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.

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 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.

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.
