Audiences have already witnessed movies based on cars as central characters in Hollywood.

But in Bollywood, the theme of Taarzan - The Wonder Car is unique because the car has never been used as the focal point.

The director has portrayed the car as having emotions similar to human beings. The film is a thriller where the revenge seeker is not a man but a car.

We can accept the fact that a car behaves like a human but to learn that it has a soul is just absurd.

The story unzips with Raj (Vatsal Sheth), the son of Devesh (Ajay Devgan), a car designer. Devesh designs a sophisticated car, much ahead of its time.

To launch it, he attends a meeting with a car manufacturer. But the four partners (Pankaj Dheer, Sadashiv Amarpurkar, Shakti Kapoor and Mukesh Tiwari) disagree with him on certain issues.

Soon they use their devious schemes to reproduce Devesh's invention. When Devesh gets to know about this, he threatens to take the car company to court.

Sensing danger, the four culprits decide to kill him. They throw his body in the water along with his car giving the impression that he died in an accident.

The film then focuses on Devesh's son, Raj. He now works in a garage owned by Kartar Singh (Amrish Puri).

In a junkyard, Raj finds his father's car and passionately decides to transform it into an sophisticated machine which can think for itself.

The story takes an interesting turn by focusing on this wonder car, which starts its revenge spree. It starts killing the evil partners one by one.

The script of this film is indeed new for Hindi cinema. Some scenes are unbelievable, especially the one where the car repairs itself and fights like a man.

It's difficult for the audience to digest these sequences because they appear fake.

Having said this, directors Abbas and Mustan have handled the direction with brilliance.

Some sequences have been superbly portrayed such as the underwater scene towards the end and the emotional sequence between Devesh and his family members. Sure to bring tears to your eyes.

Cinematography is of the highest standard and deserves distinction marks.

Himesh Reshammiya emerges with his trademark soft-romantic music, which soothes the ears. "O Sajan" and the "Title track" are the main highlights of the album.

Debutante Vatsal Sheth does wonderfully well with acting and dancing but he looks much too thin, he surely needs to gain some muscle like all of today's Bollywood heroes.

Gorgeous Ayesha Takia does not have a meaty role to play but displays herself as a confident actress.

Ajay Devgan in a brief role impresses. Amrish Puri as usual acts brilliantly. Farida Jalal delivers a good performance.

Gulshan Grover is okay. Amongst the villains, Shakti Kapoor fails to register an impact whereas the others justify their characters well.

On the whole, Tarzan - The Wonder Car is a stylishly and creatively executed enterprise, which will have you glued to your seat till the end. A great entertainer overall.
