IND 2020 1hr 59mins Dir: Krishna Bhatt Starring: Priyal Gor and George Banks
In her quest to start a new life, a young Indian girl is unwittingly recruited into a shadowy espionage organisation
This Hindi language crime thriller is largely set in London, with the usual gratuitous shots of London stations appearing throughout. However, there is an odd and rather out of place sequence that takes place at Chinnor on the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway, and although we do not see any trains here we do get a somewhat blurry glimpse of the sole remaining Clayton Class 17 diesel. There is also a scene filmed in the former booking hall of the old Tilbury Riverside station. The film’s title literally translates to ‘Bad Name’ but is more of a term used to describe being notorious, disgraced, or stained by scandal. This movie should not be confused with the 2025 Punjabi language film, nor the 1966 Urdu language film from Pakistan that bear the same title.
In this aerial view of the Thames, Charing Cross station is located in the extreme bottom right with St. James’s Park and its lake above.
In this view from the London Eye, Charing Cross station can be seen again immediately to the left of the beautiful Priyal Gor
In this shot looking north down Pancras Road, the unmistakable edifice of St Pancras station is on the left.
A second or two later and the frontage to King’s Cross station, St. Pancras’ lowly neighbour, just creeps into view on the right
The preserved station at Chinnor, in all its finery
Behind Mohit Sehgal in this picture at Chinnor is the only survivng Class 17. It is a shame that all we get to see of this now unique locomotive is this blurry glimpse.

The scene ends with this more expansive view of Chinnor, showing the delightful little station building. The grounded coach body on the left is former Cambrian Railway No.247, a six-wheel, six-compartment second dating from 1895 now gainfully employed as a waiting room.
We close proceedings with this overall view of the former booking hall of the old Tilbury Riverside station, closed by British Rail in 1992.
