Of course, a Hindi film is incomplete without the mandatory song and dance routine and TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR has that as well, with the new pair handling those portions effortlessly.ĭirectors Abbas-Mustan have handled a few sequences with aplomb. Now this aspect may seem far-fetched to those who choose not to believe in such cinema. 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. For the 8 long years the Taarzan wasn’t in the news, today all that I found is this abandoned picture of ‘Taarzan – The Wonder Car’.But, of course, a concept like TAARZAN THE WONDER CAR is alien for Indian moviegoers. 35 lakh for 15 year old vehicle, again we aren’t sure if it has found any buyers. And later in 2006, the Taarzan was again-up for sale in ebay asking a price of Rs. We are not sure, if DC design has managed to sell it or not. It was second model based on the MR2 platform and was out for sale at a whooping cost of Rs. It took the team eight months to design and produce Taarzan. The car was back on DC’s drawing board, and re-designed start from scratch. The Infidel formed the basis for a slightly more exaggerated creation of the same car in 2004, the Taarzan. For me, even today DC Infidel looks like a thoroughbred sportscar and is one of DC’s best creations. This car was first re-modelled and showcased at the 2002 Auto Expo in New Delhi, in the form of the DC Infidel showcasing DC’s design capabilities to the Europeans especially. The car was based on a Toyota MR2 (1991 model) with a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout and a full cab-forward design. India’s own automotive design house, DC Design had first unveiled ‘Taarzan – The Wonder Car’ on 15 th July, 2004 a month ahead of movie release.
