The little Godfather is a story of the common man's will to survive in the face of adversity.

It brings the message of hope and determination to the teeming masses of our nation.
In the veins of the Mumbai local trains flow the blood of crime, slime and romance.
Young Shivaji (Suraj Berry), a reformed pickpocket, now a train hawker, enjoys the trust of the local police for being their reliable informer; has become a thorn in the flesh of the pickpocket gang he once was a part of.
Nevertheless, The Notorious Pickpocket Gang continues to make hay robbing unaware passengers, while the regulars, the hawkers and various survival artists aboard are packed into their daily grind, engrossed in the hilarious one liners, fragrances, colors and music that ploughs through the compartments.
Shivaji's constant battle to protect his flock of transformed delinquent juveniles from the claws of the gangs has made him their "little Godfather". Although he has managed to figure out the pulse of this fast paced life, he is unable to set his mind on the future and heart on a special commuter, Shakuntala, a beautiful college student.
Trouble begins when Ali, one of Shivaji's reformed pickpocket boys, befriends a stranger Feroz (Shahnawaz Khan) who is rumored to be either a drug peddler or a contract killer operating under the guise of a cloth merchant from out of town. Worse still, Shivaji and Ali "air" their differences in front of the boys causing a rift that nearly destroys the group!
Shivaji at his lowest is ambushed by the same pickpocket gang, wanting to get even and settle earlier scores. With pressure mounting from all quarters, he holds the weight of the world on his shoulders trying to balance his heart, his friends and his life.
Shivaji and the city are stunned when seven bombs rip apart the Mumbai local trains in the worst terrorist attack on the Indian subcontinent. Rubble and chaos on the news, despair and tragedy break through all along the tracks; the city is in panic, with the number of casualties rising by the minute.
The worst is yet to happen. Shivaji and Ali (Angad Bedi) learn of a bomb waiting to blow up on another crowded local, crawling into Borivali Station. The 8th bomb courier is none other than, Feroz. Shivaji and his little warriors have a mission.
The clock ticks, the stakes are at an all time high, as a heart-wrenching piece of drama unfolds their bonding, sacrifices and determination with their character is put to the ultimate test to protect their home, office, fellow commuters and above all their mother - The Train.
A moment captured in time, a moment when heroes are Born.
