Movie Review: Metro… In Dino — When City Lights Meet Quiet Hearts
Some movies feels like a distinct aching memory with feels like reality, Metro In Dino is such a film, its raw, real, authentic and deeply rooted and emotional. The film doesn't draw a forced dramatic picture, but it is breath organically and allows audience to relate with it, with its characters and their flawed, yet relatable intellect and lives. The film parts with one simple notion, what if you simply paused and felt? The Bengali showman, Anurag Basu is back with his signature touch, weaving an authentic tales by intertwining lives across a shared emotional map, but this time, it's more subtle, and reflective. A spiritual follow-up to Life in a Metro trades intensity for intimacy, and offers something we have never seen before or felt before! The film flows through several stories: Monty (Pankaj) and Kajol (Konkona) live in a marriage worn thin by time. Kajol's mother Shibani (Neena Gupta), is full of laughter on the outside, but inside, years of being sidelined weigh her down. Akash (Ali Fazal) and Shruti (Fatima Sana Shaikh) portray a love fraying at the edges, stretched too far by distance and disappointment. And amid this beautifully fractured ensemble, we meet Chumki (Sara Ali Khan) and Parth (Aditya Roy Kapur), strangers caught in an unpredictable equation of mistrust and maybe-love. The entire ensemble is rich and seasoned, but it's the Sara Ali Khan, who steal the show with her transformative role. She plays the role of Chumki, a young woman navigating her path through emotional fog, she is hesitant, guarded, yet yearning. She offers a whole different texture and grit for her role that looks raw, real and authentic, a long departure from her vibrant and energetic previous roles. She bring an eerie silence, poise, and longing to her role that feels so soul-stirring. She eyes does the talking, her impactful moments aren't loud, they are painfully real and lands perfectly. At times she says nothing, and her silence is deafening on-screen. The music of the film is outstanding and brilliant, Pritam's music flow like thoughts, carrying the narrative, and emotion forward, they don't interrupt scenes — they become part of their being. The emotional landscape and dealing in the film is the real winner, characters unspoken generational trauma, midlife crisis, tired hope and loneliness, everything feels heartbreakingly familiar and real. The performances are outstanding and brilliant, but Sara Ali Khan shines above everyone else! The first half is quick, but the film slows down in the second half, and some stories land harder than others, this intentional narrative trick doesn't feels less like a flaw and more like life itself, which is unpredictable, unresolved, and always in moving forward. The film is far from being a spectacle, it is a slow dance with reality, and allows you to feel and breath with it, the film may not change your life, but it might remind you of something you forgot along the way. And if you're still wondering whether Sara Ali Khan can surprise you — this film is your quiet yes.

Why Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Will Skip Joint Promotions For War 2
New Delhi: The cinematic clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in War 2 is set to be one of the most epic battles on the big screen. In a strategic move, the makers have decided to take a unique approach to promotions. Hrithik and Jr NTR will be promoting the film separately. According to media reports, Yash Raj Films is using this unique strategy to maintain the surprise and intensity of their onscreen clash by keeping them apart during promotions. 'Hrithik & NTR will be promoting War 2 separately, and all plans have been made keeping in mind that they would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never be seen with each other," a source told the Hindustan Times. The insider added, "Hrithik and NTR coming together is a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment in Indian cinema, and there will be a bloody carnage on the big screen. YRF is clear that the audience should first experience this rivalry before they see the two promote with camaraderie. They want to deliver the best movie-watching experience to people by preserving the conflict, which is the unique selling point of the film." Last week, Hrithik Roshan shared fresh posters of himself from War 2 on Instagram. The poster offered a close-up shot of the actor looking fierce. He sported a bruised avatar, holding a weapon with a grim expression on his face. He returns as Major Kabir in the War sequel. The caption read, 'This time he is ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now. 50 Days to War 2.'

While fans are counting down to see the two powerhouses collide on screen, they won't be spotting them side by side off it. Why? Because YRF wants the conflict to hit first—raw, explosive, and unfiltered—before any camaraderie makes its way to screens. Hrithik vs NTR YRF has decided to keep Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR apart during all pre-release promotions, ensuring they are never seen together on stage, in interviews, or in any joint video. The studio believes that revealing their onscreen rivalry only in theatres will heighten the emotional and cinematic payoff. Citing a senior trade source, IANS revealed that there will be a bloody carnage on screen, and the audience deserves to experience that intense conflict before seeing them off-screen together. Hence, this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment should unfold only in cinemas. New posters for War 2 With more than a month to go before release, YRF unveiled intense new posters of the two stars, revealing their deadly avatars. Hrithik Roshan shared his look, bruised and wielding a weapon, with the caption: 'This time he's ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now.' — iHrithik (@iHrithik) Meanwhile, Jr NTR dropped his own action-packed poster where he's seen firing bullets with fierce intensity, captioned: 'Bet you haven't ever seen a WAR like this! Let's count it down #50DaysToWar2 .... Releasing in Telugu, Hindi & Tamil on August 14th in cinemas worldwide!' — tarak9999 (@tarak9999) Ayan Mukerji's vision for the YRF Spy Universe Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 marks the next chapter in the blockbuster YRF Spy Universe , which already includes Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the original War. With cutting-edge visuals, breathtaking stunts, and a storyline set to span continents, this film is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year.
