Khaali Peeli (Black and Yellow Taxi; English: For No Reason) is a decent comic caper that works because of the fast-paced storyline, Ishaan Khatter's electric performance, Jaideep Ahlawat's presence, and the flipflop screenplay style that keeps you occupied. It has its fair share of ups and downs (mostly cringeworthy sequences involving Ananya Pandey's antiques) but it passes muster and I was able to satisfactorily finish it. The story is the usual, about runaways with money in the bag, but the Mumbaiya dialogues and the rusty settings makes it appealing and worthwhile. Give it a watch if you have a Zee5 subscription. **Grade C**.
