The Metropolis takes away more than it gives...agreed? Well! don't get offensive, I am in no mood of a survey. It is just that last week I came across Anurag Basu's latest flick "Life in a ...metro. I used to consider myself a marriage buff and a graduate of relationships, but believe me the impact that the film left on me has turned all the thoughts of my mind upside down. Is Life in a metro so rude, harsh and devastating? Love before marriage, Pre-marital sex, multiple sexes, extra marital affair....is this what a realationship brings with itself or is this the trendy definition of love?
The film Life in a metro.. in all the senses revolves around the real life, people and situations in a metro. Metros like Bangalore, Mumbai or Delhi bring with themselves multiplexes, skyscrapping shopping malls and great lifestyles but at the same time offers little time and space for love, trust and family. People in metro caught in the urban rat race tend to forget the very roots of love bondings and run after "casual love" (One night ---$ )that is easily accessible. People call this new culture as necessity but....in fact there may be hell to pay if this whole thing goes on. Be it Shikha alias Mrs. Ranjit Kapoor( Shilpa Shetty), Shruti ( Konkona Sen), Neha (Kangana Ranaut) or Rahul (Sarman Joshi)...everyone craved for love and struggled for it.
Wife gets her husband back accepting his alleged relationship with the other woman for the last two years and welcomes the 'pati parmeshwar' wholeheartedly forgetting his selfless love that she finds in a theatre actor, Shruit alias Ms. Virgin gets a x-rayed eyed bt caring husband, Neha and Rahul find solace in each other and the story ends thereafter.....leaving innumerable queries in mind.....
Do we really have to bear so much of pain to live with people whom we love and want to spend the whole life together........Well I am not ready for such a huge compromise.
As well goes a song of the film...
Berang si hai badi zindagi
Kuch rang to bharun
Main apni tanhayion ke vaaste, ab kuch to karun
zab mile thodi fursat
Khud se kar le mohabbat................

Dear Ms. Deepika Mala Mam, me too watched the movie "Life in a Metro" this past week. The plot of the movie revolves around the life in metros. Of course, what has been shown in the movie is reel life, not real, but one can't deny totally. Director Anurag Basu has tried to sum up many stories in the film and he got success too in portraying them nicely. Thank God, I am far away from such run for false name and fame.It's just the beginning what will happen in next 5 to 10 Almighty God knows better. Our part is just to save ourselves from such heinous culture, where there is no peace, only and only mental agony.
