New Delhi: Tennis star Leander Paes is making an entry into Bollywood with director Ashok Kohli's socio-political drama 'Rajdhani Express'. The film also stars Priyanshu Chatterjee, Sudhansu Pandey, Gulshan Grover and Jimmy Shergill. Sayali Bhagat, Shilpa Shukla and Mukesh Rishi will also be seen in the film.
The film revolves around a man named Keshav (Leander Paes) who discovers that the life is not going to remain the same after a dramatic train ride. The journey from Delhi to Mumbai becomes a life changing experience for him.
Leander Paes is all set to make his presence felt in the film industry with 'Rajdhani Express' but will he able to do it? Performing on the court is entirely different from performing on the celluloid, we have seen several sports personalities failing miserably in the field of acting, so Paes needs to work extra hard on his expressions in the movie. Hopefully, fellow actors would come to Paes' rescue.
Rohit Vats of IBNLive is inside the theatre to live tweet the experience of 'Rajdhani Express'.####

#RajdhaniExpress begins with Leander Paes and Priyanshu. Paes would be hoping for a good start in Bollywood.IBNLive Movies
Someone in #RajdhaniExpress very rightly says, ”Shame and pride are two sides of the same coin.”IBNLive Movies
The director has tried to open #RajdhaniExpress on a high note. But it doesn’t impress much.IBNLive Movies
Sayali Bhagat is not getting many chances to prove her worth in films. Hopefully she will make a mark with #RajdhaniExpress.IBNLive Movies
Leander Paes is on a journey that has the potential of changing his life. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
What are the fans expecting from Leander? Your comments. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
The idea behind the film seems noble but tranforming it onto the celluloid needs mammoth efforts. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
It’s interesting to see the actors forgetting their respective accent in the middle of a scene. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Priyanshu returns to Hindi films but with a weird character. Once he was seen as someone very promising in Tum Binn. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
The director has opted for a non linear structure in #RajdhaniExpress. Only Priyanshu is keeping the interest in the film alive.IBNLive Movies
The film says only mad people are safe in this world. Do they really believe in it? #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
It’s cool to offer a complete stranger medicines without him asking for it. Chalta hai. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
One good thing about #RajdhaniExpress is that it has used one of Mirza Ghalib’s ghazals.IBNLive Movies
The film hasn’t offered well constructed scenes so far. Hopefully #RajdhaniExpress will run faster in the second half.IBNLive Movies
Things are going to be tough for #RajdhaniExpress if the director doesn’t do something excellent now.IBNLive Movies
Established actors may not get affected but new actors need a good film in the beginning. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Good to see Ishrat Ali after such a long time. Once again he is playing a politician. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
At times the actors look clueless about the next scene in #RajdhaniExpress. Is this going to remain the same till the end?IBNLive Movies
Some of the actors didn’t even get the time to touch up their make up. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Can a laptop qualify as a TV! Probably there is a hidden TV tuner somewhere. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
One should not react before the slap. Leave prematured reactions to footballers. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Pehle aati thi har baat pe hansi, ab kisi baat pe nahi aati. #RajdhaniExpress has realistic lyrics I guess.IBNLive Movies
There are not many differences between black cat commandos and club bouncers in #RajdhaniExpress. Dressing sense I tell you!IBNLive Movies
Bravo Jimmy Shergill. You are trying hard. Will it last till the ultimate scene? #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Leander Paes’ laugh is highly infectious. Who cares if he plays a mentally disturbed man! #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Jimmy Shergill should be featured as Don in Don 3. He also smiles mysteriously. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
How can someone stop Mukesh Rishi from doing his job? Have you seen his size! People are in some serious danger in #RajdhaniExpress.IBNLive Movies
The film heads towards the climax. Let’s gear up for some action. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Priyanshu to Paes: Aiee tum over-acting band karo. Was he serious? #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Neither Jimmy nor Leander gives up easily. We should follow them. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
The storyteller decides to end #RajdhaniExpress in a gloomy environment.IBNLive Movies
The germ of the film is good but the project lacked the planning. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
Probably Leander Paes will have to wait for another film to make an impression in Bollywood. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
#RajdhaniExpress has a lot of flaws in its script. Bad acting also hampers its chances.IBNLive Movies
The film has nothing new to offer. Watching it will entirely be your decision. #RajdhaniExpressIBNLive Movies
