The trailer looks promising but I wish Indian films got this kind of international coverage. Our regional cinema has amazing stories too. Still, will definitely watch this - the cast is excellent!

As someone who loves character-driven dramas, this seems perfect. The railway backdrop reminds me of those old Indian train journeys. Hope it captures that same sense of journey and transformation.

Good to see it's coming to Netflix soon after theatrical release. Saves us the theatre money! 😅 The story about a working man's struggle is universal - reminds me of so many Indian fathers working away from home to provide for their families.

The director's previous work got an Oscar nomination, so expectations are high. Hope the film does justice to the source material. The railway theme is interesting - we have such rich railway culture in India too!

While I appreciate international cinema, I do wish more Indian audiences would support our own parallel cinema with the same enthusiasm. Films like these are great, but let's not forget our own talented filmmakers creating meaningful content.
