gulzar, a well-known
bollywood poet, songwriter, and
director who won the coveted Sahitya Akademi Award, revealed the first look
poster for 8 A. M. Metro, which features the key actors.

strike up an unlikely friendship, in the process finding themselves and each other. I'm indebted to the icon that is
gulzar Saab and can't express how grateful I am for this selfless act.
Saiyami portrays Iravati, a 29-year-old housewife in the
movie whose routine life in Nanded is turned upside down when she needs to run to
hyderabad to care for her bedridden
pregnant sister. She goes to Gulshan's Preetam, a banker with more going on than meets the eye, to help her overcome recurrent panic attacks, and the two go on numerous excursions together, both physical and metaphysical, finding comfort in one another's presence.
