There is something about metro..


Its summer time out there. Lots of free time as im stuck to do research work(which I dont do anyway) in the university without doing an internship(not eligible too officially). Basically, can manage to do all the shit things to pass time and so came to watch this movie recently, Life in Metro. Although there isnt anything special about it overall, it appeared to be really interesting, worth-watching and one of the few recent hindi movies i appreciated..(yeah, thats the reason im shitting about it down here).

Corporate life, bored housewife, extra-martial affair, dating problems, closet homosexual..what not..it has all the variety of elements that keeps us stick back to seats, all kinds of 21st generation life problems decently interwoven together to express a holistic view of how the contemporary life is, running along with the context-related background tracks sufficient enough to make the film not-so-boring and not-any-other-bollywood movie style. May be its because of Kay-kay who can make a stupid scoundrel with so much ease or may be its the flair of Irfan khan in a typical bengali accent(he also did this in Namesake) or Shiney Ahuja innocent love character suits so much to his body language or because of sharman-kangana-KK mess which lies at the heart of the story(though its copied from an old english movie called The Apartment) or konkon sharma hard dating experiences or even because of the fact that shilpa shetty's strength to cry in the movie for a decent amount of time. Each character cant help themselves, but Dharmendra-nafisa ali relationship was too much to the movie. Although not a stellar cast,the state-of-the-art successful characters did spell some magic to it along with anurag basu, the director. The true meaning of "love, sex, marriage and more importantly relationship" portrayed in a serious and realising manner, though you will intermittenly snicker and giggle, the main reason why I appreciated it and why it falls under my worth-watching list.
PS: kangana ranwat is hot in the movie, sure will help her earning more fans.
