“Metro… In Dino”: Anurag Basu’s New Anthology Film Gets a November Release


Bollywood enthusiasts are on the edge of their seats as the release date of Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan’s much-awaited rom-com ‘Metro… In Dino’ has been pushed to November 29. Initially scheduled to grace theaters in September, the buzz around the film intensified following the announcement of the postponement on Aditya Roy Kapur’s Instagram handle.

Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu, ‘Metro… In Dino’ is an anthology that weaves together numerous narratives led by a stellar cast. The film features an ensemble of celebrated actors, including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Konkona Sen Sharma, each bringing unique characters to life. This cinematic tapestry was originally penciled in to debut on March 29 of this year.

With ‘Metro… In Dino’, Aditya Roy Kapur rekindles his collaborative spark with Anurag Basu, following their previous teaming up in the well-received film ‘Ludo’. This upcoming feature is more than just an ordinary movie; its title, reminiscent of the soulful track ‘In Dino’ from ‘Life in a… Metro’, hints at interwoven stories set against the backdrop of urban complexities and the sweet-and-sour dynamics of human relationships.

Anurag Basu shared insights into the film with palpable enthusiasm, stating, “Metro… In Dino is a tale of the people and for the people! I have poured my heart and soul into this project and it’s exhilarating to be working with Bhushan Kumar once more. His unwavering support has been a cornerstone in bringing this vision to reality.” The director emphasizes the contemporary relevance of the narrative and the fresh approach it encapsulates, aiming to resonate deeply with audiences.

Music, an indispensable element that often breathes life into cinema, plays a pivotal role in this film. Anurag Basu couldn’t conceal his delight in teaming up with Pritam, a longtime collaborator and friend whose musical genius promises to enhance the stories and characters of ‘Metro… In Dino’ with rhythmic vibrancy and depth.

Basu’s directorial acumen is no stranger to the Indian cinema landscape, with a portfolio of films like ‘Barfi’, ‘Life In a Metro’, ‘Ludo’, and ‘Jagga Jasoos’ to his credit. His inventive storytelling and unique visual style have earned him accolades and a loyal fan base. Fans of Basu’s work can also look forward to ‘Aashiqui 3’, a directorial venture featuring Kartik Aaryan, which adds to the excitement of Basu’s upcoming projects.

While ‘Metro… In Dino’ gears up for its theatrical release, the anticipation continues to build. The film promises to be a colorful mosaic of life in the city; its tales poised to both mirror and shape the sensibilities of a modern India. Anurag Basu’s venture into the anthology space with a celebrated cast is likely to captivate moviegoers with its nuanced exploration of love, longing, and the labyrinth of human emotions.

As the curtain rises this November, audiences will be invited to immerse themselves in the heartwarming, heartbreaking, and ultimately human stories that ‘Metro… In Dino’ aims to tell. In anticipation of the film’s release, cinephiles are already marking their calendars for what promises to be a memorable cinematic journey through Anurag Basu’s lens.
