‘Last Train to Mahakali’, ek jhalak thi Anurag Kashyap ki soch ki jo aane waale samay mey Indian Cinema ka rukh badalne waali thi. Yeh unke dwara nirdeshit pehli film thi jiske liye budget to bahut kum tha hi saath hi equipments bhi udhaar ke the. Camera udhaar tab mila jab Anurag ne apne ek dost ko film mey role ka vaayda kiya. Tab tak ek lekhak k roop mey Anurag ki kuch pehchaan bani thi kyoki wo Ram Gopal Varma k liye kuch films ki scripts likh chuke the aur tab unki likhi Satya ko khoob tareefen mil rahi thi.
Kismat se tab Star Plus channel naye writers aur directors ko promote karti hui self contained short films ki ek series Star Bestsellers bana raha tha. Anurag k concept ko Star team ne haatho haath liya aur unhe poori chhut aur bada platform diya.
Film ki kahani ek journalist (Nivedita Bhattacharya) dwara sazayafta medical scientist (Kay Kay Menon) ki mulaqat se hoti hai jisko ek virus immunity drug banane ka junoon tha aur is kaam mey wo safalta ke kareeb bhi aa gaya tha par apne is kaam ki safalta k liye use apni banayi drug ka experiment insaano par karna tha jiski ijazat uske institute AIIMS ne nahi di aur college chhod kar wo alag prayog karne laga, is kram mey uske haatho kuch galtiyan aur apradh hue, par aakhirkaar uski drug ko jab success mili to uska medical subject (ek pagal aurat) gayab ho gaya aur wo kuch saabit nahi kar paaya. Ab journalist is Doctor ko insaaf dilana chahti hai. Film ka ant ek alag andaz mey natkiye ghatnakram se hota hai.
Kay Kay Menon aur Nivedita ka abhinay kamaal ka hai. Menon sahab k baare mey to waise ye kehne ki aadat ho gayi hai. Shayad isi kamaal ki wajah se Anurag Kashyap brand k ek sthai ghatak ho gaye Menon ji.Waise ye lovestory nahi hai par dono saath mey sehaj lagte hai (baad mey pata chala ki dono shaadishuda hai….he he). Baaki kirdaaro (Vijay maurya, Luvleen Mishra, Shrivallabh Vyas) k paas karne ko zyada kuch tha nahi par jitni bhi footage mili sabne prabhavit kiya. Film ka ek khaas feature jiska shrey jaata hai Natarajan “Nutty” ko, uski Cinematography, camera work hai jo darshak ko baandh kar rakhne mey aham bhoomika nibhata hai.
Awards & Recognition - Special Jury Award at the 8th Annual Star Screen Awards. In 2005, the film was one of the four short films screened at an event organized by Films Anonymous at Hyderabad.
