Dr. Cabbie is a 2014 Canadian-Indian English-language romantic comedy film directed by Jean-François Pouliot and co-produced by Salman Khan.[4][5] The film stars Kunal Nayyar, Vinay Virmani, and Adrianne Palicki.[6][7] The story revolves around a newly arrived immigrant doctor in Canada who cannot get a job and is forced to become a taxi driver. He becomes a local hero when he converts his taxi into a mobile medical clinic.[8][9][10] The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray from 23 December 2014.
Deepak Veer Chopra is an Indian doctor who immigrates to Canada in the hope of starting a new life, but bureaucracy confines him to live as a taxi driver. After delivering a baby in his cab, he starts treating other passengers and practising medicine illegally, even though he has a medical degree and he is certified. He also falls in love with Natalie Wilman, the woman whose baby he delivered and she uses her training as a (non-practising) lawyer to help him achieve his dreams. Natalie names her son Ganesh at Deepak's suggestion. The baby's father is revealed to be Colin, a playboy who is running for election.[11] Evidence found by the Canadian police leads to Deepak being arrested for illegal distribution of drugs. Natalie agrees to give him legal advice. At the trial, his patients defend Deepak furiously. He is found not guilty of the crimes he committed by acting as a taxi driver doctor, but is charged for possessing and distribution of drugs. Natalie, who has fallen in love with Deepak, asks him to marry her. He refuses, then immediately proposes saying that he wants to marry her on his terms. The authorities now take into account Deepak's family members (who in this case consist of a wife and baby), and clear him of all charges and got 500 hours community service prescribing medicine without a license to avoid jail time and deportation. After the trial concludes, Colin is standing near the exit and responsible for Deepak arrest, drunk, and teases Natalie about marrying Deepak. Deepak hits Colin; Natalie asks Colin if he is okay, and then hits him again. Deepak proposes having their honeymoon in India and Natalie agrees, saying that she would love to see the Taj Mahal with him. Two years later, they are still married and Natalie is pregnant with Deepak's baby. Deepak is a full fledge license doctor in Toronto and working in the hospital. Natalie requests to Deepak that this time she prefers to have the baby in the hospital rather than in the cab and may marry the taxi driver. Deepak shares as long as the taxi driver is a doctor!
On release, the film received generally positive responses from critics. Culture plus Blog reviewed with 4 stars and stated:
What a great comedy. Lots of funny stereotyping—dialogue and behaviour that is pure mockery, with great cast that delivers over-the-top fun with some serious consequences. Brilliantly directed by Jean-François Pouliot.[13]
Anokhi Media gave a positive review to the movie and stated: "the movie crafts a new breed of cinema that caters to a multicultural universal audience, definitely one to watch."[14] Binzento blog gave the film 4.5 stars and stated, "recommend this film to those that are in the midst of going through troubling times in life, and need something to up-lift their spirits, and give them the encouragement and hope to over come the challenge."[15]
