No. Anurag Basu's METRO is not the stereotype love triangle. Two men wooing the same woman. Woman choosing one man. The martyr finds a gorgeous woman waiting at the next signal. A cameo by the next item girl. No. This is not the love fantasyland. It’s the Metro laid bare for you. Ruthless. Honest. Real.

We take a peek into the home of Shilpa Shetty and KK Menon. A lovely couple in the metro. A beautiful relationship ravaged by the city of dreams. Both fighting to keep their identities. And their love. A beautiful house. A little kid. The worldly pleasures of life. They have it all. But then reality strikes. It’s time for a wake up call.

If KK had given you goose pimples in Sarkar as the bad brother, his performance in Metro will wake up thousands of men in every Metro. Caught in the whirlwind of the modern world, KK will appeal to every man who’s fighting to realize his dreams keep his family together and secure his future.

While the dhol and the dhaak play outside, the Metro team is holed up in the location to meet the deadlines. Anurag Basu tells us that he is in the organizing committee of the Santa Cruz Durga Puja. But this year his family and friends will miss him. He is oblivious of the fact that the Bengalis biggest festival is at its peak all across town. But the real action for him is under the arclights.

But he corrects us. After a mad day behind the camera and some traumatizing emotional scenes with Shilpa, Anurag joined singer Abhijeet at Lokhandwala Durga Utsav in the middle of the night. For a round of Dhaak jugalbandi. That’s the spirit of the Metro. Undying. Relentless. Alive.

Behind the taut emotional scenes, there lies an amazing camaraderie between Shilpa and KK as they discuss each scene before enacting them. There’s no rattling off scenes for them. Sharing the screen for the first time, Shilpa and KK enjoy each moment. Their equation looks like they have been working together for years. The chemistry is spontaneous. Maybe that’s what the Metro does to people. Bring strangers closer. In even stranger situations.
