METRO…IN DINO: WHY THIS COULD BE ANURAG BASU’S MOST PERSONAL FILM YET

Watch the official trailer here

Anurag Basu’s films have always found a way to reflect urban life’s complexities, but Metro…in Dino may just be his most intimate and emotionally driven film yet. This third installment in his hyperlink trilogy dives into the intricacies of urban relationships that resonate deeply in a South Asian context.

Each character reflects the emotional duality of metropolitan life—loneliness in a crowd, silence in noise. Pankaj Tripathi’s confession of being nervous working with Konkona Sen Sharma underlines the film’s emotional gravity and the genuine connections on set.

The cast—Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, and Neena Gupta—embodies a spectrum of emotions and life stages. From new love to forgotten dreams, each actor anchors their narrative in a city that never stops moving. Their individual stories are laced with realism, making them feel like reflections of our own lives.

The narrative feels raw, almost autobiographical in its handling of heartbreak, redemption, and second chances. Basu’s lens captures a living, breathing city where every street has a story, and every character is a reflection of someone we know; or are. From subtle gestures to charged confrontations, every frame tells a story.

Watch Metro…in Dino in cinemas on 4th July near you.
