Metro… In Dino Trailer Out

A Tribute to KK & Irrfan Khan

At the trailer launch, Anurag Basu spoke emotionally about the absence of KK, who had sung many memorable tracks in his films, including Life In A Metro (2007). Basu said:

"The whole film and the soundtrack are a tribute to KK and Irrfan Khan. KK used to complement Pritam’s compositions the most. Obviously, I will miss him.”

He also added that Irrfan Khan’s absence was deeply felt, especially by Konkona Sen Sharma, who had shared screen space with Irrfan in Life In A Metro. Konkona shared that there were moments during the shoot when she couldn’t hold back tears thinking of him.

The Final Chapter in Basu’s Hyperlink Trilogy

Metro… In Dino is the final installment of Anurag Basu’s celebrated hyperlink trilogy, following Life In A Metro and Ludo (2020).

Like its predecessors, the film weaves together multiple stories set against the backdrop of a bustling city. The trailer showcases four couples, each navigating modern love and life challenges in their way:

• Sara Ali Khan & Aditya Roy Kapur portray a journey from friendship to romance.

• Ali Fazal & Fatima Sana Shaikh explore the complexities of contemporary relationships.

• Neena Gupta & Anupam Kher bring warmth and depth with their mature love story.

• Konkona Sen Sharma & Pankaj Tripathi delve into layered emotional territory.

Soulful Music by Pritam

The film’s music, composed by Pritam, plays a pivotal role in enhancing its emotional resonance. The first track, “Zamaana Lage”, sung by Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh, has already struck a chord with listeners. The song’s line “Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage” is inspired by poet Qaisar Ul Jafri and beautifully captures the spirit of longing and nostalgia.

KK, who delivered unforgettable songs like “Alvida” and “O Meri Jaan” in Life In A Metro, remains a musical presence in spirit through the film’s soundtrack.
