Films on train Journey
Madhavan is chugging away. From his first Tamil film to his latest project - on the July 2006 Mumbai bombings - several of his on-screen characters have a train connection. In his first Tamil film, Alaipayuthey, he was commuting in local trains while wooing his co-star.
Recently for Nishikant Kamath’s ‘Yenavu Oruvan’, his character spent all his time traveling by train. Now he is working on a third film where the local trains play a bouncy part. Madhavan plays one of the leads in Kamat’s first Hindi film ‘Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan.’After ‘Rang De Basanti’, he had been cautious regarding what he did in Hindi. No matter what, it had to be something that addressed itself to the nation’s conscience. Nishikant’s ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ was just what he needed. Not that he wouldn’t be doing fun films but ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ hits you where it hurts. It’s based on the July 2006 train bombings in Mumbai. Paresh Rawal, K.K. Menon, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan and play different people grappling with various issues after the terrible explosions in Mumbai. Around 200 people were killed in the July 11, 2006, train bombings here.
Kamath’s film will be the third film within a year to go into the 2006 Mumbai explosions. Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Wednesday’ and Joy Augustine’s ‘Little Godfather’ are the other two forthcoming projects that look at the tragedy from dissimilar perceptions.
