Storyline:

‘Ek Chalis Ki Last Local’ is a film on a call center guy Nilesh (Abhay Deol) who misses his last local train home with 70 Rs in his pocket. When he comes back after 2.5 hrs to catch his morning local.. he has made 2.5 crores and has a pretty girl Madhu (Neha Dhupia) in his arms. What happened to him in these 2 ½ hrs is this whole 2 ½ hrs comic thriller film.

Abhay Deol:

The film is a comic-thriller. It’s a concept oriented film which I feel is the new-generation film making. Working with Sanjay I realized that he is far more credible in work than most of the people I have worked with. I see him in the likes of Anurag Kashyap, Farhan Akhtar and Imtiaz Ali.

Neha Dhupia:

No it’s not me or Abhay but the film belongs to the director. Especially because he is the writer of the film as well. He is one of the most focused directors in my career. Personally I see him in category of Priyadarshan and Kundan Shah.

Sanjay Khanduri:

Music of the film is essentially from Sandesh Shandilya (‘You are My Sonia’ and ‘Chameli’ fame) and ‘Call’ Band of Pakistan. Abhay Neha portray two middle class people who miss their last train home, one rainy night. How they land up with ‘dhai crore in dhai ghante’ forms the crux of this comic-thriller film. Working on ‘Ek Chalis..’ was not easy as I was with Abhay and Neha shooting on the roads, chawls and local trains in nights. People in hundreds would surround us in minutes. Their cooperation was invaluable support and kept me going. They are actually ‘My Stars’.
