Don’t sit on the edge of your seat as you watch this, you might just fall off dozing.
They needn’t worry about comparisons, there’s scope for none. Ribhu Dasgupta’s Bollywoodised rehash (oops, adaptation) of Paula Hawkins’ bestseller of the same name is too lazy to recreate the slow-burn shock value of the novel and banks on a tangle of too many inconsequential twists.
Hawkins’ written work, an intensely psychological piece, was always a challenge to recreate on screen. A lot of the ‘action’ in the book is actually internalised and it unfolds as thought process of the protagonist. You realised this aspect even while watching the Hollywood adaptation of 2016, starring Emily Blunt. However, Blunt did a great job conveying pain through silences, bringing alive emptiness in her gaze.

Parineeti Chopra in a still from her film The Girl On The Train.
The trailer of Parineeti Chopra’s much-awaited film, The Girl On The Train, released today and boy, it is gripping from the word go. Parineeti’s film was scheduled to release in May last year but due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the film will now start streaming on Netflix from February 26. The teaser of The Girl On The Train was released a few weeks ago and it is safe to say that we haven’t seen Parineeti play a character like this before.
