BollySpice's 'Life in a...Metro' Movie Review
12 May 2007 - 68 Views - Aly |
| Within a city, each individual is constantly on the move. While it may seem robotic, each person has an objective and a story to tell. On face-value each person seems to be in their own little world. However, even amongst the chaos of a city, it’s quite a small world, and this is exactly the note on which Life in a…Metro takes off. It follows the lives of six people in a city and delves deep into the gut of their souls to project a panorama of emotions that are scattered around metro life. With Anurag Basu (Murder, Gangster) at the helm, UTV as producer, and Pritam as a music director, does Life in a…Metro land safely? To an extent, yes, with major blemishes along the way.

It’s time for a multi-story package again; this time, it comes loaded with the chutzpah of a Woody Allen movie, only the focus shifts from the avenues of Manhattan to the streets of Mumbai.
Anurag Basu’s Metro is all about living and loving for six couples in the city of opportunities. Read More... |
Radiosargam's 'Life in a Metro' Movie Review
11 May 2007 - 48 Views - Aly |
| The tale of ‘One City, Countless emotions’ works. Director Anurag Basu is a story teller who has a rare talent of putting a story in the right frame for his viewers to visualize. Life in a…Metro has a very complex dimension given to the word ‘love’. The story is knitted with a lot of tales and fancies that happen in any urban city. Read More... |
Apunkachoice's 'Life In a Metro' Movie Review
11 May 2007 - 434 Views - Aly |
Anurag Basu keeps getting better at his job. After a hard-hitting ‘Gangster’, the skilled filmmaker now comes up with Metro , a realistic and riveting film with cinematic standards at par with international cinema.
In ‘Metro’, Anurag does convincingly what other filmmakers in Bollywood have been clumsily trying lately. He tells a multi-layered story revolving around several characters. Each story is stacked with another in a meaningful, well thought way. The characters in each story are somehow connected to character(s) in another. And in this way the multi-narrative story moves on, with each subplot complementing the other, until the movie reaches a high point in the end. Read More... |
A fair two-hour treat
11 May 2007 - 52 Views - Aly |
| There's been more than a dozen since Mani Ratnam's Yuva (or more likely, Alexandro Innaritu's patented Amores Perros). Some entirely forgettable, and of course, unwatchable (Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi, Delhii Heights, Hattrick). Some hard to forget for reasons unintended (Salaam-e-Ishq, Traffic Signal). And just a few compelling enough to entirely merit the long appointment (Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, Just Married, Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota). All of them have appeared merely in the past few months or weeks. 'Several pictures for the price of one' is evidently the current Hindi film-ticket formula. Read More... |
Glamsham's 'Life in a Metro' Movie Review
11 May 2007 - 45 Views - Admin |
| Life in a metro is not all about sex, seduction, deceit, infidelity, climbing up the corporate ladder using unfair means and boring marriages. Certainly, life in a metro is much more than all that director Anurag Basu tries to portray. Perhaps, he is trying to cater to just one segment of society! Read More... |
There's Something about 'Metro'
11 May 2007 - 49 Views - Aly |
Anurag Basu returns to the big screen with India's first well-crafted multi-narrative film, after more than a dozen directors have burnt their hands trying to go all Amores Perros on our unsuspecting audiences. Metro is a crisp, smartly made film featuring a well-tuned ensemble cast and an appropriate soundtrack. Overall, it works.
But, there's something a bit jarring about it, something that doesn't go down too well. And I can't quite put my finger on it. Read More... |
