There is nothing that writer-director Ribhu Dasgupta can’t ruin by simply pointing a camera at it.
With The Girl on the Train, he takes a novel that was adapted into a mediocre Emily Blunt film, and somehow makes it worse.
We discuss Parineeti Chopra’s misguided performance, the lack of any internal logic to its godawful narrative, and that Abbas–Mustan-inspired final twist.
Later, we talk about Netflix India’s 2021 slate, and the titles we’re most excited about.
