Can we reach LTT from Dadar by taxi within 1.5 hrs? (assuming we leave Dadar at 7 p.m., can we conveniently catch this train at 8.50 p.m.?) Kindly advise me about the scenario in the rainy season in particular, the roads and the water logging if applicable on the roads.

Monsoon Rains causes traffic jams in Mumbai. Plus its evening Peak hours (people returning away to home)
Try Leaving Dadar ASAP by 6.30 pm , so that somewhere if traffic is present , you could reach LTT by 8.30 pm.
Keep as much buffer as you can. Just after boarding the taxi , tell the driver clearly that you have a Train to catch from LTT at 8.30 pm. So that he will also try his best considering the situation.

exactly sir, worried about traffic during peak hours and rains... taking local train to kurla is simply unthinkable with luggage and all.. :( :(
No No No..Don't even dare to think to take local from dadar to Kurla. You won;t even be able to get inside the Local. Its evening office returning time.
Best option is taxi only. Or else you can even book a Ola/Meru cab. They are also good in speed but you can't ask/force them to drive quickly.
Whereas Mumbai taxi drivers are bit helpful when it comes to any problem , like missing a train or something. I have myself reached Bandra Terminus within 30 minutes from Dadar in taxi but the timing...

It may also help to get from Dadar to Wadala and take the Eastern Freeway which ends at Chedda Nagar (Chembur) and take a left at the signal to climb the Santacruz Chembur Link Road flyover which will directly drop you off at LTT.
In this route, rain or no rain any major traffic will only be encountered at the Chedda Nagar signal.
