Life In A Metro Movie -

The film borrows its structural soul from the Mexican movie Amores Perros , weaving together nine lives that intersect in a local train compartment. However, Basu gives the story a distinct Indian flavor. The plot isn't just about connections; it is about the lack of them. From extramarital affairs to the desperation for career breaks, the screenplay tackles "modern" problems that were just beginning to be openly discussed in Indian society at the time.
