Storyline

The lives of a group of people, who live in Mumbai are told in this tale, which revolves around Rahul - who occupies an apartment owned by his uncle, and lets rich and influential people use it for their personal sexual past-times. An ignored and angry young wife, Shikha falls into the arms of a young man named Akash, who wants to be an actor for Indian movies; then there is Shikha's sister, Shruti, who is having an affair with a man named Monty; and finally there is Shikha's teacher, Shivani, who is romancing Amol. Things get complicated when Rahul finds out that Neha, who is his girlfriend, is using this very apartment to meet with Ranjeet, who is Shikha's husband. Written by Sumitra (corrected by Calista)

Nice but not great
18 May 2009 | by (India) – See all my reviews

Anurag Basu's GANGSTER is his best work so far LIFE IN A METRO is however though not bad but not up to the expectations Must say though it comes across as a nice episodic film unlike other such attempts like SEI

let's analyze the different stories

Kaykay- Shilpa, Kaykay- Kangana and Shiny- Shilpa

Believable but done to death on TV and other kinda films Shiny- Kangana affair is well handled and so is Shiny- Shilpa but the culmination is faulty Acting- Kaykay is fantastic as usual, Shilpa is great Shiny doesn't get a strong role, he is okay Kangana looks nice and acts well though she doesn't get a lengthy role

Irrfan- Konkona Their story is well handled and actually the mainstay of the film The scenes between Irrfan- Konkona are truly fantastic The gay relationship by her boyfriend though is similar to PAGE 3 Irrfan steals the show with his timing, he is out of the world Konkona is fantastic

Dharmendra- Nafisa Ali Nice moments between the 2 old couples Dharmendra is nice while Nafisa is okay

Sharman- Kangana Though copied from THE APARTMENT yet it is well handled though predictable Sharman excels in a serious role and shows his versatility Manoj Pahwa is okay
