Review of Life in a Metro (2007) by Abdulkader A — 16 Dec 2008

This is an interesting movie. Showing the lives of contemporary Indians dealing with the challenges of a fast-paced life while trying to comply with old and powerful social rules (or family values). The production is top notch; the music is very catchy and modern; most actors performed well and convincing, but some details left unattended made me node my head a couple of times: too many predictive scenarios, the mean characters are very evil, and the good ones are very good, too good.

Something that could have improved my rating would be removing the bohemian singers in the middle of scenes (the guitar playing and riding a motorbike was too much) and the death scene (won't spoil it for you) was terrible!!! However, and as usual Super Konkona and Super Irrfan came to the rescue! the groom on the horse scene and the hug in the train completely took over my emotions and made me jump of joy! So overall, it is a good time pass, check it out.
