happened to catch LIM on TV recently. reminded me of how this movie was one of the turning points in Indian cinema. Like a train, cinema in India cannot turn at sharp angles - its has to gently change course - Life in a metro was one such subtle but important change in direction. No longer are the principle characters caricatures to be amused by - they could be the person sitting next to you or your own story. actors could blend in the populace. songs could blend in the narrative. audiences were assumed to have some intelligence & most importantly you can feel the presence of a director - Anurag Basu. In looking back this film will be remembered for its contribution to Indian cinema - particularly the parts played by Shilpa Shetty, Konkana Sen Sharma & Irrfan Khan. Hope to see many more such good films from Anurag
