The Girl on the Train

The Girl on the Train

Nusrat is chased by someone in a forest and Mira is standing at the train station. In a flashback it is shown that Mira met Shekhar at a wedding where they fell in love. They both get married and Mira is pregnant. Mira is fighting a case against Jimmy Bagga where she successfully wins and Jimmy goes to jail. A few months later she is hit by a car and has amnesia caused by the car accident. She has become an alcoholic, and has separated from Shekhar who re-married to Anjali. Obsessed with a seemingly perfect couple she sees from the train window on her commute to London, one drunken night Mira follows the young woman into the forest but doesn't recall what happens next. The police have a decent amount of circumstantial evidence against her and even move to make an arrest but Mira escapes out the window and calls for a favour from the family member of a former client, and asking him to get her a phone, some cash, and a gun. Mira discovers that the missing girl Nusrat wasn't as happily married as she seemed and that she was having an affair. She theorizes that Mira is her killer – in a drunken rage which she accidentally records on her phone, Mira fantasises about smashing Nusrat's head in, angry that she is ruining her own marriage. Other suspects include, Nusrat's dance teacher, a blackmailing private investigator, and more than one aggressive and abusive husband. It's eventually revealed that Mira's philandering ex-husband Shekhar has been gaslighting her for years.
