Writing after a long time. I generally do not comment on movies and books but then I could not resist myself after seeing "Life in a Metro". It’s such a safe bet to make movies like "Life in a Metro". No research, no story just figment of imagination. Show whatever you want under the camouflage of "oh yaa this is a true metro story, these days you can see this happening in society etc etc".
Did someone come to tell the story writer or the director about his or her story that he made into a movie. They just want to cash in the predisposition of people about metro city's life being bitchy, cut throat, sleazy, girls willing to get laid for promotion, boys performing all stratagems to get a better career, no one having good married life. Just want to ask these guys is life so bad !!!
What are they trying to show? What is the motive behind making the film? Well I must admit the movie is well made but the premise on which it is based is flawed. Its simply an unnecessary castle made by the filmmakers about something which he might not have ever seen or felt in metro cities. The viewer acceptance is a matter of research here. The simple explanation is that when you see a movie you say "Oh man this might be happening to someone" and take it as true. And then there would be these news articles by our "respected" jholachaap journalist writing columns for money about "When you see these kind of movies you would certainly say Oh I know someone like that, Oh this is so much close to my life, blah blah blah blah" .. Bullshit.
Anyway the movie was decent but the point the director was trying to convey was flawed and unrealistic as far as I am concern.
