Metro... In Dino

Did not expect to be hit in the feels like this. Metro... In Dino is that rare film that looks chill on the outside but lowkey punches you in the gut when you're least ready. A mature, layered, emotionally chaotic ride through what love, regret, and timing really mean in today's world.

Anurag Basu is in full control here. The way he juggles multiple stories, characters, moods-it's effortless. The man just gets human complexity. No melodrama, no preachy nonsense-just real people, real pain, and beautifully messy connections.

Konkona Sen Sharma & Pankaj Tripathi are just masterclasses on screen. Quiet brilliance. The rest of the cast also do a brilliant job except for Sara. She for the life of her just cannot act.

Pritam's music is soul touching, haunting, and so well placed that it hurts. It might be one of his most important works. Every note blends effortlessly with the screenplay.

This film isn't trying to impress. It's just honest-and that's what makes it hit. Relationships are messy, people are flawed, and life doesn't always come with closure.

Watched it in a theatre somedays ago knowing the fact it's not gonna be close to the previous part but still storyline could be much better dialogues could be effective and if they cut the Pritam papon and others singing at every single moment of the movie it could be nice the concert they were holding every single second of the movie was cringe.

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.

Urban love, can't be defined in a single word or a single line. It need to be lived. Though many people would not like the concept or the story but personally it will be make ourselves emotionally rich. The differnet lives of the characters are portraited very nicely and the background music will make u feel the concept. Do not depend on the reviews of others just see the movie and make your own review.

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.
