It appears there was no dedicated Holi Special train running specifically between Dadar and Sawantwadi Road in 2025 under the Bandra Terminus–category. However, Central Railway did operate multiple Dadar ↔ Sawantwadi Road Holi specials, but these were unreserved coaches only (General class), not reserved AC or sleeper services.

❌ Not a Reserved Holi Special (AC/Sleeper)
- The 01131/32 trains were entirely unreserved, no AC or sleeper coaches, and were not numbered as reserved reserved specials.
- The older 01163/64 reserved Holi specials between Dadar and Sawantwadi ran only in 2022, and were not scheduled in 2025.

⚠️ On Festival Train Reliability
- Festival special trains like these are given very low track priority, often leading to delays ranging from 6 to 12+ hours.
“Special trains… they have least priority … expect long delays.”
([turn0reddit15]) - These services are typically overcrowded, offer no pantry onboard, and are operated mainly to clear dense holiday traffic with minimal amenities.
✅ What This Means for Your Travel
If you’re looking for a reserved-ac sleeper experience with stations like Borivali or Dadar included, no such AC/Sleeper Holi Special operated between Mumbai and Sawantwadi Road in 2025.
Instead, consider:
- Regular reserved trains like Tutari Express (11003/11004) which run daily between Dadar and Sawantwadi Road, offering AC, sleeper, and general classes with higher reliability and buffet options.
([turn0search13]) - Use the 01131/32 unreserved specials only if you’re okay with general unreserved travel and flexible with timing.
