The Train: Some Lines Should Never Be Crossed... is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Hasnain Hyderabadwala and Raksha Mistry. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Geeta Basra[2] and debutant Sayali Bhagat in the lead roles, and tells the story of a married couple caught up in a complex emotional tangle revolving around an extramarital affair. It is a remake of the 2005 American film Derailed, an adaptation of James Siegel's 2003 novel Derailed. It was a box office disappointment.[3]

Plot

Vishal Dixit, a middle-class man in Bangkok, struggles with his deteriorating marriage and his daughter Nikki's critical need for a kidney operation. His life takes a turn when he meets Richa Malhotra (posing as Roma Kapoor), a woman in a similar unhappy marriage. Their affair leads to them being blackmailed by Tony, a criminal who ultimately reveals himself as Richa's accomplice.

Vishal's attempts to pay off Tony drain his savings, including money meant for Nikki's surgery. When he learns Richa and Tony are con artists, he tracks them down, leading to a confrontation where both Richa and Tony are killed in a gunfight. Vishal retrieves his stolen money from the hotel safe and returns to his family. Nikki's surgery is successful, and Vishal reconciles with his wife, Anjali, promising a fresh start.
