Engineer Deven Chaudhary (Ajay Devgn) is locked into his car and drowned by a group of businessmen who want to steal his futuristic car designs. Twelve years later, Deven’s son Raj (Vatsal Sheth) happens upon the wreckage of the drowned car and rebuilds it in honour of his father. Somehow (it’s not really explained how), the spirit of Deven takes over the car, enabling it to come to life and embark upon a gruesome campaign of vengeance. In many ways, Taarzan: The Wonder Car is a typical Bollywood film – an earnest hero, a simpering love interest bereft of personality, a group of scowling villains, and a steady supply of song-and-dance numbers. But this film is set apart by being even more insane than the premise already suggests. Visuals of the wonder car include it emerging unscathed from an inferno, shrinking in order to glide underneath a truck, gliding effortlessly on water, and manoeuvring a small straw hut around. Each murder is more vicious and bizarre than the last. By the end, Deven appearing as a shimmering ghost and then ascending to heaven in a beam of light doesn’t seem remotely weird compared to what’s come before. Taarzan: The Wonder Car is utterly ridiculous from start to finish, but it is undoubtedly a fun ride.
