Life In A METRO - review !!!


Life in a metro is fun, thrilling, dangerous, unfaithful, fast-paced, confusing, boring, monotonous, sad... and the list goes on to cover up almost every emotion that a human mind and face can express. I know what it takes to live and work in an indian metro coz i am going through it. Every person in this city has created his own space to live in, not only in terms of the land-space but emotional and personal spaces as well. And thats exactly what Anurag Basu has exploited upon in his latest release "Life In A METRO". He has explored into the lives of a few people who are lost in this ruthless metro life and has delivered his findings in an aesthetically wonderful way. The very essence of a metro city like mumbai like travelling in local trains, waiting in bus-stops, and working in call centers and the media industry has been excellently carved out on the reels. The star cast of the movie couldn't have gotten any better. Each and every character well deserves an appreciation of its own. Shilpa Shetty, Konkana Sen, Sharman Joshi, Irfan Khan, Shiny Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut have all acted their ways out to glory. Watching Dharmendra on big screen after a long time is a gift to our eyes. Nafisa Ali truly deserves to start her old-age movie roles from this one. In brief, the star cast has exceeded what the public had expected. The new concept of an indian rock band playing live on the screen for every song has ignited a new revolution to the bollywood music scene. The music and songs are well placed for the screenplay and the situations. "Alvida" and "In Dono" would definitely make u feel lighter and groove with it... Every man and woman living in a metro today can relate himself or herself with some part of the movie and thats why this movie captures the minds of each individual seated in those multiplex seats. All you metro-life-freaks, this one is just the right movie for you to hit it when u break out from work on weekends. I consider this one as one of the best commercial bollywood movies of recent times. Before you get carried over by the metro times and back to the rapidly changing life, go grab the tickets and popcorns to enjoy this beautiful depiction of Life In A METRO.
Kabir's Review Team rates "LIFE IN A METRO": 4.5/5 (records broken)
