Rajdhani Express is an Indian Hindi-language film directed by Ashok Kohli. Produced by CineActs Production, Trueman Entertainment & SLA Impex Pvt Ltd, the film features tennis player Leander Paes in the lead role and marks his Bollywood debut alongside Jimmy Sheirgill, Puja Banerjee, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Gulshan Grover, Kiran Kumar, Mukesh Rishi, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sayali Bhagat, Achint Kaur and Shilpa Shukla. Paes' voice has been dubbed by actor Amitosh Nagpal.

The film follows a man who goes on the run to escape from his godfather, and in the process, boards the Mumbai-bound Rajdhani Express where he soon finds himself labeled a terrorist after some incidents prompt him to pull out a gun.

The film was released theatrically on 4 January 2013. It received largely unfavorable reviews, with some critics labeling the film an "unintentional comedy" while also criticizing the performances (especially Paes) and narration. The film bombed at the box office, grossing ₹0.35 crores.
