Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur pair up for a youthful, bittersweet journey that starts off dreamy and ends on an unexpected emotional punch. And trust us—there’s one moment toward the end that’ll leave even the toughest hearts teary-eyed.
The Story: Real, Relatable & Refreshingly Heartfelt
Set against the backdrop of a chaotic metro city, Metro In Dino captures the magic and mess of modern love. Basu crafts five intertwined tales, each exploring a different flavor of romance—from first sparks to fading flames, from long-lost soulmates to relationships trapped in routine. And guess what? As you watch their stories unfold, you’ll probably find your own story hiding between the scenes.
The narrative is peppered with modern-day dilemmas—digital disconnect, emotional burnout, and the constant tug between individuality and togetherness. But it never preaches. Instead, it observes, nudges, and gently reminds us that love isn’t always loud; sometimes, it’s just about staying.
The Music: Pritam’s Magic is Back
Pritam brings back his signature soulful touch—each song not only enhances the mood but also acts like a character in itself. Lyrics are poetic, sometimes haunting, and always perfectly timed. Whether it’s a montage of heartbreak or a sudden romantic high, the music carries the emotion without overwhelming it.
And yes, this isn’t just background music—it’s the emotional glue that binds the fragmented lives we see on screen.

A Few Masala Moments (And Minor Misses)
There are a few cameos that will leave you pleasantly surprised—don’t blink, or you’ll miss them. And hats off to Anurag Basu for making even those brief moments memorable.
That said, the film does demand patience. At over two hours, it might test the attention span of Reel-scrolling gen-Z audiences—especially those expecting instant sparks and quick resolutions. Plus, the ending, though emotionally rich, leaves a little something to be desired—a sense of closure that never quite arrives.
But maybe, that’s intentional? After all, love stories don’t always come with neat little bows.
Why You Should Watch It
Because we all need a film that doesn’t judge, just listens. Because the characters feel like people we know. And because, somewhere between those metro rides, awkward silences, and late-night breakdowns, Metro In Dino teaches us to pause and feel again.
Whether you’re a hopeless romantic, a cynical singleton, or a married-for-a-decade realist, there’s a story in here that will speak to you.
Final Verdict: 4/5 Stars
“Metro In Dino” isn’t just a sequel—it’s an evolved love letter to life in Indian cities. It’s emotional without being melodramatic, nostalgic yet contemporary. With stellar performances and heart-tugging storytelling, Anurag Basu delivers a modern-day relationship saga that feels personal, poetic, and powerful.
So, if you’re tired of picture-perfect rom-coms and crave something real—with all the messiness, madness, and magic of metro life—book your ticket, grab that tissue, and dive in.
Because hey… who said love stories are only for the young.
