Take 20 rs ticket to Ghatkopar-15 min ride with frequency every 10 min. Go down the stairs at Ghatkopar metro station to directly platform 3 to get Fast local to kalyan-36 min, if u have time go to platform 1 for slow local - 56 min. DOnt mind the local ticket if you have ticket from cstm to hyderabad. Only be careful about the rush not peak though.

A lot of daily passengers board the train Solapur onwards and this continues till Hyderbad, though the volume keeps decreasing as you get closer to hyderabad. seen this in sleeper coach. People will take up your seat if you leave for the washroom or to stretch. but will vacate when asked.

Punctuality is poor after entering Hyderabad or crossing Lingampali. Halts frequently and slows down to a frustrating speed towards Begampet and beyond while reaching Deccan/Nampally.
