Metro in Dino

The movie is good in parts only.

But why have the makers portrayed only women-centric sub-stories? Why only women are being shown at the receiving end in a relationship?

Are there no unhappy or dissatisfied men out there?

A more balanced approach would have been to include at least one relationship where the man is the one who needs validation.

The only sub-plot making proper sense is that of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. Rest all are extremely lopsided and sometimes over the top too.

Was hoping to see the magic of 'Life in a Metro' being repeated, but, that movie was at another level.

This one is a one time watch.

Metro... In Dino isn't just a film-it's an emotion for anyone trying to keep up with this fast-paced, ever-changing modern life. Set in the heart of today's buzzing cities, the movie beautifully captures the hustle, the heartbreaks, and the human connections that somehow manage to survive it all.

It dives into the lives of different couples-young love, old love, lost love, and love that's still figuring itself out. And through each story, you're gently reminded of how life teaches us, molds us, and sometimes... surprises us.

From breakups that sting to moments that make your heart flutter again, this film makes you pause and reflect. You'll find bits of yourself in these characters-the confusion, the longing, the hope. And just like Life in a... Metro (2007), this one hits home in a nostalgic way.

And then there's Anurag Basu's magic. His storytelling is honest, raw, and full of warmth. Every frame feels like a slice of real life. And let's not forget Pritam's soulful music-it flows through the film like a gentle breeze, lifting every emotion higher.

This isn't just a film you watch-it's a film you feel.

If you're someone who's ever loved, lost, or lived in the chaos of a metro city... Metro... In Dino is your story.

I personally feel this should have never been a correlation of life in a metro. That movie meant so much as it was a new rendition of what small intertwined relationships were fading into a full bloom rose. The songs the actors the story line.... Man!!!! It was the perfect flim that year.

Now they remove contrasting to that flim.

No qualms no regret but the vibe is not vibing, I guess a flim of that power calibre should just be left as it is.... Untouched.

Irfan Sir thank you for that fantastic experience in that movie...and may you rest in peace. The movie metro in dino is a good movie but it's nothing great to what I experienced the first movie ( k.k menon's ) gave me.

Metro In Dino opens with one of the best musical beginnings, where characters break the fourth wall and instantly pull you in. You do not even realise when twenty minutes have flown by. Everyone in the cast does well, though Ali and Fatima come across as slightly stiff in emotionally charged scenes. Adi is effortless and charismatic, and Sara pairs well with him. Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher remind you of their experience with ease. Pankaj and Konkona are the real standouts, with Pankaj bringing sharp comic timing through his subtle expressions and improvised bits. Pritam's music is wonderfully woven into the narrative. The songs do not just support the story, they carry its soul.

The first half is tight and keeps you thoroughly engaged.

It is the second half where the film loses some grip. The storylines begin to feel stretched, and the endings are not clearly defined. A few subplots could have been skipped to bring in more clarity and depth. That said, the camerawork and visual setups in some scenes are beautiful and worth appreciating. The film explores themes of infidelity and emotional detachment, and it leaves you with a feeling that this is the generalisation the film wants you to settle with. The resolution feels rushed and a bit too convenient. In the end, Metro In Dino remains a musically rich experience with a gripping first half, but the latter part misses the same emotional weight and leaves you wishing for a more satisfying conclusion.

OVERALL 7.5/10.

7+1 stars. +1 star for soothing music. Anurag Da's storyline and music taste is next level. Pankaj Tripathi sir, Anupam Kher sir, the dark horse in this movie. Interval Song is just superb. Storytelling with songs one of the finest for this year. Konkana mam's story was my favourite. Aditya Roy Kapoor looks refreshing. Music from Pritam Da, and Papon in ending just brought old memories. Small small details brought life to the movie. Other supporting actor were also impressive. Movie is quite long. But songs doesn't makes you feel the same. Monsoon season in the movie and the rain scenes are just awesome.
