RaghavShastri (Nana Patekar), an Insurance Salesman to the world, but a caustic, instinctively witty cabbie in reality, who needs thirty thousand rupees by the end of today. And Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the equally acidic heir to a resourceful business family, who needs a bit more. Three hundred crores actually. Also by the end of the day. Jai needs to contest his father`s will in court.. and Raghu`s cab to get there. Raghu needs every rich sucker he can get as passenger....So the two meet... And a predictable cab ride kicks off a roller-coaster journey that leaves you laughing in a most unlikely place.. the edge of your seat.. Because on either side of the seat that divides them are our two problems... Two attitudes, two egos, and two distictive brands of humour.

Taxi No. 9 2 11 focuses on Raghav Shastri (Nana Patekar), a cab driver in Mumbai who lies to his wife Sunita (Sonali Kulkarni) about his job (he has lost 23 jobs in 15 yrs because of his bad temper), pretending to be an insurance salesman. Raghav owes 3 months of taxi rent (Rs 30,600) to Tiwari (Shankar Sachdev).. One day, he gives Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the spoiled son of a late businessman, a ride. Jai is fighting for ownership rights of his late father's estate. The cab gets into an accident (Jai paid Raghav a lot of money to drive fast, since he was late for court) with Jai escaping as he's in hurry (and leaves Raghav to deal with the angry mob). Jai loses the key to the vault containing his father's will in the back of Raghav's taxi. Shyam Mittal (Akash Khurana), Jai Mittal's father was sick of Jai's casual attitude towards life. When Shyam died, Jai finds that Shyam left everything to his friend Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam).. Jai had a court case that day and he was heading to the bank vault to fetch the will on his way to the court. His own car was wrecked in an accident the night before and hence he was cabbing it. Jai realizes that he the lost the key, when he gets to the vault. Jai returns to the accident site only to find that the police has arrested Raghav. Jai goes to the police station to demand his key back. Raghav decides to hide it from Jai. Jai is clueless and visits the vault again to get help.. Meanwhile Raghav is being transferred to another station and he encounters his wife on the way. Before she can see him, Raghav escapes from police custody. Jai returns to the station, frustrated, as the vault people wont do anything without the key.. He takes Raghav's address from the Inspector. In retaliation, Jai goes to Raghav's house and tells his wife what he really does for a living. Its 2 pm and Jai is already late for court. Sunita leaves Raghav, taking their son. Raghav decides to take revenge. Raghav and Jai vow to kill each other in their fight for their properties. When Raghav fails to kill Jai (He removes the nuts from Rupali's car tires, which she had lent Jai to try and find the vault key. Jai is stranded on the highway when the wheel comes off and narrowly misses an oncoming truck that plows into Rupali's car) he targets Jai's girlfriend, Rupali (Sameera Reddy). Meanwhile Advocate Shivraj Behl (Nasser Abdullah) and Rupali struggle in court to convince the judge that Jai is on his way. The judge gives a final deadline of 11 30 am the next morning to produce this "other" will according to which Shyam left his property to Jai. Jai and Shivraj conspire to send goons after Raghav to recover the key. But Raghav fights them off. Raghav then chases Rupali, when she leaves Jai's apartment, and she is saved by Jai by hair's breadth. Jai lets Rupali escape and he attacks Raghav. They have a dirty car fight but both survive, but Raghav's cab is destroyed by an oncoming train after its gets stuck at a crossing. Raghav goes to the vault and tricks the staff there to gain access to Jai's vault. He withdraws the will and goes to Jai's place. Jai returns to his apartment at night and discovers the will, torn to pieces and pasted on the wall of his apartment. Jai becomes depressed and lonely after his friends leave him. Rupali dumps him, indicating she wanted him only for his fortune. Jai tries to make a deal with Arjun Bajaj, offering to withdraw the case for half the property. But Arjun refuses as Shyam really wanted Jai to mend himself and make a life without Shyam's wealth. Losing everything that used to be precious, Jai realizes the hard-hitting life and starts respecting his father and his work. On the other side Raghav is caught again by police (when he goes to deposit the fees for his kids school) and taken to police station where his wife tells him his real character and problem within himself. Soon, he realizes his mistake. Jai, having realized the value of close ones, then bails Raghav out of jail. Raghav insists they have a drink and they go to Jai's house for one. They find out that they share the same birthday. Raghav gives back his will, which he had hidden in the sofa, and says that he had never destroyed it - the torn will on the wall is a fake. Raghav then goes to the railway station to stop his wife and son from leaving him, but arrives a little too late. He goes back home where he sees a birthday cake on the table. He feels that he is hallucinating, but gets a pleasant shock when he sees his wife and son standing there, singing him a birthday song (and finds out that it was Jai who brought them back). Jai confronts Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam), the friend and custodian of the property of Jai's father, whom he tells that he has realized the value of life and does not want his father's property and takes a leave. Just as he drives out, his car collides with another car driven by a Woman (Priyanka Chopra), though initially both seem to be angry at each, later Jai apologizes and asks for her number, promising to pay for damages. The movie ends as both smile at each other and drive away; indicating a new romantic beginning.

Just before his selection, major differences crop up between Home Minister Dinkar Pandey and his dad, with the later threatening to expose the corruption within the State Ministry.

Crime Branch is headed by Sadhu Agashe (Nana Patekar). It is the section of the Mumbai Police Department responsible for handling the underworld related cases. Agashe joined the police in October 1985, and it has been 19 years since then. He joined the Special Forces in 1994. Sadhu is the city's best inspector, with an enviable reputation and record of encounter shootings. Sadhu is known for apprehending criminals and shooting them down. He then makes it look like an "encounter", where the criminal and the police got into a shootout, and the criminal was shot dead in resultant police firing. Sadhu is a media sensation for eliminating many known underworld hit-men. Though tough, he is a loving husband to his wife Namita (Revathi) and son Aman (Tanmay Jahagirdar) and also helps his informers and other poor people in times of need. His immediate junior, Imtiyaz Siddiqui (Yashpal Sharma) despises Sadhu to no end; he feels Sadhu intentionally belittles him. Sadhu does not believe that Imtiyaz has reliable sources and discourages him from taking any action. Also, Imtiyaz is more concerned about adding to his encounter score and therefore ends up killing more than the primary target which is the main reason Sadhu dislikes him. To add to his woes, Imtiyaz is unable to surpass Sadhu's encounter "score" of 50. Imtiyaz himself is at 41. Jatin (Nakul Vaid) is a rookie to this line of policing who manages to impress Sadhu. The inspector takes the newcomer under his wing, further antagonizing Imtiyaz. Jatin follows Sadhu's instructions to the letter and doesn't get into the morality of their actions. Sadhu even invites Jatin and his fiance Vaishali (Hrishitaa Bhatt) for dinner at his home. Imtiyaz feels that he is being deliberately kept away from meaningful assignments that lead to fame and promotions. All of them report to the Commissioner Pradhan (Mohan Agashe) who is a fair and honest police officer. Pradhan knows about Sadhu's encounters and protects him as he knows that there is no evidence against the underworld and thus, they will never be punished by the courts. Sadhu establishes a love-hate friendship on the phone with Zameer (Prasad Purandare), a notorious underworld leader based abroad, who grudgingly admires Sadhu for his no-nonsense attitude. Zameer and rival don, Rajshekhar run the Mumbai underworld. Zameer believes that police is eliminating his gang by being in cahoots with Rajshekhar. Sadhu retorts that he himself has killed 16 of Rajshekhar's men. Sadhu Agashe's world begins to turn upside down as Pradhan retires and with the entrance of the new commissioner, Suchak (Jeeva) who has a strong link to the Don, Rajshekhar. Suchak doesn't like that Sadhu is a hero for the media, who ignore his press conference to interview Sadhu. Suchak signals his intentions to Sadhu when he reopens the cases files against Sadhu. Jatin knows that Suchak is against Sadhu and tries to warn him. Pradhan tells Sadhu that senior officers are temporary and that he should not abandon his path. Suchak takes a liking towards Imtiyaz who is willing to do encounters primarily of Zameer's men mainly on Rajshekhar's orders. During one the raids against Rajshekhar's main hit-man Feroz (Parvez Fazal Khan), Imtiaz messes up, resulting in the death of Feroz's mother & Feroz's arrest (Sadhu didn't kill Feroz as he was under orders from Suchak to capture him alive). Shortly thereafter, Feroz escapes custody. Suchak starts undermining and belittling Sadhu. Sadhu continues on his honest path. Eventually, the pressures of his career take a toll on his personal life as Sadhu's wife is killed by an assassin's bullet, which was meant for Sadhu. All the suspicion falls on Feroz, but Sadhu is unable to trace him down. Suchak orders Sadhu not to follow any leads against Feroz without any solid evidence. When Sadhu threatens to resign, Suchak installs Imtiyaz as the new Head of the Crime Branch. During his personal investigation into this matter, Sadhu kills a few right-hand men of Rajshekhar. Sadhu is compelled to resign from the force and Suchak (on Rajshekhar's orders) sends Imtiyaz to kill Sadhu. Sadhu manages to kill him and in a peculiar chain of events, Sadhu Agashe, a once famed inspector, becomes a fugitive of the law. Suchak announces shoot at sight orders against Sadhu despite Pradhan's advice to the contrary. Sadhu is forced to ask Zameer for help in escaping from India. Meanwhile Jatin, who has been growing increasingly disenchanted by Suchak's behavior, resigns and calls for a press conference and exposes Suchak's connection to Rajshekhar. Suchak disputes this but is suspended pending investigation. Sadhu goes to Zameer's HQ and thanks him for releasing him and tells him that he is now Zameer's man. As Zameer and Sadhu are drinking alone celebrating this, Sadhu breaks a glass and uses the sharp edge to kill Zameer and escape. Before killing Zameer, Sadhu had accused him of killing his wife & then framing Feroz for the same. At a location abroad, Sadhu and Pradhan are having coffee. Pradhan asks Sadhu about why he has run away thereby proving the allegations against him, Sadhu tells him that it is part of his plan. He was able to kill Zameer as a fugitive which he never could have as a cop. He says that he will now go to Rajshekhar since Rajshekhar is thrilled at Zameer's death and kill him too. Sadhu says that he doesn't care what the world thinks of him, and he will always be a cop and will continue his work of eliminating crime until he dies. He requests Pradhan to look after his son who is with his aunt in Pune and Pradhan contemplatively agrees.

The stories include: A husband trying to scare his wife; a man stuck at a creepy "healthy hotel"; a teacher spooked by a child's homework; a housewife scared of apples; a bizarre lift on a freeway; and a college kid with an unusual power. Unlike the usual Indian horror film, this does not resort to sound effects and visuals for thrills. Each sketch has its moments, though a couple of them could have been brilliant with small script changes and a resistance to oversimplifying. Most of the actors do decent jobs, especially Raghubir Yadav as the freaked-out teacher. —Joyojeet Pal A group of friends are stranded in a remote rural area when their vehicle breaks down.

Such a voice is that of Prof. Prabhat Varma , a poet and a professor of Sanskrit who comes to Bombay and finds himself unwittingly drawn into the vortex of lawlessness and violence. In trying to raise his voice of protest he draws on himself the violent reaction of the under world gangs, one of which tries to teach him a lesson by brutally raping his sister and killing his mother. Knowing about the inadequacy of law that seeks evidence as a precondition of justice, Prabhat launches a one-man crusade against all evildoers - and in the process becomes an avenging angel destroying all those who perpetrate terrorism and death on peace loving citizens. When his mission to bring peace to the terrorized and tormented public was accomplished he decides to surrender himself to the police so that he is able to face the court and defend himself. His main aim is to tell the court that whatever he did it was not to take law in his own hands but to protect law from those who broke it. Advocate Rajani strives along with him in this struggle. Will they succeed in proving his innocence to the law? —gavin (gunmasterM@hotmail.com)
