Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

ajit Metro was a copy, but it was a good attempt. Overall average movie. Over-rated in Indian marketShiny Ahuja was ironically given a role of a actor, I mean come his acting talent was exposed in the film itself. There was some theater scene inserted some where making no sense.Shiny got chance to show some muscles(And I guess director tried to cash on it too, cause shiny don't have any thing but muscles) KK and Joshi did good job.I never understood what director tried to do with Shilpa Shetty. He gave that small erotic sex seen to get some audience and again realized someone should have some character left. Just to cash on the feminist wave in India led by those K series, Converted her to a typical Indian lady or a goddess. Due to Big Brother she was already in the frame of goddess it helped a movie a lot. Neha was a complete blunder and so was her acting. These parallel story plots are difficult to handle and I don't expect a sound ending of such plots from a Indian director as these concepts in itself are difficult to copy. {Especially when some director want to modify it to a extent where people debate about copying}in other words{Especially when some director wants to modify/change names of characters}I guess Bollywood is recruiting MBAs more than Artists

HeadleyLamarr I saw two Anurag Basu movies almost back to back - Gangster and LIA Metro. I wish there was some way to put the best of these films together and make an awesome film. Gangster had a taut script and did not have as much disconnect as Metro, but Metro had some fine performances and great music.Metro is centered around an apartment that belongs to Rahul (Sharman Joshi) and he is happy to loan the keys to all and sundry for an edge up the career ladder. Sound familiar? Of course it should, there was a great film called The Apartment with exactly this theme where Jack Lemmon played the beleaguered employee who had to spend cold nights outside while his bosses "used" the apartment. And Rahul loves Neha (Kangana Ranaut) from afar only to find that she is one of the girls the boss Ranjeet (Kay Kay Menon) takes to the apartment. In the original this role of a vulnerable career girl was played by the incomparable Shirley McLaine and Kangana tries to channel her for all she is worth. Now to make his story original Mr. Basu flails about and adds on many other stories - Ranjeet has an ignored wife Shikha (Shilpa Shetty) who meets a man Akash (Shiny Ahuja) on a train/bus and starts to fall for him. Shikha's sister Shruti (Konkona Sen Sharma) shares an apartment with Neha and is pining for love to happen to her. After some Page 3 type mis-steps (date is gay) she falls for Monty (Irrfan Khan). Confused? Wait there is more - Shikha and Shruti's mom Shivani (Nafeesa Ali) meets up with her old flame Amol (Dharmendra) and he busts her out of some place she is not allowed to leave.So these pieces ebb and flow in the ocean that is Mumbai and we see a slice of working class life in the metro. Whenever there is a poignant moment there is a beautiful song that no main character sings. Instead we have a flea bitten trio of singers who do the honors. This is right out of Something about Mary - worked there, but here it is hokey to the extreme and the dudes are very annoying. They totally ruin the fine music in the film.Direction is okay I guess - there are some blood red moments when Shilpa is about to do the deed (will she?) - I felt like I was back in Black Friday. The film is very dark and moody and the cinematography is quite excellent.Now for the best part of Metro - the acting. In order of my preference - Kay Kay plays the cad husband and heartless boss very well. But why does he breakdown when he comes back home? Neha leaving him makes that profound a difference? That is just not believable, but his caddish behavior after Shikha confesses is spot on! Irrfan is awesome as the socially inept male who cannot keep his eyes on the right spot. His horse-ride is filmy but hilarious. Next up is Shaman Joshi - he has the best role and does an excellent job as the career guy who suffers the consequences of his own thoughtless actions. Konkona is competent - she does this job well but this is really not a meaty enough role for her. Same goes for Shiny - not much of a role, but well done. Shilpa is okay - I found her trying hard to express sorrow and remorse and happiness but not being very natural in her attempts. In that sense I felt that though Kangana played the same role yet again she was good in her role. However - she needs to improve her diction. And last but not least we have Nafeesa Ali and Dharmendra - I wish Anurag had chopped off a few of the inane bits and given us more of this duo - they tugged at your heart strings and were simply beautiful. Inexplicable why she dies and why she could not leave her "home" etc. but I did not care.So all in all I think Gangster (in spite of Emraan Hashmi) was a better flick - more focused and touching. But Metro is a decent watch for the ensemble cast that all perform well.

tusharrr Firstly heartiest congratulations to Anurag & his team for providing us a different recipe. A tight screenplay revolving around 8-9 characters.It is well mixed,minced & garnished with some sufi band. Life of metro citizens revolves around wealth,women & wretched ambitions . They tend to get wild running after these things This has been rightly depicted by the movie. Traditional values like fidelity & virginity donot come in the way of these guys when they wish to fulfill these 3Ws. One novel highlight of this movie was sizzling Nafisa ali .Though i am in my early 30s i found her the best out of all the ladies in the film. Did anyone feel the same?
