After hearing a good response for this movie by my fellow IMDb users I decided to watch this movie. The only actors who I knew in this movie were Shilpa Shetty and Dharmendra. I was familiar with Shiny Ahuja, Kangana, Konkona, and Irfan Khan, but that was it. So this movie was not really eye catching to me. But I am glad I watched it because it was good.
The movie talks about the dark side of Metro, sort of like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. This movie has multiple plots but it is presented well. The movie is about characters more than stories unlike the recent Salaam-E-Ishq. All the characters are somehow related to another, but the movie is about growth. However, characterization was weak for many of the characters. Also none of the actors share chemistry. So when you put two actors together, it looks a little fake. But I would recommend this movie to anyone.
The acting in this movie is great, but due to so many characters, none of the actors get as much scope as they are capable of. The star of this movie would easily be Shilpa Shetty. Given the most scope, she takes advantage of every scene in the movie, and gives one of her greatest career performances ever. She gets the most love from the audience and you will love her. Only flaw was that the character loses sympathy at the end.
Kay Kay Menon is pretty good. You won't like him, however you don't understand his motives at the end. Once again, characterization was weak. However one can say that the ending was in a way realistic. Kangana Rahut impressed me. She looked the part and she puts sympathetic performance. Sharman Joshi also impresses.
Konkona Sen Sharma was great but one can't but feel that this role was too perfect for Urmila that it was a killer seeing someone else in the role. Irfan Khan lets you laugh and proves why he is a favorite among critics. Dharmendra and Nafisa were decent, but they are too one dimensional. Also Shiny Ahuja also impressed me.
The music stands as a narration which puts a wonderful affect on the movie. My favorite song would have to be Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si even though all the songs are good. The movie is far from flawless, but there is something which makes the movie likable. I can't say this is one of the best films of the year, but I did find it enjoyable. The major flaw was the ending because it comes out of nowhere. But the acting lets you think otherwise. The movie develops its characters well, but their motives don't match their actions. Watch this movie for a good afternoon is all I can say.
