* The idea behind “METROPOLIS” :_____________________________________

The quality of being urban transcends beyond bricks and mortar. Urbanity is a test of human skills. It is a quest. It is a quench never satisfied. “METROPOLIS” is a portrayal of this meta reality. The history of humanity is a story of ceaseless migrations. The phenomenon of migrating from rural areas to urban areas is continuing since the dawn of history. Since ages, people are migrating to the “METROPOLIS” in search of a better future. This is the story of all of us. This is the story of urbanity.

The city gives hard knocks to everyone. In the fast paced urban space we seek for an existence, a continuous trial to fit in. The city has an ingrained quality of moulding people according to its needs. With the test of time, the continuous struggle for survival and the inevitable rat race associated with it transforms a ‘villager’ to a ‘city dweller’. The “METROPOLIS” teaches all of us to thrive on, to dream on and most importantly to live on.
