Life In A Metro

In his 30s, Ranjeet is married to Shikha with a 6-year-old son. Shikha is very well educated and was a better student that Ranjeet. But they decided that she should stay back at home and take care of the house and the kid. So Ranjeet ventured out on his quest for money and success... and forgot his family somewhere on the way. Bitterness and boredom crept into their relationship. Soon he found solace and a fresh lease of life in Neha. An exciting, non-committal relationship based on sex.

Neglected by an indifferent husband and bogged down by family chores, Shikha is soon attracted to a maverick in Akash. A loser and a rebel without a cause, Akash is a struggling theatre artist whose wife divorces him... because she cannot stand his failures anymore. Akash and Shikha's love blossoms and she almost crosses her limits that she has so fervently guarded all these years.

    Brilliant, worth watching..

    This movie is all about emotions and relationships in which we all are intertwined in a social system. Among so many characters in this movie you can identify your own character somewhere in them....love, hate, illicit relationships, strained marital relationships, friendships, guilt, remorse, anger...there're so many facets to their lives that you can easily equate yourself to one of them. It is a piece of very mature film making, well directed, all characters playing their roles with utmost professionalism and is a joy to watch from start to finish. This movie did not do good in box office and I can understand why. The majority of film goers look for a story, a finale, songs and dance and other ingredients of a masala film and this movie has none of these. It is not a typical Bollywood OTT film but an account of an everyday Mr and Mrs everage coping with relationships and emotional turmoils in life. The movie starts with a more bizarre mix of different relationships which eventually boils down to four couples trying to handle their strained relationships and in many ways related to each others , and becomes more and more clear as the movie progresses. My only gripe is the comic part in the end of the movie which was unnecessary and tried to go on a more Bollywood style humor but on the whole I enjoyed every minute of this movie, and would recommend to anyone who wants to see a more mature type of Indian movie and not just a song and dance mish mash. And oh yes, it was joy to see Dharmindra again in a very moving role....
