Against the backdrop of a destination wedding, two families try to save their respective empires, unbeknownst to each other

This Indian romantic-comedy whose name translates as ‘Magnificent’, features an interesting opening scene filmed on Cow Wath Bridge overlooking Goathland station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Present in the background are ex-LMS ‘Black Five’ 4-6-0 No.45428 Eric Treacy and ex-LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 No.60007 Sir Nigel Gresley in BR Blue.

Pankaj Kapur and Shahid Kapoor discuss the small matter of who’s at fault. This is Cow Wath bridge with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway stretching off into the distance.

Sadly, we do not get to see much more of the A4, but we are treated to this closer image of the ‘Black Five’ pulling out of Goathland and crossing the Eller Beck
