‘Metro… In Dino’ Trailer: From Konkona’s Return to Pritam’s Music; Everything You Need to Know!

June 4, 2025: Eighteen years after Life in a… Metro first captured the rhythm of urban love, Anurag Basu returns with its spiritual sequel, Metro… In Dino—a film that promises to once again dive deep into the chaos, beauty, and emotional nuances of modern relationships.

Dropped on June 4, the trailer of Metro… In Dino teases four interwoven stories of contemporary couples navigating love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. With a powerhouse cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher, the film revisits themes that made the original a cult favourite—only this time, with new layers and a more evolved lens.

Pankaj Tripathi: The Heartbeat of This Metro

One of the most striking elements of the trailer is the charming unpredictability of Pankaj Tripathi, whose performance is both heartfelt and whimsical. Whether he’s dancing, singing, or embracing romantic vulnerability, Tripathi seems entirely at home in Basu’s world—reminding us why their collaborations are always worth watching.

Konkona Sen Sharma: The Circle of Love Continues

Konkona Sen Sharma, a familiar face from the original, brings a sense of continuity and nostalgia. In Life in a… Metro, she was on the cusp of new beginnings. Here, she’s grappling with what happens after the “happily ever after.” The progression of her character—this time facing marital cracks—is deeply resonant. While we miss Irrfan Khan’s irreplaceable presence, Tripathi’s pairing with Konkona offers its own bittersweet charm.

Elderly Love: A Silent, Soulful Narrative

Replacing the gentle romance of Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali in the original are Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher, portraying a mature, understated kind of love. Their story, told through glances and silences more than words, feels as emotionally rich as any young love, reminding us that romance has no age limit.

Pritam’s Musical Revival

What’s a Metro film without Pritam? The composer returns in full form, offering a blend of soulful melodies and stirring background scores that elevate the storytelling. The trailer hints at a powerful soundtrack that spans from youthful exuberance to aching melancholy, echoing the highs and lows of love in a city that never stops moving.

Dialogues That Hit Home

The writing packs a punch with lines like:
“Kisi ke saath poori zindagi guzarne ke liye, baar baar pyaar mein padna padta hai… usi ek insaan ke saath…”
and
“Yeh sheher hamein jitna deta hai, usse zyada hamari…”
These moments remind us that Metro… In Dino isn’t just about love stories—it’s about the stories that live between the moments we call love.

Mumbai: More Than a Backdrop

As always, Anurag Basu paints Mumbai not just as a setting, but as a living, breathing character. From its vibrant streets to its shadowy alleys, the city is both a witness and participant in these stories—offering warmth, confusion, hope, and heartbreak in equal measure.

Release Date

Metro… In Dino releases July 4, and if the trailer is any indication, it will be a heartfelt, honest exploration of how love evolves in the city’s ever-changing, ever-persistent rhythm.
