🎬 Metro… In Dino – Anurag Basu Returns with Another Slice-of-Life Symphony

In Theatres July 4, 2025

“In Dino... zindagi, kaarvaan... chalte chalte kahin ruk jaati hai.” From the soulful echoes of 2007’s Life in a... Metro comes a spiritual sequel that promises to stir your heart and spark introspection.

Director Anurag Basu, known for his masterful storytelling in films like Barfi! and Jagga Jasoos, brings us Metro… In Dino—a poignant new anthology that weaves together four compelling stories of love, loneliness, and human connection in contemporary urban India.

🧩 A Tapestry of Emotions and Relationships

Set in the bustling metros of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Lucknow, Metro… In Dino is not a conventional sequel, but a spiritual successor to Life in a... Metro. Like its predecessor, the film delves into urban relationships, this time through the lens of a post-pandemic generation, dealing with modern love, disconnection, ambition, and identity.

Each story in this anthology converges, subtly intersecting at a key moment in the narrative—typical of Basu’s signature storytelling style, which often turns ordinary moments into something emotionally extraordinary.

🎭 An Ensemble Cast for the Ages

Basu assembles a powerhouse cast that spans generations and genres:

• Aditya Roy Kapur as Vishal Chaudhary

• Sara Ali Khan

• Pankaj Tripathi

• Konkona Sen Sharma

• Fatima Sana Shaikh

• Ali Fazal

• Anupam Kher

• Neena Gupta

• Kay Kay Menon as DCP Pratap Scindia

• Saswata Chatterjee, Rohan Gurbaxani, Rahul Bose, Shaleen Bhanot, Rohit Roy, and more

With such diverse talent, Metro… In Dino promises to be both refreshing and familiar, blending fresh energy with seasoned performances.

🎶 The Soundtrack of City Life

The film’s title, Metro… In Dino is a nostalgic nod to the hit track “In Dino” from Life in a... Metro. Once again, Pritam reunites with Anurag Basu to create a soundtrack that’s expected to be emotionally rich and deeply atmospheric—something that has always been a hallmark of their collaborations.

And yes, expect a lot of soulful melodies and cityscape montages to keep your heart both heavy and hopeful.

🖋️ Born in Lockdown, Rooted in Reality

Interestingly, Basu conceived the idea for Metro… In Dino, during the first COVID-19 lockdown—a period of collective pause, introspection, and emotional reset for many. This gives the film a deeply human and timely relevance, reflecting how relationships have evolved in an age of isolation and hyperconnection.

🗓️ Release Date & What to Expect

Metro… in Dino hits cinemas on July 4, 2025, and is produced by T-Series Films and Anurag Basu Productions. Edited by Bodhaditya Banerjee and featuring dialogues by Samrat Chakraborty, the film is set to be an emotional mosaic of today’s India—hectic, hopeful, heartbroken, and healing.

Final Thoughts

If Life in a... Metro was about the chaos of city life and the unexpected moments that bind us, Metro… In Dino is its 2025 counterpart—a heartfelt ode to modern relationships in a post-pandemic world. It’s about finding meaning in small interactions, intimacy in chaos, and love in the most unlikely places.

Get ready to lose yourself in the hum of the metro again. 🚇💔
