‘Metro…In Dino' teaser has dropped—and fans can't stop missing KK
KK had lent his voice to two of the most iconic tracks from Life…in a Metro — Alvida and O Meri Jaan. He died of a heart attack in May 2022.
The first look of Metro…In Dino was revealed through the teaser of its song, Zamaana Lage – composed by Pritam and sung by Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh. Released just four days ago, the clip has already gathered over 12 million views on YouTube. Yet, amid the excitement around the song and Basu's latest film, an emptiness lingers. Fans are unable to get over the absence of singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, better known as KK.
New Delhi: Anurag Basu is returning to filmmaking after five years with Metro…In Dino. The film is a spiritual sequel to his 2007-hit Life in a…Metro, which captured the interconnected lives of nine individuals living in Mumbai.
'Won't be the same without KK's vocals. Pritam and KK produced some of the greatest pieces like O Meri Jaan and Alvida. Hoping for a similar song in this album! Thank you Pritam,' wrote Instagram user rahulrome813 under Pritam's post.
Another fan, i_m_n_i_k, wrote: 'The only thing I miss the most is there will be no song of KK sir (legend gone too soon).' A third comment on the video read: 'Pritam and Arijit Singh is good for this movie but KK is a legend. Miss you sir.'
User ifhadofficial summed up the collective emotion: 'Pritam (has) still not found a replacement for KK. I think it's impossible.'
Zamaana Lage
The minute-long teaser video captures Mumbai's new and evolved cityscape, which has undergone several changes since the release of Life in a…Metro 18 years ago. The full song will release later today.
With Qaiser Ul Jafri's poignant lyrics in the backdrop, the teaser introduces the film's main characters: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Saswata Chatterjee, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma.
'The city takes away more than what it gives,' says a voiceover toward the end.
From the original cast of Life in a… Metro– which included Shilpa Shetty, Kangana Ranaut, Kay Kay Menon, Shiney Ahuja and Dharmendra – only Konkona Sen Sharma returns for the new film.
Sharing the teaser on Instagram, she wrote: 'When music meets poetry… magic happens! #ZamaanaLage — a modern ghazal for today's soul. #MetroInDino | Song drops 28th May | In cinemas 4th July.'
She also paid a heartfelt tribute to Irrfan, her co-star in Life in a… Metro: 'Here's to you, Irrfan. Miss you always.'
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu, Metro…In Dino is scheduled to release in theatres on 4 July.

US Woman Who Moved To India At 19 For A Job Shares Journey: "Love Bombay So Much"
Eliza Karaza, a Syrian-American artist and entrepreneur born in the US, shared a heartfelt post about how Mumbai transformed her life. At 19, she took a leap of faith and moved to India, despite knowing little about the city or her new life. Ten years later, she's reflecting on the journey with gratitude. In an Instagram post, Ms Karaza revealed that she moved to India in 2015 to work as an art teacher without knowing her salary or where she would live. However, Mumbai's energy and challenges helped her grow. She penned a love letter to the city, affectionately calling it "Bombay," and shared her experiences of thriving in the vibrant metropolis. Ten years ago, I went to Mumbai for a job. I hadn't spoken to the employer. I didn't know where either was staying when I got there. I didn't know how I would get to whatever unknown place they were putting me. I didn't know what my salary would be. Where the job was even going to be. It was a teaching gig, but I didn't know which school it was going to be at. But who cares?! I was 19 and excited," she wrote. See the post here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by 🌑eliza🌙 (@kweenkaraza) Ms Karaza's Instagram post about her life-changing experience in Mumbai resonated with many people. Her decision to move to India at 19 and her subsequent growth story inspired internet users who praised her courage and adaptability. One user wrote, "Recently moved to South Korea without a place to live LMAO I feel u. This post is the motivation I needed today." Another commented, "This is so inspiring, as a fellow creative navigating work for the first time." A third said, "This is peace, that eventually everything will be okay one day, and we're here just to learn. I'm going through a similar phase, and this reel gave me reassurance that feels relieving. Thank you." A fourth added, "omg you are the coolest." Notably, Ms Karaza is a Syrian-American artist and entrepreneur, born and raised in Chicago. She is the founder of Harakaat, a fashion label launched in 2020, known for hand-painted denim jackets that blend South Asian aesthetics, like Pakistani truck art, Mughal miniatures, and Bollywood motifs, with Western streetwear. Her work reflects her mixed-Arab background and Muslim identity, often challenging stereotypes through vibrant, expressive designs. Ms Karaza also co-founded Mehal House, a creative studio and lifestyle brand.

Mystery artist Banksy leaves a lighthouse and a clue in Marseille, but what's he really saying?
Mystery artist turns Marseille wall into mesmerising masterpiece A plain beige wall tucked away on a quiet street in Marseille has been transformed into a viral sensation, thanks to the elusive British street artist Banksy. In a rare social media post on Friday, the anonymous artist claimed credit for a striking new mural near the city's old port, depicting a simple white lighthouse and the cryptic words, "I want to be what you saw in me. " The location — 1 Rue Félix Frégier in Marseille's 7th arrondissement, is already attracting flocks of curious tourists and devoted art fans. Many arrived within hours of Banksy's Instagram post, guided by GPS coordinates included in the caption. But the mural's magic doesn't stop at its poetic phrase. A street post standing in front of the wall creates an optical illusion, casting a shadow that aligns perfectly with the beam of the painted lighthouse, making it appear as if the lighthouse is glowing in real time. 'What you saw in me' While Banksy hasn't explained the meaning behind the emotionally charged phrase, fans online are speculating it's a lyric from "Softy," a 2001 ballad by American country group Lonestar. Others see it as a quiet reflection on perception, self-worth, or lost love, a departure from Banksy's usual political punch. Unlike his often subversive or politically loaded murals, this piece seems rooted in something more personal and poetic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo It is not believed to be a political message, though some are calling it one of his most moving works in recent years. From street to spotlight The surprise appearance of the mural comes just two weeks before a major Banksy retrospective opens in nearby Toulon on June 14. The Museum of Art will showcase 80 of his works, including rare pieces and fan favourites. Another Banksy exhibition opened on Saturday in Montpellier. Previous Banksy murals have been either cut from walls, vandalised, or sold off by property owners hoping to cash in on the artist's global fame. Despite his secrecy and refusal to be photographed or interviewed, Banksy has become a multi-million-dollar phenomenon since breaking out in the late 1990s. His blend of stencilled simplicity, emotional subtext, and timely commentary continues to resonate across generations. Marseille's newest landmark? Whether it's a love letter or a lighthouse metaphor for hope, Banksy's Marseille mural is already becoming a landmark of its own. By midday Friday, the hashtag #BanksyMarseille was trending across France and beyond, with some fans making pilgrimage-style visits just to snap a photo before it's too late. As one local said while standing in front of the mural, "It's beautiful — but it feels like it could vanish at any moment. That's Banksy."
