Dr. Cabbie is a Indian-Canadian comedy film directed by Jean-François Pouliot. The film stars Vinay Virmani, Kunal Nayyar, and Adrianne Palicki. From the official synopsis:

An unemployed doctor-turned-cab driver becomes a local hero when he converts his taxi into a mobile clinic. DR.CABBIE is a heartwarming comedy about a young Indian doctor who immigrates to Canada and faces roadblocks in his effort to heal others but discovers his true purpose, and true love, along the way.

Despite being based on the very real issue of over-qualified immigrants not finding jobs in other countries, Dr. Cabbie doesn’t take itself too seriously and portrays Indian life in an authentic way, full of over the top relatives and colourful song and dance numbers. The majority of the film was shot in Toronto meaning viewers will be able to pick out lots of familiar places and landmarks. Bollywood actor Salman Khan is co producing Dr. Cabbie under his Salman Khan Being Human Productions banner. A portion of the film’s profits will go towards Khan’s charity.

Dr. Cabbie is rated PG.
