Inspiration drawn from "Un amour de femme" and "The Apartment", Life…In A Metro doesn’t quite manage to make a statement specific to its title (perhaps Mumbai city itself could have been used as a stronger character), it is a charming film that enthralls and emotes, leaving you with a smile. It falls in the grey, untapped area between mainstream and parallel (no pun intended) cinema – a film that dares to be real and filmy, dramatic, and funny, without overdoing it. Kudos to Anurag Basu for making an intelligible film that should be accessible and appreciable across a diverse audience. If we cannot appreciate this quality effort, we lose the right to crib about the dearth of quality in Hindi cinema.
Music played a vital role in the entire show.It's comeback of Rock in the form of beautiful Hindi lyrics. Also no group dance and foreign locations, and sans female voice makes it an offbeat movie. Cheers to Pritam Chakroborty.
