Metro In Dino Review : Anurag Basu's Magical Musical Treat Packed With Earnest Performances

The Plot : Romance is complicated and musical even more but trust Anurag Basu when he takes this complications in his own hands. Life In A Metro was supported by music however Metro In Dino is a more musical approach with even conversations that supported my music. 

We cannot compare both the movies at all. However the stellar star cast and soothing music makes it a must watch this weekend. The movie is packed with realism and hope at the same, the dichotomy of relationships and how different people, the same problem is a loop story in metro city. A relatability is shown so poetically that you might fall in love with that very misery.

Performances : Talking about performances, we have the best of names from the industry in the movie but the one who stole the show and how is Pankaj Tripathi. Pankaj made sure that every scene that he is a part of will be entertaining and equally relatable and we wanted to see more of him. Konkona Sen Sharma, an absolute favorite of cinema lovers because you give her a role and she will make sure she gives you yet another arc of her talent that you will feel was untapped, here the story continues. The element of surprise here was Fatima Sana Shaikh, she is a good actress but her performance in the movie just made her level go higher from what it was before, amidst so many stalwarts she shined out and that’s incredible. 

Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher had comparatively less screen timing but they are absolutely fantastic in their perspective roles. Ali Fazal was more in the music than dialogues but there were two remarkable scenes where Ali made sure that he tells you what kind of an actor he is, you can never complain about this man.

Aditya Roy Kapur is charming, his character will be the favorite of all the girls and he has done a decent job here. Sara Ali Khan was decent, there were few scenes where she nailed it and few where she fell a little flat. 

What We Loved : The best plot belonged to Pankaj and Konkona and without revealing much, this movie decodes how mundane relationships become in our daily lives but how we need to keep that spark alive and it's not always very flowery and beautiful how love is made to look like, that very essence of the film makes it a must watch topped with that beautiful songs. 

What We Didn’t Like : On the flip side, the movie seemed a bit stretched at a few parts and some subplots were not needed. Some scenes and cuts seemed to be a bit incomplete on information. 

Final Verdict : Metro In Dino gets a solid 4.5 stars for the power-packed performances, the music, the direction, and the story. Go watch it in cinemas this weekend if you want to watch something credible, meaningful and soulful/
