    Some relations are truly beyond a name!

    #8amMetro Such a feel good and positive movie I watched after long time kudos to @gulshandevaiah and #sayami for brining the life to preetam and iravati.

    Script with its twists awakens one's subtle emotions...acting penetrates the soul...very hard to find these days!

    The film was an absolutely joy in its celebration of the mundane, of commonness, of the unpredictable sources of unconditional understanding that still makes us hopeful. Sprinkled all over with the beautiful poetry by Gulzaar saab. So many times I wanted to rewind back so that I could hear the poem once again.

    This story is about the many faces of love. Our society burdens love. There are layers and layers of prescription on what, whom and how to love, what is acceptable, pre-fabricated expectations just like schooling, what to become in life, the successful images of a happy family where everything fits into pre-existing slots. The relationships become so stretched, subjected to litmus tests over and over again, that the radiation harms more than the disease, that it continuously snaps at the seams, resembling a worn out sheet, patched several times over. And worse still, it undermines friendship. Once married, that role assigns and dominates the place of all other relationships.

    Trauma stricken strangers on a train develop friendship

    This movie is not for all types of audiences since it deals with two trauma stricken persons who meet and discuss their personal problems with each other over cups of coffee and have endless conversation as they take long walks. Iravati a mother of two has come to look after her pregnant niece in hospital. Preetam an office goer has a wife and two children. They meet at the train station and develop a friendship. Both are have their own trauma to deal with, are withdrawn, introverted, sad, pensive, bitter and nothing seems to be going well in their lives. They find relief and happiness in each other's company while discussing general problems of life. Some among the audience may find viewing this movie a moving and a therapeutic experience.

    Director Raj Rachakonda has a serious subject at hand and his two main characters have sorrowful and gloomy expressions for most of duration because they have been through a lot of bad experiences in life. There are bits of dialogue which are motivational in nature and there is a message for all like he tells her to do deep breathing when she has a panic/ anxiety attack, she tells him to talk to a colleague to cheer him up, he wants to attend a cremation to atone for his faults, both dance in the rain for a few happy moments etc etc. There are a few light moments but the overall mood is of stress and distress. Both Gulshan Devaiah and Saiyani Kher have given fine performances.

    Truly Mesmerizing

    8 A. M Metro is an well crafted simple Movie based on critical relationship between two unknowns. The Movie is not having typical stuffs like Actions, VFX, drama, thrill, but revolves around strong acting portrayed by Saiyami & Gulshan and other supporting actiors. With it's well crafed dialogue, the Movie intends to deliver a strong message to the society and indeed an eye-opener .

    It revolves around a complex relation between two persons accidentaly met in a Metro Station and therefore, finds their own means for their living.

    From the Movie plot to superb Acting, awesome Direction, amazing poems (Unparallel contributions from@Gulzar) , touching songs(@Robin), Overall composer and flow of the plot, it is a movie to watch in the Year 2023. May not be comnercial success in Theatre but a must-see for the OTT when it would be released.

    Kudos to the team for delivering such a gem of a movie in the era of sci-fi, VFX ..
