Synopsis:
Sixty thousand taxis run on the streets of Mumbai. Each one has a story. Shanu has been driving a taxi in Mumbai for three years without moving up or making any money. He doesn't want much - just enough to be able to take his old Abu Jaan on the Haj one day. Late one night, a passenger leaves an expensive mobile phone behind in his taxi. When Shanu returns it, he gets the phone as a reward. He could either sell it off or he could start using it. Perhaps, after three years of toil on the city's lonely streets, this is his chance to do better for himself and his family. Shanu Taxi is Shanu's little story: about his dreams, his taxi and his city at night.
