Audience Reviews for Life in a ... Metro

Dec 30, 2007

It is a fresh concept for Bollywood viewers, but for non Bollywood? it might be little average. Set in Mumbai, metropolitan city in India - it shows different stories and characters, connected to each other. Some says its a rip off 'The Apartment', 'Love Story', what else? I think let it be, I liked it. The problems the character face do happens in real life, especially it depict Indian society pretty well. The actors did good, especially Irfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma; they are gifted actors. 6/10.
