The upcoming film "Metro… In Dino" continues to generate buzz, particularly around the on-screen chemistry between Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film is described as a spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit, "Life in a... Metro," and features multiple stories of contemporary couples. The movie is slated to release on July 4, 2025.
Recent glimpses of Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur together have captured significant attention, with many fans expressing their views on their pairing. Some observers have noted the actors' camaraderie, pointing to behind-the-scenes moments and on-screen interactions that suggest a fresh and engaging dynamic. A particular scene in the film's new song, "Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon," showing Aditya holding Sara close on a bike, has drawn comparisons to a similar scene featuring Sara and Kartik Aaryan in "Love Aaj Kal". This has stirred nostalgia among fans who appreciated Sara and Kartik's pairing, with some expressing that Kartik's portrayal "hit different".
However, the focus on Sara's chemistry with Aditya has also led to some fans expressing that they miss seeing Aditya Roy Kapur alongside Shraddha Kapoor, with whom he shared a memorable on-screen partnership in "Aashiqui 2". The duo's portrayal of intense love and heartbreak in the 2013 film resonated deeply with audiences, and many continue to cherish their pairing. The shift to seeing Aditya with Sara has thus evoked a sense of nostalgia for his previous on-screen dynamic.
"Metro… In Dino" boasts an ensemble cast, including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, each contributing to the film's interwoven narratives. The movie's music, composed by Pritam, has also been well-received, with the song "Dil Ka Kya" already striking an emotional chord with listeners. Some fans have drawn comparisons between the song and the work of the late singer KK, praising the music's soulful quality.
Principal photography for "Metro... In Dino" commenced in December 2022 and concluded in February 2024, with filming taking place across various locations, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Lucknow. The film is produced by T-Series Films and Anurag Basu Productions. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build around how these different stories will intertwine and explore the complexities of modern relationships. The film is written by Anurag Basu, with dialogues by Sandeep Shrivastava and Samrat Chakravarthy.
