The trailer for Anurag Basu’s highly anticipated romantic drama Metro… In Dino is finally here — promising an emotional ride through the crowded lanes and quiet corners of India’s sprawling metro cities. Slated to release on July 4, 2025, the film features a stellar ensemble cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, and Saswata Chatterjee.
Directed by Basu and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu under the T-Series banner, Metro… In Dino is a spiritual successor to his acclaimed 2007 film Life in a… Metro. With music by Pritam, the trailer sets the tone for a soulful exploration of contemporary relationships in urban India — where love can be as fleeting as a train and as intense as the city crowds.
Four Stories, One City, Countless Emotions
The three-minute-17-second trailer intertwines four distinct love stories, each reflecting a unique phase and flavor of love set against dynamic urban backdrops.
Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan portray a couple caught between attraction and emotional immaturity. In one scene, over a quirky “Cheese Chinese Schezwan Masala Dosa,” Sara’s character calls out Aditya’s for being a “commitment-phobic man child.” Their interactions are layered with wit, vulnerability, and the fear of real intimacy.
Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma represent a marriage on the verge of collapse. In a poignant moment, Tripathi remarks, “Insaan ka evolution ho chuka hain. Kaan se sunte hain, aankh se nahi,” reflecting the emotional deafness between them. Konkona’s character ultimately walks out, tired of feeling invisible.
Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta bring to life a mature romance set in Kolkata. Their narrative is a delicate reflection on time, regrets, and whether love can find space in the later chapters of life. Their chemistry hints at affection tempered by the realism of age and circumstance.
Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ali Fazal showcase a love story that begins with intimacy but faces a deep crisis. After a pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage, cracks appear in their relationship. Doubts, emotional distance, and fragile trust define their journey.
When the City Becomes a Character
As in Life in a… Metro, the city isn’t just a backdrop — it becomes a living, breathing presence. The film highlights how metropolitan life shapes, strains, and sometimes suffocates its inhabitants. The trailer concludes with the ensemble stating: “Yeh sheher jitna deta hai, usse zyada humari leta hai.” This line powerfully encapsulates the bittersweet relationship between people and the cities they live in — full of dreams, yet demanding more than they give.
Pritam’s Music: The Soul of the Story
With Pritam returning as composer, the music of Metro… In Dino promises to echo the emotional highs and lows of each couple’s journey. The score, rich in both melody and mood, enhances the storytelling, making each moment resonate with depth and heart.
Metro… In Dino is not just a film — it’s a heartfelt reflection of love, loss, and emotional evolution in the modern world. With Anurag Basu’s sensitive storytelling, a compelling cast, and soul-stirring music, the film is poised to offer a deeply resonant cinematic experience when it hits theatres on July 4, 2025.
