Metro... In Dino

Its really touches the heart. Diverse character portrayed with blend of frankness, perplexed minds which truly represents the real life dramas. Watching it was like enjoying vacation that really refreshes your mind and give a new fresh energy to life that help us to connect with characters of the movies one way or another.

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.

Not sure from where this movie is getting all those rave reviews. For someone who has watched first one like 10 times, it was easy to guess that the makers actually tried to make a failed and a toxic replica. May be in life of all these celebrities but stuff shown in this movie doesn't happen in real people's life. The funda of first casually sabotaging a relationship and then applying a bandage over it was new and used to work 18 years ago but not today. People understand the value of a relationship and what it takes to build it no matter what kind of past they have. I literally found the movie way too negative. Lots of cliched dialogs, deliberate attempts of including hidden adult content in songs, Sara Ali Khan.... I mean there were so many things that were wrong about this movie.

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.
