Metro In Dino Review: Watch or Skip?
A Worthy Successor?
Director Anurag Basu returns with a follow-up to his 2007 classic. This film is a more realised, lighter, and timely update on modern urban relationships.
An Anthology of Love
The film weaves together four principal stories of couples in various cities, exploring love, infidelity, and commitment in a complex, interconnected narrative.
Women Take the Wheel
The women in this story are unapologetically in charge. They are flawed and fierce and drive their own narratives with agency and conviction.
Stellar Ensemble Cast
The film is powered by incredible performances. Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher are particularly brilliant in their roles.
The Standout Couple
The most memorable storyline features Konkona Sen Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi, whose marital strife is portrayed with superb comic timing and genuine pathos.
The Basu Touch
Anurag Basu`s signature whimsical and chaotic direction is on full display, blending heartfelt emotions with moments of laugh-out-loud humour.
Pritam`s Musical Soul
Music is a key character. Pritam’s soundtrack is integral to the narrative, with a live band format expressing the characters` inner thoughts and emotions.
A Bit of a Mess
While charming, the film is not flawless. The narrative can feel cluttered and all over the place, with some storylines feeling flimsier than others.
Relatable Modern Dilemmas
It touches upon relevant themes like unplanned pregnancies, LGBTQIA+ identity, ambition in relationships, making the characters and their struggles relatable.
Final Verdict: A Must-Watch
A worthy watch for sure. It’s a feel-good story that will leave you with a warm hug. A simple, heartwarming film that beautifully captures the chaos of life.
