Metro... In Dino

Touches many of the current issues... appreciate the effort of making a hindi musical, but, it has been a tad bit too much of a musical.

Last 2-3 songs had me pulling out my hair.

A solid 7/10 nevertheless

Anupam kher, neena Gupta were flawless as ever. To be fair, each of the cast had their moments and performed really well.

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.

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.

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.

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.
