Movie Review: Life in a ..... Metro

Two weeks after having seen the film is probably not the best time to write a review. But who cares? I will give it shot.

I remember:

1. Sharman Joshi's track was a total let-down. I watched 'The Apartment' not too long ago and it is not a movie one forgets in a hurry. Moreover, that meant Kay-Kay Menon's track was also lost. Although I appreciate their wonderful performances the tracks could not keep me interested.

2. Why was Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali's track in the film? Is it to remind us that even at old age we need someone? And was it also to tell us that we should keep our promises to our loved ones? I thought this track was unnecessary.

3. For once we didn't have characters from different stories coming together. It was a movie which had stories which had people from different walks of life and stayed that way. Their paths were not forced to cross. Moreover, the flow of the film was very very smooth. Transitions from one track to the other were deftly handled. So the Anurag Basu did a great job of directing and writing this movie.

4. Great performance by the entire cast. Simply superb! Every actor and every star carries his or her own baggage. Kind of rare in a film like this.

5. Songs deserve a special mention. They are great.

RATING: 3/5
