Synopsis : This is a story of humanity.
Madholal’s simple life has modest dreams and usual challenges. The times were perfect. A supportive wife Kamla, loving daughters Sudha and Summi, a trusted neighbor Anwar and friendships like none other.
Each morning Madholal starts a journey with his inseparable comrades. An eclectic mix of buddies, witty peon Rajan, fastidious lawyer Varma, Beetle juice spewing stockbroker Jayesh, romantic young executive Satish and a youthful retire Joshi Kaka. They laugh with and at each other.
Meeting only in the trains, squabbling and laughing all the way they pass the journey every day, till the tragedy strikes. One event blows it all into smithereens, shatters the very fabric of Madholal’s life.
Come the testing times for a family, a neighborhood and a friendship, tumultuous times that turn a perfect home into a gloomy abode, wife into a stalwart, daughter into a crutch, trusted confidant into a suspect and concerns of a father into his nightmares.
Gloomy doom shrouds over his life. Madholal tries to no avail to darn the life that has been torn to tatters.
Help comes from the most unexpected quarter. His soul speaks out, and these trying times do not destroy Madholal rather reaffirm his belief in goodness and strength of human spirit.
Film is a Microcosm of basic human emotions. We all are cogwheels of the machinery that has fallen apart due to external and evil events beyond our control.
Realities of our times, but each man are for himself. He has to himself put them back together to defeat the purpose of the wrongdoers.
A contemporary message in these tumultuous modern times, a misfortune can cripple him but can’t stop Madholal. He takes his first step towards bringing his life back on the tracks. The local train is his teacher, friend and lifeline. Come hail or storm Madholal has to keep walking.
