Metro Studios: Delhi & NCR's BEST Film Production? (You Decide!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Metro Studios: Delhi & NCR… allegedly the BEST Film Production house in the whole darn place. Now, I'm no filmmaking guru, I barely know my dolly from my donut, but I DO know a thing or two about a good hotel review. And let me tell you, this one's gonna be a wild ride.
First, a disclaimer: I'm not actually staying at the fictional hotel Metro Studios (though the idea is brilliant, someone get on that!), but instead, I'm reviewing the idea of it, based on the insane list of amenities you've chucked at me. Prepare for chaos, folks.
Accessibility? Oh, They Got It! (Almost Overwhelmingly)
Okay, so let's tackle the Accessibility stuff first because, frankly, it's the right thing to do. Metro Studios, the hotel of my dreams (remember, fictional!), seems to be obsessed with being accessible. Wheelchair accessibility? Check. Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? You betcha. Looks like they've thought of everything. Bravo! You can practically feel the good intentions radiating from this place.
Internet? Are We Sure They Don't Have an Internet Overload? (Seriously!)
Okay, here’s the thing. Internet at a hotel is KEY. I need Wi-Fi like I need oxygen – especially when I'm on a "research trip" (ahem, writing my review). Metro Studios is practically shouting about its internet:
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Okay, good start.)
- Internet! (Okay, still good.)
- Internet [LAN]! (Wait, did you just yell that at me?)
- Internet services! (Is there a whole ISP?!)
- Wi-Fi for special events! (They plan to have Wi-Fi at a party?! Wow )
- Wi-Fi in public areas! (Finally!)
Honestly, I'm starting to suspect they have an entire back room just dedicated to servers. They might even have an internet butler!
Cleanliness: Are We Talking Sterile? (Hopefully!)
Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. In the era of COVID-19 (which, let's be honest, will be around forever), cleanliness is everything. Metro Studios seems to be going full-on germaphobe. Again, it's probably a good thing. Check it out:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? YES!
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Excellent.
- Hand sanitizer? Essential.
- Hygiene certification? Very reassuring.
- Individually-wrapped food options? Smart.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Important.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services? Okay, they're not messing around.
- Room sanitization opt-out available? That's a nice touch.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? Standard, but essential.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Please!
- Staff trained in safety protocol? Good.
- Sterilizing equipment? OMG- they really care.
They might be more concerned with this than with making a great film. But hey, I'm not judging. I'm relieved!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Feast of a Foodie (Or a Glutton, Depending)
Oh, boy. This is where it gets fun, and kinda overwhelming. Here's where Metro Studio seems to go a teensy bit haywire with all the goodies:
- A la carte in restaurant: Awesome
- Alternative meal arrangement: Cool
- Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant: Fine by me -- I need my noodles!
- Bar: Yep.
- Bottle of water: Lifesaver.
- Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant: YES, feed me!
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop: I'm in heaven.
- Desserts in restaurant: Gotta try them all.
- Happy hour: Sounds like a good time.
- International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants: So many choices, I don't know what to pick!
- Room service [24-hour]: This is going to be dangerous.
- Salad in restaurant: Gotta balance things out, right?
- Snack bar: Always handy.
- Soup in restaurant: Sounds good.
- Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Something for everyone.
The Verdict (So Far): This is the kind of place you'd gain a few pounds just by looking at the menu.
Services and Conveniences: Is this place a Hotel or a City?
Here's where Metro Studios goes totally bonkers -- in a good way! They have EVERYTHING. If you manage to leave this place to go to the actual city, I would be shocked.
- Air conditioning in public area, audio-visual equipment for special events, business facilities, cash withdrawal, concierge, contactless check-in/out, convenience store, currency exchange, daily housekeeping, doorman, dry cleaning, elevator, essential condiments, facilities for disabled guests, food delivery, gift/souvenir shop, indoor venue for special events: You get the idea…
- Outdoor venue for special events
- Projector/LED display
- Safety deposit boxes
- Smoking area
- Terrace
- Wi-Fi for special events
- Xerox/fax in business center
For the Kids: Kid-Friendly? More Like "Kid-Paradise"!
If you're dragging the kiddos along (God bless you), Metro Studios is a dream. Babysitting? Check. Family/child friendly? Double-check. Kids' facilities and meals? Triple-check. You might lose them in the fun. The kids will love it.
Access, Safety, and Security: Fortress Metro?
CCTV everywhere? Express check-in/out? Fire extinguishers? Front desk 24/7? Soundproof rooms? Like a fortress!
Getting Around: They'll Get You Everywhere!
Airport transfer? Bicycle parking? Car park? Taxi service? Valet parking? They've got you covered.
Available in All Rooms: Home Away From Home (But Like, a Really Fancy Home)
Okay, the room amenities are EXHAUSTIVE: additional toilet, air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathroom phone, bathtub, blackout curtains, carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, high floor, in-room safe box, interconnecting room(s) available, internet access – LAN, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, on-demand movies, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, safety/security feature, satellite/cable channels, scale, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens.
Overall?
Metro Studios, in theory, seems like a fantastic place. Almost too good. It's trying so hard to be everything to everyone, and frankly, that's a little exhausting. But hey, who am I to complain about choices?
My Honest Opinion:
If this place were real, I'D BOOK IT. Immediately. Though, I'd probably need a week just to figure out how to use everything.

Alright, buckle up buttercups and grab a chai (or a large, judgmental coffee, I won't judge), because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, chaotic mess that is Metro Studios, Delhi, and NCR. This ain't gonna be your sanitized, Instagram-perfect itinerary. This is real life, people. Prepare for dust, delightful chaos, and me, potentially losing my mind a little.
Day 1: Arrival and the Delhi Decibel – A Sensory Overload, Baby!
Morning (7:00 AM): Okay, landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Pray to the travel gods you actually land. I'm already sweating. Immigration? Ugh. Always a gamble. Remember that one time in… well, never mind. Let’s just say I might have slightly flustered the officer with my excessive enthusiasm for passport stamps.
Morning (8:30 AM): Pre-booked a driver. Smart move, me. Navigating Delhi traffic on your own after a god-awful flight? Suicide mission. The ride to the hotel, maybe the Le Meridien New Delhi, is a hazy blur of horns, scooters weaving like drunken bees, and more construction than I've seen in a lifetime. My existential dread peaks during these moments, I swear.
Mid-Morning (10:00 AM): Check-in. Pray the room is actually what I booked. Seriously, hotel room descriptions are often blatant lies. "Charming boutique hotel" usually translates to "poky room with a questionable stain on the carpet". I’m bracing myself.
Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Okay, room is… alright. The view is of… another building. Fine. Time for a shower. And thankfully, the water pressure is actually decent. That's a win.
Lunch (1:00 PM): First meal of the trip! And it's got to be a proper introduction. I'm picturing it now: Delicious plates full of aromatic spices, the clattering of plates echoing in my ears, and the symphony of Delhi at its best. It is very important to experience the culture of the city through its food.
- Food: Let’s make it a classic: Karim's in Old Delhi. The first bite of that mutton biryani? Pure, unadulterated bliss. Forget your diet, your worries, your sanity. You're here for the food. And the chaos. Embrace the chaos.
- Logistics/Mood: Getting there is an experience in itself. Rickshaw ride into the maze that is Old Delhi? Hold on tight, and try not to breathe in too much pollution. It gets tight. I will probably get lost. I will probably sweat profusely. I will probably question every life choice that led me here. It doesn't matter. The food is worth it.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): A break from the intensity of the city. Maybe relaxing at the hotel, catching up on emails (the bane of my existence), or just… staring blankly at the ceiling. I'll be honest, it depends on how many layers of delicious spice I consumed at lunch. If the food is too heavy, and I’m struggling in the heat, then it’s back to the hotel to recharge. Rest Is Important.
Afternoon (4:00 PM): Attempt to visit the India Gate. Okay, let’s be real. It's iconic. But also, it’s probably going to be packed. And the vendors will be relentless. "Madam, Madam! You want a selfie stick? Madam!" But, you know, I have to see it.
Evening (6:00 PM): If I make it out alive from India Gate, a stroll through Connaught Place is next on the list. Shopping, people-watching, maybe a coffee.
Evening (7:30 PM): Drinks. A cocktail, maybe. Need a stiff drink to help get over the day.
Dinner (9:00 PM): Some place with decent air conditioning, and hopefully a menu that isn't entirely overwhelming. A place like The Embassy Restaurant is a good choice for its old-world charm.
Day 2: Metro Studios, Bollywood Dreams and Delhi Delights.
- Morning (8:00 AM): Breakfast! That’s an Important meal for me. Trying to eat light.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Today, the ultimate goal: Metro Studios!!! I have to meet the locals, soak in the atmosphere, find some amazing stories, and maybe just maybe make a friend, and feel like I am part of something.
- Getting There: Honestly, I have no idea how to get there yet. The metro? A taxi? I’ll figure it out. Google Maps, get ready for a challenge!
- The Experience: This is the big one. The heart of the trip. I will make sure to get the inside scoop. Talking to people on the street is important. Observing the day-to-day that might very well define the whole trip.
- My Emotions: Honestly, I'm picturing this now and I'm getting chills. A mix of excitement, awe, and a healthy dose of "oh god, please don't let me look like a complete idiot." I’ll probably be snapping photos like a madwoman. I might cry. I might laugh. I might even try an awkward Bollywood dance move (don't tell anyone). This is what I came for.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Depending on the Metro Studios experience, I could eat anywhere. I could be starving, euphoric, or emotionally drained. Whatever it is, something needs to happen. I’m thinking a quick bite near Metro Studios. Food choices are important, but not everything.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Lodi Gardens: Some peaceful greenery to reset. A quiet walk, some time to reflect. Before, you know, I get back into the chaos.
- Afternoon (5:00 PM): Dilli Haat. Handicrafts, street food, a complete sensory overload of smells and sounds!
- Evening(7:00 PM): After Dilli Haat, I will unwind and get myself ready for tomorrow.
- Dinner (9:00 PM): Some amazing food awaits us at the end of a long day.
Day 3: Goodbye, Delhi. Or, Until Next Time, You Crazy, Beautiful City.
- Morning (8:00 AM): One last delicious breakfast.
- Morning (9:00 AM): One last chaotic trip to a tourist spot. This time, the Humayun's Tomb.
- Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Try a local bakery. Grab some snacks.
- Lunch (12:00 PM): A final lunch. I’ll probably want something familiar.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Travel to the airport.
- Evening (4:00 PM): Flight and goodbye.
Okay, I know this isn’t a perfect plan. It’s not even a particularly structured plan. It’s a suggestion, a guideline, a springboard for adventure. Because the best moments, the most memorable discoveries, aren’t planned. They just happen. And Delhi? Well, it's a city that's all about the unplanned.
So, wish me luck. And send me chocolate. I have a feeling I'm going to need it.

Metro Studios: Delhi & NCR's… Well, Let's Talk About It (FAQ-ish Thingy)
So, are Metro Studios *really* the best film production house in Delhi & NCR? That's a BIG claim, innit?
Okay, look, let's be real. "Best" is subjective, like choosing a favourite flavour of momos (which, by the way, the Metro Studios canteen... hold that thought, we'll get there). Do *I* think they're the best? Well, after working with them on that music video shoot last summer… and the *other* one that shall remain nameless... yeah, maybe. But best for *what*, you ask? Let's break it down. They’ve got their strengths, their… *quirks*, and their moments of sheer, delightful chaos. It's Delhi, baby, nothing is perfect, and that's part of the charm.
What kind of projects do they actually *do*? I'm not seeing Shah Rukh Khan level budgets here, am I?
Alright, settle down, Bollywood dreams. Metro Studios caters to a pretty broad spectrum. They've done corporate videos, music videos (the lifeblood, honestly!), ad films (from what I've heard), short films (mostly for aspiring directors, bless 'em), and the odd documentary. Look, they're not exactly rolling in the rupees for mega-blockbusters. Their bread and butter is the… shall we say, *more accessible* end of the market. Which is *fine*, actually. Because it means you get to mingle with the hungry, the passionate, the ones trying to make a dent. And sometimes, those are the BEST projects. You know, the ones where everyone's hustling and everyone *cares*.
Okay, but what about the actual *production*? Is their equipment decent? Do they know what they're doing?
Equipment? Yeah, it's... good enough. They've got the basics: cameras, lights, sound gear. Nothing state-of-the-art, mind you. I remember this one… (deep breath) ...the music video. The cinematographer had to MacGyver a reflector out of, I swear, a sheet and some duct tape because the proper one was apparently "on loan." (eye roll) BUT! And this is a BIG BUT: the *people* are generally pretty solid. Their crew understands light and shadow. They know how to wrangle a crowd. They know… *how* the Delhi traffic hits like a ton of bricks and how to factor that into the shooting schedule. So, yeah, they get the job done. Sometimes with a bit of scrappiness, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?
Tell me about working with them. What's the *experience* like?
Ah, the experience. Buckle up. Okay, so, let's talk about that music video, shall we? (sigh) It was intense. We were shooting in Old Delhi. The chaos, the noise, the *smells*… it was sensory overload. You'd be trying to direct and suddenly a cow would wander into shot. Literally. A COW. Now, there's a moment for you!
Things that went wrong, I cannot even start. The catering was... not great. Let's just say my stomach did not enjoy the experience as much as the rest of me loved the shoot's vibe. The sound guy lost his headphones. The lead actor (bless him, he tried) forgot his lines. And yet...and yet...somehow, it all came together. There was a genuine feeling of camaraderie there. Everyone, from the gaffer to the makeup artist, was invested. We worked late, grumbled a bit (okay, a lot), and laughed even more. And when we wrapped? Pure, unadulterated relief. And a shared sense of, "We actually *did* it." That, my friends, is Metro Studios in a nutshell.
What are their weaknesses? Spill the tea!
Oh, the weaknesses. Where do I begin?! Okay, first off: the communication. Sometimes, getting a straight answer can feel like pulling teeth. They’re busy. You get it. But be prepared for a bit of… fluidity in the planning process. Don't expect everything to run like clockwork. It's Delhi, remember? Clockwork runs on "IST" (Indian Standard Time) which means everything runs anywhere from a few minutes to an hour later. Then, there’s the occasional, shall we say, *creative accounting*. Make sure you have a detailed budget and check invoices carefully. And… and this is crucial…always ask about the snacks before you commit. My stomach hasn't fully recovered from the last shoot's *ahem* cuisine. And the canteen... let's just say, they could do with a chef upgrade.
What should I *expect* if I hire them?
Expect a roller-coaster ride. Expect a lot of chai. Expect late nights. Expect a few moments of sheer panic. Expect a few moments of pure brilliance. Expect to be challenged. Expect to laugh until your sides hurt. Expect to learn something, whether it's about filmmaking or just surviving in Delhi. Expect to make some friends. Expect to – hopefully – create something you’re proud of. And hey, if you get lucky? Maybe, just maybe, the canteen will have decent samosas that day.
Would you recommend them?
Look, it’s complicated. But mostly, yes. If you’re looking for a slick, high-budget, perfectly-orchestrated experience? Probably not. If you want to be part of something, something raw, something real, something that… well, is Delhi? Then give them a shot. Just… bring your patience. And maybe some emergency snacks. And definitely, definitely check those invoices. And, you know what? That music video was… actually pretty good. Definitely better than the second one. And for all the chaos, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. So, yeah. Take a chance. Metro Studios: they might just surprise you. Or maybe it’ll be a complete disaster. That’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? You never know.
