Life in a Metro

Yesterday i watched the movie "Life in a metro". The direction of the movie was very nice, plot was quite interesting and acting was really good. Overall it was a nice story shown beautifully. But then that's what it was - a nice story. I don't think we can say it was a very true story or we should discuss that the things which were shown are quite common now a days in India. I don't agree with that. I have lived in Delhi and Chennai for more than 5 years in total but i don't think the things shown in the film is quite common. But then, if the things were so common, it will be a subject of "news channel" and not a movie.
But now after saying, that after all it was a "STORY", let's think about it. In the movie, none of the character (other than Irfan khan) is satisfied with his/her life. That's good enough. (No sane person should be satisfied with his life;) ). But the problem is either they don't know why they are unsatisfied(KK Menon) or they are choosing the wrong means to achieve their dreams.
I was not quite happy with end of the film. I didn't want Shilpa to return to her husband who is not only unfaithful to her also not respects her. And he never realised that he was wrong.Why should you stay with a person who is nothing but a life sucker? and that too, when you might have a better choice. Also, it's more than 2 years of suffering.
One more thing was the way movie represents the call center life and easily available sex in the city. It seems anyone can sleep with anyone in the metro. We should understand that the people working in the call center are not "call-boys" or "call-girls" कि एक promotion पाने के लिए या महज कुछ increment के लिए हर कोई किसी के भी साथ सोने को तैयार है। साथ ही एक बात और कि is sex really so important or enjoyable कि आप अपनी पुरी बसी बसाई दुनिया, अपनी इज़्ज़त दांव पर लगाने को भी तैयार हैं? You are ready to loose your job, your family and the respect (if u have) just to sleep with someone?
