Synopsis:
Poignant and funny by turns, this play on mistaken identity takes place in rural India in 2001. Two brides (Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel, both revelatory) accidentally get off their train at the wrong stations to meet their respective husbands. In a classic comedy of errors, Deepak (Sparsh Shrivastava) escorts the wrong veiled woman from the overnight train, only realizing his mistake when he gets home, while his actual bride is left to fend for herself in a desolate station. A search for her begins, led by a goofy police officer (Ravi Kishan), but it may be that these newlyweds are not so lost after all. A perfect family movie, with Bollywood legend Aamir Khan on board as a producer
