After much anticipation, Anurag Basu’s ensemble drama Metro In Dino has finally hit the big screen, and Twitter is already brimming with reactions. A spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit Life in a… Metro, the film captures the chaos, charm, and contradictions of modern urban lives. But amid a star-studded cast, it’s Sara Ali Khan who’s stealing all the thunder — at least according to fans online.
A Sequel That Works
The first wave of reactions is overwhelmingly positive. Twitteratis are praising Basu’s signature storytelling — a mix of parallel narratives, urban melancholy, and soulful music. Users highlight how he weaves emotion into the cityscape, making Metro… In Dino a true spiritual successor to its predecessor. One user wrote:
“Basu does it again. Stories about people you pass every day, told with heart. #MetroInDino is a triumph.”
Others noted the film’s contemporary resonance, blending themes of isolation, connection, and digital age dilemmas — all through heartfelt vignettes.
The Sara Ali Khan Surprise
While Metro… In Dino boasts an impressive ensemble — including Aditya Roy Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fasal, and Pankaj Tripathi — it’s Sara Ali Khan who has become the unexpected fan favorite. Her performance is being hailed as “career-defining,” with many calling it her most nuanced role to date.
“Didn’t expect to be THIS impressed by Sara Ali Khan. Vulnerable, relatable, and utterly real. She is the metro in dino.”
Several users compared her arc to that of Shilpa Shetty’s in the original Metro — understated yet powerful.
Music and Moments
Of course, a Basu film is incomplete without music that lingers. Pritam’s soundtrack is being celebrated as a key highlight. Tracks like “Saaz-e-Dil” and “Kho Gaye” are already trending, with netizens calling them “classics in the making.”
“Pritam + Basu = magic, once again. Every song feels lived-in. Metro vibes turned into melody.”
Final Word
Twitter’s early verdict? Metro… In Dino is a rare sequel that doesn’t just live up to the original — it finds its own rhythm. Anurag Basu’s direction is top-notch, the music is enchanting, but Sara Ali Khan’s performance might be what keeps people talking long after the credits roll.
