What happens

Mumbai Xpress is a 2005 Indian black comedy film directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao and produced by Kamal Haasan. It stars Kamal Haasan himself in the lead role alongside Manisha Koirala. The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, while Siddharth Ramaswamy and Ashmith Kunder handled the cinematography and editing. The film was simultaneously shot in Tamil and Hindi. This was the first Indian censored film to be filmed in digital format. The lead pair, as well as Sharat Saxena, Ramesh Aravind, Hardik Thakar, and Dheena, were retained for the Hindi version of the film; also, Vijay Raaz, Dinesh Lamba, Om Puri, Saurabh Shukla and Pratima Kazmi reprised the roles played by Pasupathy, Vaiyapuri, Nassar, Santhana Bharathi and Kovai Sarala in the Tamil version, respectively. The Tamil version of Mumbai Xpress was released on 14 April 2005, and the Hindi version the day after. Both versions were not successful at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
