two distinct personalities.


One, a middle aged cabbie with a short fuse roaming the roads of Hyderabad and the other with a business empire to be inherited, meet on a fateful day. The later asking the former to take him to a court where there is an important appointment that could make him the owner of a business empire left behind by his father.


The time is less and the distance needed to be covered is more and given the traffic of Hyderabad, the cab in question here gets in to trouble. This pitches the cabbie driver and the passenger against each other and the battle starts. That's the essence of Game.


Parvathi Melton hardly has anything to do in the movie except looking glamorous. Sunil's comedy as a bank manager is good and so is Raghu Babu's comedy.


The review of the movie in a single line would be - it's a creative movie but alas it's not original. Sounds pathetic, that's what the movie is if you have watched the original. Watch the fake if you have missed the real.
