Life in a Metro (2007)

What's it about:

           Set in Mumbai, the film deals with the lives of people who are stuck in matters of love, family and relationships.
       Amol and Shivani are an elder couple who re-unite after 40 yrs to spend their twilights together. Rahul is an ambitious young man who goes to the extent of lending his flat to his office seniors so that he can get some money through promotion, for his dream restaurant.  Shikha has a troubled family life and she finds solace in a struggling theater actor. Shikha’s husband has an affair going on with Rahul’s one side love Neha. Neha’s roommate and Shikha’s sister, Shruti is looking for her ideal man and she finally finds her match in Monty, a naïve good-at-heart man.
    All the characters are connected in one way or the other and the film is basically a relationship drama. 

                                                                             
Hits
  • Some natural acting from all the actors. The film has a huge ensemble cast.
  • Irfan Khan leads the pack with his innocent portrayal of Monty.
  • Shilpa Shetty impresses with her acting skills as well, for a change and she looks absolutely smoking hot in that one moment of closeness she has with her lover. 
  • The songs are all melodious
Misses
  • The climax is in total contrast with the realistic nature of the film. It is quite funny and dramatic and sticks out sorely
  • The gang of 3 performers who come in each song, becomes repetitive
VERDICT
A serious, watchable relationship movie.
