A video of a man loudly urging Thane-bound passengers to move forward and queue up near the door of a crowded Mumbai local train coach has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from the internet.
The man, identified as Adhikari Kulprasad Ramnath, was travelling on the second-class general coach of a Central Railway train when he decided to scream and record a reel. He captured some visuals from the packed coach with his dramatic noisy appeal.
The clip, which surfaced on Instagram, opened with Ramnath, who appears slightly older and wears glasses, adjusting his phone camera in the middle of a jam-packed coach. Slighting raising from his seat, he then loudly addresses fellow passengers, "Thane wale aage jao bhai fir chalne ko utarne ko milega nahi bhai (Thane passengers, move forward or you won’t get space to walk or get down)".

After finishing his announcement, he pretended to be surprised about his camera recording him. "Arey video ban gaya kya? (Oh, did a video get created?), he said, followed by a quirky burst of laughter.
