The trailer for The Girl on the Train, starring Parineeti Chopra, Kirti Kulhari, Aditi Rao Hydari and Avinash Tiwary. The Bollywood film is written and directed by Ribhu Dasgupta.
The trailer opens with Parineeti character Meera Kapoor talking about a woman, whom she enjoys through the window of a passenger train every day. The woman turns up dead, and Meera is involved in the murder case. The trailer suggests that her character has amnesia, and from what we know from the original material, she also deals with alcohol.
The Girl on the Train is based on the Paula Hawkins novel of the same name. The film was previously adapted in Hollywood where Emily Blunt played a lead role.
Commenting on the film, Parineeti Chopra said in a statement, “The Girl On The Train was a completely different experience for me as I had never done such a role. Getting to know Meera Kapoor’s character and working closely with Ribhu to bring her to life was a great learning experience for me. As an actor, I always wanted to challenge myself, and this role allowed me to do just that. The Girl On The Train takes the audience on a dark journey trying to tell who really committed the crime and get them to guess the truth! ”
The Girl on the Train will start streaming on Netflix from February 26th.
