Raj takes a quick survey of the vehicle, noticing that it is covered with leaves. As he begins to brush them off, he notices the hood is unlatched. He raises the hood, and notices that the fuel pump is spraying what I would assume is fuel. Raj reaches in to make a small adjustment, and the spraying stops. Raj anxiously enters the car, and decides to try starting it. After a few tense and labored attempts, the engine of the mighty Taarzan roars to life!

The next morning Raj has called Priya and Kartar over to see the car. Grandma comes out to bless the new and improved Taarzan, and they all talk about what a miracle it is that the engine started. Raj decides to take his ladies out for a meal to celebrate the new car.

As they arrive at their destination, Taarzan cruises past the four roughnecks who are in awe of the sleek vehicle.


I have to give the movie credit, the new Taarzan is indeed a pretty cool looking car. If you like, you can click here to see some hot parking action. (~1MB)


The roughnecks' admiration turns to scorn once they notice who is getting out of the driver's seat. They are even more disgusted when they notice Priya is traveling with him. Raj takes Grandma and Priya up to the table area while the guys go down to look closely at Taarzan. They comment on how Priya must have inspired this new car, since she's also done some work on Raj's glasses and wardrobe. They decide it is their humble duty to remind Raj of his position in the social food chain.

As Raj tries to arrange a nice dinner for his guests, the guys gather around him and start teasing him about his new look and attitude. They then follow him over to the table and give Priya some flak about how she's turned Raj into a very different person. Raj stands up and tells the guys they have gone too far, but they refute his claim and start getting a little touchy-feely with Raj's new clothes. Grandma tries to speak up, but one of the gang members tells her to be quiet, and then smacks Grandma in the face. Yes, that's right - the sweetest lady in Indian cinema got smacked. Well, Raj does what I would do and punches the guy in the head.

As one might guess this leads to a fight. Raj and the main offender get into a scuffle in the middle of the outdoor eating area. Raj seems to be doing quite well, but the security team arrives to break it up. Raj takes Grandma and Priya to the car. As they are pulling out of the parking lot, the guys come back and start banging on the windows and taunting Raj to come out and finish things. Raj doesn't stop to oblige them, so the guys vow to get him at school the next day.

Later that evening, we see Raj's house at rest. The camera pans over to Taarzan's little coop, where we notice that Taarzan seems to be going off on an adventure of his own. He begins to silently roll down the driveway to the street. Just to make sure we get it, a close-up of a sleeping Raj confirms that Taarzan is devoid of a driver. Once he reaches a safe distance from the house, Taarzan fires up his engine and "opens" his headlights. After a few throaty roars of his engine, Taarzan heads out into the night.

We join the roughnecks at an outdoor plaza where they are drinking and fuming about the insults that have been heaped upon them. They notice a very bight light that is blinking on and off at them, disturbing their "man, we're soooo gonna get that guy" speeches. They notice that the lights are Taarzan's headlights, and decide that now is as good a time as any to have their vengeance on Raj. As the guys come over to the car, Taarzan revs his engine and takes off. The guys hop onto their motorcycles and give chase, ending up at a mostly empty warehouse that is suspiciously well-lit.

This leads to one of the more confusing moments of the movie. That is, the confusion pertaining to who the intended audience for this movie was. We have some silly chases around pillars and boxes as the bikes and Taarzan quickly drive around in circles, all the while the men yell about how they're going to break his legs. Oh, and we also learn one of the guys is named Vicky!
