Anurag Basu’s latest film, Metro…In Dino, the much-awaited spiritual sequel to the cult classic Life in a… Metro, has finally hit the theatres. With its soulful music, relatable characters, and heartfelt storytelling, the film has struck a deep chord with audiences.
Metro…In Dino, the spiritual sequel of Life in a…Metro brings back the magic of soulful music and urban stories
Life In A… Metro, released back in 2007, was truly a film ahead of its time. With its grounded yet relatable storytelling and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, the film carved a niche for itself in the landscape of Hindi cinema. It fearlessly explored themes like infidelity, loneliness, ambition, and love in big cities—subjects that were rarely touched upon so realistically in mainstream films back then. Over the years, the movie didn’t just age well, it became a cult favourite, resonating with audiences who found pieces of themselves in its characters.

Now, nearly two decades later, Anurag Basu returns with Metro… In Dino, a much-anticipated sequel that captures the spirit of its predecessor while reflecting the complexities of love and life in today’s world. Released on July 4, 2025, the film brings together an impressive ensemble cast including Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Sara Ali Khan, and Aditya Roy Kapur.
Through multiple intertwined stories, it beautifully portrays the changing dynamics of modern relationships, from fleeting connections to quiet heartbreaks and the search for meaning in a noisy, fast-paced world.
The music of Metro… In Dino, much like the original, is one of its strongest pillars. With Pritam once again helming the soundtrack, the songs are soulful, contemporary, and deeply woven into the narrative. Each track adds emotional depth to the scenes, serving not just as background but as a storyteller in itself.
