This is a story of humanity. Madholal's simple life has modest dreams and usual challenges. The times were perfect. A supportive wife Kamla, loving daughters Sudha and Summi. A trusted neighbour Anwar and friendships like none other.
Each morning Madholal starts a journey with his inseparable comrades on the local train. An eclectic mix of buddies, witty Peon, Rajan, fastidious lawyer, Varma, beetlejuice spewing stockbroker Jayesh, romantic young executive, Satish. and youthful retiree, Joshi Kaka. They laugh with and at each other. Meeting only in the trains, squabbling and laughing all the way they pass the journey everyday.
Till the tragedy strikes and one event blows it all into smithereens It shatters the very fabric of Madholal's life. Then come the testing times for a family, a neighbourhood and a friendship. Tumultuous times that turn a perfect home into a gloomy abode, the Wife into a stalwart, daughter into a crutch, trusted confidant into a suspect and concerns of a father into his nightmares.
Gloomy doom shrouds over his life. Madholal tries to no avail to darn the life that has been ripped to tatters. A cowardly act of terrorism puts a man's character and grit to test. It hits at the very heart of society's solidarity. We live in such times. Help comes from the most unexpected quarter. His soul speaks out. These trying times do not destroy Madholal rather reaffirm his belief in goodness and strength of human spirit.
A misfortune can cripple him but can't stop Madholal. He takes his first step towards bringing his life back on the tracks. The local train is his teacher, friend and lifeline. Come hail or storm Madholal has to keep walking.
