Read the complete plot breakdown of Taarzan: The Wonder Car (2004), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.
Deven Chaudhary, an automobile engineer, lives with his mother Suhasini and his ten-year-old son Raj Chaudhary. He designs a futuristic car with advanced features and names it DC. He also preserves an older Morris Minor car handed down by his late father, which he calls “Taarzan,” inspired by the car’s mirror ornament that resembles Tarzan.
Seeking a chance to bring his ideas to life, Rakesh Kapoor and his FourFox partners Kailash Chopra, Anthony D’Costa, and Mahesh Saxena praise the design but clash over royalties. They steal the concept and register it under their own name.
Enraged, [Deven Chaudhary] is left with no recourse but to confront the system, filing a complaint with the police. The investigating officer, Inspector Sanjay Sharma, is secretly on the payroll of the crooked group. He, along with Rakesh Kapoor and his cronies, ambush Deven, gag him, and push his car into a lake, resulting in Deven’s death.
Twelve years pass. Raj Chaudhary is now a college student who falls for Priya, a wealthy girl. He also works part-time as a mechanic at a garage run by Kartar Singh. When he stumbles upon his father’s old car, Taarzan, in a scrapyard, he scrapes together enough money to buy it for ₹5000.
With [Kartar Singh], Raj rebuilds the car, upgrading it far beyond Deven’s original design and renaming it DC to honor his father.
Unbeknownst to Raj, Deven’s spirit inhabits the rebuilt car, using it to punish the men who killed him: [Kailash Chopra], [Anthony D’Costa], [Mahesh Saxena], and [Inspector Sanjay Sharma]. Because the car belongs to Raj, the new automaton makes him a prime suspect in the ongoing case under the watch of Inspector Khurana.
When [Rakesh Kapoor] returns to India and discovers his partners are dead, he confronts Raj, only to realize Priya’s involvement in the tangled past. He suspects Raj of uncovering the truth and intends to seize Priya to send her to London for an arranged marriage. The revelation about Deven’s death shocks him, and before he can act, Deven’s spirit materializes to save Raj.
Cornered, [Khurana] arrests [Rakesh Kapoor]. Deven bids a final farewell to Suhasini and Raj, and with the family finally united—Raj, Suhasini, and Priya—the lingering spirit finds peace and ascends to heaven.
