New Indian Models

[mohit]

With the backdrop of a metropolitan city, Anurag Basu’s ‘Life in a Metro’ attempts to demonstrate the conflicts of the practical and the emotional sides of the human mind. And it commendably succeeds in its attempt.

The director employs seven complex characters to narrate his story but expresses his vision very lucidly. Metro is one of those films that do not differentiate between the leading hero and the supporting actor with all characters having equal significance in the story. Akash (Shiny Ahuja) forms an informal bond with Shikha (Shilpa Shetty) and finds solace in her company despite knowing that she is married to Ranjeet (Kay Kay Menon). Ranjeet on the other hand has an illicit affair with his office subordinate Neha (Kangna Ranaut) sans any emotional bonding. Rahul (Sharman Joshi) who works in the same company is attracted to Neha but is oblivious to the fact that he is lending keys of his flat to his boss who is using the venue to sleep with the girl Rahul has been dreaming about all this while. Then there is Shikha’s sister Shruti (Konkona) who is still a virgin at 30 and is unproductively hunting for prospective grooms through marriage portals. One such unique sample piece she encounters through the matrimonial service is Monty (Irrfan Khan). In a parallel story, a sexagenarian Amol (Dharmendra) reunites with his college ex-flame Vaijanti (Nafisa Ali) for a live-in relationship.
