Metro... In Dino

The songs are beautiful. Anupam Kher's arc has the most tragic outcome and he, like Shiney Ahuja in the first part, remains all by himself. Ali Fazal and Fatima's story has a lot of soul too. Basu could have snapped short on Konkona and Pankaj Tripathi's story because it drags after a point, drags to irritation. Sara and Aditya's story had a lot of wit and charm, but lacked soul. And there was ABSOLUTELY no need for horse-shoeing the Rainbow prpaganda. It murdered an otherwise fascinating film.

"Zamana lage" and "Aankh mudi, khwab aya" are the best picks among Pritam's melodies.

The cinematography, as always, is delicious.

I just wish Basu goes back to making little gems like Barfi and Jagga Jasoos.

His Gangster and Metro days are best left behind.

The story is decent, but it feels very one-sided. Every couple in the film is shown dealing with life's struggles, yet the narrative always portrays women as being suppressed and men as the sole cause of their suffering. Men are depicted almost entirely as villains. It's disappointing, because in reality men also face hardships, including depression. Just as a woman leaves behind her past life after marriage, a man does too-but this perspective is rarely acknowledged. The experiences aren't the same for both, so the film's constant focus on blaming men feels unfair.

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.

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.

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.
