A Multi-Narrative Structure That Works

Much like its predecessor, Metro In Dino embraces a nonlinear, mosaic storytelling style. Each character’s story unfolds separately but subtly connects through shared spaces, emotions, and life experiences in the ever-bustling metro city. The urban backdrop is not just a setting—it’s a character in itself.

Anurag Basu’s direction remains one of the film’s strongest pillars. His ability to portray the mundane with emotional depth makes every scene feel intimate, yet universal. While the pace dips occasionally, the film compensates with impactful moments and layered storytelling.

Performances That Leave an Impact

Aditya Roy Kapur delivers one of his most restrained and grounded performances to date. Sara Ali Khan shows promise in a role that demands vulnerability and strength. Konkona Sen Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi, as expected, are absolute powerhouses, bringing depth and realism to their roles.

Anupam Kher brings warmth and comic relief in measured doses. Each actor stays true to the grounded, everyday people they portray—making the film relatable to the urban Indian audience.

Music and Cinematography

The soundtrack, composed by Pritam, complements the emotional landscape of the film. Tracks like Metro In Dino and Phir Se Dil enhance the mood without overpowering the narrative. Cinematographer Ravi Varman captures the heart of the city with a poetic lens—showing both its beauty and loneliness.

Final Verdict

Metro In Dino is an emotional, thought-provoking urban drama that reflects on love, disconnection, and the silent struggles of modern life. While not flawless, it’s an important film that dares to be real in an industry often driven by spectacle.
