The Train A murder – mystery – thriller – all in one – a fair try ! No one was murdered in the train, no dead body found in the train either – no thrill happened in the train – then why the name..? read on folks … Story of a husband and wife and their one and only daughter who is suffering from diabetes – very serious – kinda having a dialysis machine near her bed which is beeping all the time. Now folks its but obvious that with such a patient at home – that too a young patient not old and aged father or grand father who can be put in some Home for the aged or hospital – but a young child – born to them – well, you cannot really enjoy life – no loud TV or music ,no fun ! Basically a child which is supposed to be a boon in many Indian families was a curse in their lives ! Bad Karma phal I guess – to be stranded for life with a beeping machine. In one scene it was shown that the couple were about to make love when the machine begins to beep – and loo behold – the husband feels guilty and gets up without doing the needful and the wife puts on her filmsy nighty again – both looked sad, depressed and frustrated ! There is one hope though – hubby is working hard – day and night to collect enough money for a Kidney transplant – they are just waiting for a donor. Hubby works in a advertising agency. He has a gambler friend who is basically a load on Mother Earth….who is into drug peddling/betting and has connections with goons. There is a scene in the movie that a product - Milk Powder – has to be launched where this gambler fellow asks the absolutely dumb models to wear a bikini and pose with the Baby’s Milk Product . The hero comes in and scolds him and asks the dumb bimbos to wear a proper dress ! I was amazed to see the way things work in an advertising agency !! Such dull headed ,sex starved mongrels are actually responsible for the current abnormal psyche of the youths of our world !! Anyways – the hero meets a sexy woman in the train (see – here is where the train comes in). She is basically a hooker who hooks young eligible & dumb men who look interested in having sex with just anyone who lifts her skirt for them. The hero was one sex starved man – remember he could not hump his wife because of the beeping machine at home ?…well so he gets hooked and the girl with her team of goons manage to rob him off all his money that he had been collecting for his daughter’s kidney transplant ! As far as the wife is concerned – well in one scene it is shown that she is wearing a tiny (very tiny) skirt and going to school for a Parents’ meet – maybe she tries her luck with the fathers of other children in the school to quench her sexual demands – maybe – just a thought – honestly I didn’t know that Chinese people are so very BOLD …that the mothers there wear such tiny skirts and go to school on Parents’ meet !! Well the gambler friend dies – he is shot by the goon who was blackmailing the hero – the hero throws the car in the pond and the very next day the police lands up in his office and starts suspecting him . Hero manages to side track the Police Officer (shows how dumb the Police officers are) and at the same time finds out that the sexy female he had met in the train is but a hooker. He somehow manages to foul up their game and succeeds to kill three people. The Chinese Polizia comes and he pretends to be a witness of the murder – the polizia closes the case and the hero gets back all his money ! wow !! happy ending!! – the police who was on his trail - probably remembered some other important assignment and is not seen anymore – maybe even he had met some sexy lass on train and was merrily humping her ….Thank the Pimps and hookers for small mercies !! Hero confesses to his wife and apologizes – the wife quickly forgives …for even she was probably having a good time with the fathers she met in the Parents’ meet. Movie ends here.

If you really want to know why modern marriages are falling apart, don't look for answers in this unfaithful adaptation of a foreign film on unfaithfulness. Yes, Mithoon's tunes are interesting in bits. ... Full Review

Times of India
And the film is forgettable: not even a cover version of the original. Add to this, a kid who needs a kidney transplant and you have the usual Fatal Attraction funda of a good wife (Sayali Bhagat) and dull domesticity threatened by the over-sexed one-night stand (Geeta Basra). ... Full Review

Overall, a pretty decent thriller, can be defined as total timepass. Emraan Hashmi is as good as ever in his role. Sayali Bhagat makes a confident debut, she looks beautiful, but her acting is a little inconsistent. sure is a rising new talent. ... Full Review

On the whole, THE TRAIN is an entertaining fare that lives up to the expectations. All said, THE TRAIN is very much on track and succeeds in reaching its destination without hiccups. Aseem Merchant does very well. Ananth Mahadevan is good. ... Full Review

The film is short and the screenplay shifts gears from one plot to another effectively, leaving you with some thrilling moments. Direction is praiseworthy. The film is a logical culmination of sub plots which deal with varied emotions in the film. ... Full Review
