I generally don't watch Neha Dhupias films but when my friend insisted I thought I will take a look for Abhay Deols sake. I started the film at some 11.30 in night thinking will see half and rest will see in morning. But I ended up watching even the end credits till around 1:45 am. Just loved the film. Slept thinking how hero who had just dhai ghanta (2.5 hrs) go thru so many things so convincingly. Guess credit goes to the film maker. Superbly directed and thought. I checked for more of his films but nothing. Besides the twist and turns what I liked was the love story pun in this mayhem. Neha never looked better and Abhay was soo affable and funny specially when his clothes were taken off and he was tied to bed.. Good fun. Only thing I wish was if the film was little shorter say by 10 min. But worth. I wish we had a few more film makers here like this and they would give even west a run for money. Now like my friends I recommend whoever has not seen to see this flick.

I very much enjoyed this dark comedy that is most set in a night between 1:40 and 4:10. On his way home a young man, Nilesh misses the last train. The next one's due at 4:10 so he goes wondering the streets in search of a taxi or any other alternative that will get him home. He only has 70 rupees but, by the end of the night, he ends up with 25 million. How? During Nilesh's adventure (or misadventure) we are introduced to various characters including a Nana Patekar wannabe wannabe, a corpulent 'cabaret' singer, an obese 'hijra', a glass-eyed hit-man, a wacky chatterbox of a tomboy, a ruthless CC (corrupt cop) and lots of unusual 'visitors' of the night.Abhay Deol is one of the very few fine actors of the current generation who is a risk-taker. I'd seen him earlier in 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd' where he was hilarious and here the actor just merges very well into the character that is equally comedic. He's not afraid at all to look like a fool on screen (as required by the character), something that will scare most of his peers away. The actor bravely accepts the part and does a remarkable job. Neha Dhupia is mostly adequate but in a few scenes, she tends to go over the top. The supporting cast are great and really bring out the humour. I just thought the three hit men in the car sequences were bit loud and could have used some slight toning down.The songs play in the background. There is one very pleasant song that often repeats in the background, a great song for a rainy or just-rained scene. The cabaret number 'Kukuruku' is quite catchy. The voice-over is quite charming and quirky and gives more insight into Nilesh's character.Director Khanduri deserves a pat on the shoulder for coming up with something different that is so much fun to watch. He's clearly inspired by Tarantino and Richie and creatively puts his inspiration to good use in the film. For me, '1:40 Ki Last Local' is one of the ideal rainy day flicks.

The movie is a must see for all ages except children (<10), who might not understand. I liked the role of Malvankar/Mala/Nilesh. Especially, Malvankar has a unique way of delivering dialog, which is very appealing. Most of the time humor is subtle but admirable. Movie's storyline never lets you down or get you bored, it elicits that creative thinking can produce great story. Background music and songs are awesome. Overall, KUDOS to awesome directing. I watched this movie 2-3 times and did not find any place where I could say this could not happen to me. I would say "Quartet Productions Pvt. Ltd." keep it up, there is striking contrast between last movie from the production "Let's Enjoy" and this. I am eagerly waiting for another movie like this.

I was skeptical about watching this one. But finally managed to convince myself and watched this one. And I didn't regret it.It is similar to a typical 7 pointer movie from Hollywood. Not much style not much hype - just a plain simple story. Its basically a story of a young call centre employee Nilesh who misses his last 1.40 am train. Then he meets a girl named Madhu and as the night unfolds itself into some unexpected events. And for the next two and a half hours we are subjected to games played by Nilesh's fate with him putting him into all sorts of trouble and at the same time getting him out of it unscathed. At the break of the day he is as the sole owner of 2.5 crores.The only problem was the acting. Abhay Deol seriously needs some acting lessons and same goes for Neha Dhupia.But overall an enjoyable and a one time movie !
