Different emotions in a Metro life 
By Joginder Tuteja, November 23, 2006 - 12:23 IST
When you have actors like Shilpa Shetty, Shiney Ahuja, Kay Kay Menon, Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Sharman Joshi and
Kangana Ranaut coming together with Anurag Basu as a director, one thing that you can be assured is that performances would be
superlative in the film. A glimpse of the same is seen in the 90 seconds promo of this UTV film titled METRO that takes a viewer
through relationships based in cosmopolitan India.
Romance
Who said love cannot blossom after marriage; well with a different person!? After KANK and 'Bas Ek Pal', the emotion is
hardly considered a taboo and same happens for Shilpa Shetty too who gets into a romantic rendezvous with Shiney Ahuja. How
about some old fashioned yet beautifully subtle realization of love with Shilpa's flying umbrella in a rain and Shiney acting as a cool
Samaritan?

Anger
Romantic rendezvous is all fine but then there is always a home to return! And this is where one faces the reality, or rather
announces it as Shilpa and her screen husband played by Kay Kay Menon get into an argument. Watch out for some histrionics on
display here. With Kay Kay around, that's the least to be expected!
Greed
All I want is a lot of money....and some honey. This is what the character of Sharman Joshi is based on which works as an
executive in a call center. Never feeling shy about his love for money even while he is shy of expressing his true feelings to his lady
love, Sharman is seen with a twinkle in his eyes and tongue firmly in cheek as he explains the true value of money!
Love
Love. Now what's that? Ask Konkana Sen Sharma and she is certainly going to give an answer....and that too with a smile! After
all she is one woman here who is still looking for that elusive love...and a man, even if she is on the wrong side of the 30s. As she
changes from a bespectacled woman to a glamorous working woman of today, she encounters a man who even says 'I Love You'
with a straight face and asks in return "You Love Me?' with the same (lack of) intensity sans any display of emotions. The man is
Khan...Irrfan Khan! Will LOVE bloom here?
Lust
There is a sequence or two for the peeping toms as Kangna shares her most intimate moments while sharing an illegitimate
relationship with Kay Kay Menon. Affection, taunt and hurt are all rolled into one as she asks Kay Kay a question about bringing
her out for a night out!
Deception
Feeling of hurt is prevalent once more as Shilpa realizes that her marriage is on the rocks. And she tries to hide her emotions to the
best, but not to much avail...even though she claims that a marriage teaches one to act at the least. Yes, there is some pain visible
here indeed!
Happiness
But depression and pain cannot be for long, isn't that so? Especially when a woman realises that there is a world outside
home....and probably even a man. As she watches a movie while laughing her heart out with Shiney, Shilpa finds a bundle of
happiness in those small moments. Or were those small bits of happiness just making her moments bigger?
Jealousy
Can you have everything forever? Even when you have let it go off your hands yourself? This is one question that Kay Kay
certainly needs to answer before he asks Shilpa if she has slept around with Shiney! Meanwhile Konkana Sen Sharma too has her
reasons to be furious with Sharman as she believes that he is being a chauvinist!
One City Countless Emotions
Shots of Mumbai from different camera angles are shown at the beginning and end of the promo as numerous clippings of
characters in their happy and sad moments are interspersed. However what comes a surprise is the soulful background music
which comes straight from 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' where it was played number of times when Tanushree Dutta came on
screen!
In the end it is just apt for Irrfan Khan to sum up the essence of the story in a single line - "Rishety koyi guarantee card ke saath
thode hi aate hain!"
Coming this February 16th, METRO is one movie that may just pep up your Valentines!
