About the film:
World Premiere, 2023 Toronto International Film Festival
When army commando Amrit finds out his true love Tulika is engaged against her will, he boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage. But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani begin to terrorize innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him—turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.
“Does it qualify as ‘excessive’ if the audience keeps clamoring for more?”
