TN 07 AL 4777 is almost a perfect remake of the Hindi movie Taxi Number 9211. Director Lakshmi Kanthan has ensured en engrossing trip through a day's life of a two persons hailing from different backgrounds. The interesting script, right cast, performances, and background score have made the ride enjoyable. 

The story is about meeting of fates of a rich guy (Goutham, played by Ajmal) caught in a legal tussle of inheritance and a desperate call taxi driver (Manikandan, played by Pasupathi) crippled by economic problems. The rich man's desperation puts him and the taxi driver in to bigger troubles. While Goutham loses his strong position to reclaim the property of his father, Mani almost loses his family. Both are at rage against each other, as each of them thinks that the other guy is responsible for his predicament.

The hunting game starts and eventually both find themselves in a same position: dithered by their near and dear ones besides losing their base. The climax shows you how they face the situation and make amendments in their lives. 

Lakshmi Kanthan has deftly adapted the original version and made it suitable for the Tamil context. He has also extracted good performances besides executing the scenes on the streets perfectly. However, there are some loopholes in the script. Why Ajmal could not get an adjournment citing the real reason? How come Ajmal knows that Pasupathi is in the school? Moreover, the way Ajmal's friends and lover (Meenakshi) ditch him lacks credibility.

But these lacunas could not mar the overall impact made possible by deft execution. The director deserves complements for portraying the characters with shades and handling the emotional sequences between Pasupathi and Simran, who plays his wife. 

Pasupathi plays the role played by veteran Nana Patekar in the Hindi version. Though he might pale in comparison with Patekar, there is no denying the fact that he has done an excellent job in bringing about the plight and predicaments of the character. His histrionics in the school are worth mentioning.  

Ajmal, relatively a newcomer, too manages to do justice for the role handled well by John Abraham in the Hindi original.Simran as the wife of Pasupathi adds strength to the role by her solid performance while Meenakshi, as the girlfriend of Ajmal, looks good and acts competently.

There is nothing much to write about Vijay Anthony's music, as no song stays in your mind. But he has done well in background score. Gurudev's cinematography adds value to the movie.
