The Train Movie Review
The devious twists and turns in the plot of ‘The Train’ make it a good ride for spending your time.
Inspired by the Hollywood film DERAILED [2005; Clive Owen, Jennifer Aniston], , about a blackmailer making the life of a married person miserable. However, the directors have Indianized the plot by making their own additions and alterations at the movie’s fag end.
For those who haven't watch DERAILED, THE TRAIN is a novel experience for sure. The Indianisation of the plot as also the twists-n-turns in the narrative keep the film going. Besides, the film is embellished with lilting music [Mithoon], which acts as the perfect topping on the pudding.
There is a very apparent attempt to cash in on Emraan Hashmi’s image as a serial kisser. Lip locks there are sufficient in the film. There is also a dash of glamour and exposure, thanks to the gorgeous and well-endowed Geeta Basra. Newcomer Sayali Bhagat, a former Miss India, leaves an impression because of her looks and not because of her acting.
‘The Train’ is a tale of love, lust, adultery, murder and deceit all rolled together into one. The story takes place in Bangkok, Thailand.
‘The Train’ begins as an ordinary tale of extramarital romance but it changes track with a twist that turns the life of the protagonist topsy-turvy. Thereafter, focus shifts to a blackmailer (Aseem Merchant), and the movie becomes a thriller with a twist in the tail.
Emraan Hashmi is very much in form this time around. The actor carries the film on his able shoulders and contributes enormously in making the on-screen action riveting. Geeta Basra is a surprise. The girl has evolved into a fine actor. She looks alluring too. Sayali Bhagat looks pretty, but needs to polish her acting skills.
Aseem Merchant does very well. In fact, his face lends freshness to the character. Rajat Bedi is competent. Suresh Menon provides some laughs. Ananth Mahadevan is good.
On the whole, THE TRAIN is an entertaining fare that lives up to the expectations. At the box-office, it will carry the passengers [read distributors] to safety for sure.
