Rajdhani Express

U/A; Drama

Director: Ashok Kohli

Cast: Leander Paes, Jimmy Shergill, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Sadhanshu Pandey

Sometimes there are so many things wrong with a film that it doesn’t even make sense pointing them out. Rajdhani Express is abundant with such moments that show you how a film is not supposed to be made. They might be lessons in disguise for an aspiring filmmaker but the general public is better off maintaining distance.

Basically set in a running train, the story of this particular socio-political experiment revolves around four people who are sharing a compartment. The focus, however, is on a guy (Leander Paes) a kind of misfit due to his underprivileged background. He’s supposed to personify the gap between the haves and the haves-not but his role is so scattered and unstable that it is self-defeating. On top of that, the comical adventure that follows between these co-passengers — alongside several other weird characters on board — doesn’t hold ground. At all!
