Mumbai: The Girl on the Train captivates you, it is a book that you cannot put down and if you are willing to go through the repercussions, it is a piece that you can finish in one sitting. It is massively entertaining, with a lead character who is layered and unpredictable that you don’t know how to feel about her. Long story short, it has earned all the acclaim and success it has received.

The film’s premise looked like a sure shot success, but a lot of die-hard fans of the book complained that the film did not match up to their expectations. One of the major issues for the fans was that the film was set in New York City instead of London.

Parineeti Chopra’s character Meera Kapoor is an alcoholic divorcee, who is also unemployed. She is a lawyer by profession, and a resident of London, who met her ex-husband in a ‘Desi’ wedding in London. She also made a powerful enemy by convicting an Indian gang-leader for murder, and his well wishers retaliated by causing a car crash where she lost her unborn child. After she becomes increasingly dependent on alcohol and seemingly abusive towards her husband, he leaves her for another woman.
