Our Quick Review Metro In Dino
I watched Metro In Dino on Day 2 evening, drawn by its nostalgic connection to Life in a Metro. The city-city vibe, realistic couples, and soulful tracks felt warm and authentic. Aditya–Sara spark, Konkona–Pankaj’s mature love, Neena–Anupam’s gentle partnership—all felt grounded.
But it can feel slow at times. Some plotlines seem overly safe. However, thanks to Basu’s storytelling and strong music, it grows on you.
