Directed by Anurag Basu, the film, which was released on July 4, follows the love stories of couples–young, old, and middle-aged–living in a metro city, and serves as the spiritual sequel to Anurag Basu’s 2007 film ‘Life in a… Metro.’ It also stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, and Neena Gupta.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh commented on the steady growth of the movie in a statement: “Metro…In Dino has managed to hold its ground remarkably well, especially given the tough box office environment and stiff competition from bigger titles. Despite the odds, the film has shown consistency through the weekdays and is headed for a promising second weekend. The footfalls are steady, and that says a lot. What’s working is the relatability —Anurag Basu’s storytelling has struck a chord. It’s one of those rare films where audiences see their own stories unfold on screen.”

Backed by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, the film offers an emotionally layered take on modern relationships. (ANI)
