==Plot==<br />
Rosie Perreira is an overly anxious widow, living with her violin-obsessed son, Sabby and a lovely daughter, Nancy whom she would like to marry a wealthy young man. Her brother and neighbour, Tom introduces a young eligible Tony Braganza to Nancy on the 9:10 AM Western Railway local train from [[Bandra railway station|Bandra]] to [[Churchgate railway station|Churchgate]]. Tom also asks Nancy to introduce Tony to Rosie, which she does. Rosie is initially apprehensive about him as he only drawing a mere Rs.300/- compared to Nancy's Rs.700/-, but soon changes her mind when she finds out that after his probationary period he will draw a monthly pay of Rs.1,000/-. Nancy and Tony are permitted to meet and both eventually fall in love. While Nancy has a past where she was betrayed by a boy whom she loved, she still likes Tony. Tony is hesitant, and this is what costs him Nancy's love, as Rosie feels that he will not come through with the marriage. And soon Rosie starts looking elsewhere for a son-in-law. Nancy does not like this, but she at first accepts her mum's wishes. Nancy and Tony have a fight and stop meeting each other on the train as well. When Tom learns about this, he speaks to Tony's father. Tony's father tells Tony that if he is still reluctant to make a commitment, he should tell Nancy about it. So Nancy and Tony meet each other and Nancy tells him that she will never meet him again. It is then that Tony feels that he actually loves Nancy and cannot live without her. Then Nancy also confesses her love for him and they marry.<br />
