Metro in Dino trailer explores modern love across generations — From Gen Z to elderly romance, here what Anurag Basu wants to showcase
Anurag Basu's upcoming film Metro in Dino has stirred conversation with its trailer, not just for its ensemble cast and soulful music but for its sensitive portrayal of love in different stages of Life. Lauded as a spiritual successor to Life in a Metro (2007), the film reflects how relationship dynamics have evolved—from Gen Z's complex dating lives to millennial dilemmas and even elderly love stories that still seek connection and companionship. Love in the times of modern India: A generational breakdown The trailer gives a glimpse into six stories—each representing a unique kind of relationship set in the hustle and isolation of city life. Gen Z romance: digital-age complications In Metro in Dino, Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur portray a young couple navigating the complexities of modern relationships. Their story reflects how younger generations often wrestle with commitment, identity, and the impact of social media on emotional bonding. Quick love, faster heartbreak, and self-discovery define their arc. In a candid moment from the trailer, Sara's character confronts Aditya, saying, "You're a commitment-phobic man-child," highlighting the emotional challenges faced by Gen Z in the realm of love. Millennials: Career Vs. connection Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ali Fazal bring forward the complexities faced by urban millennials—balancing career, emotional baggage, and long-term compatibility. Their narrative hints at a generation that is constantly trying to "fix" relationships while chasing stability. Elderly love: a second chance Veteran actors Pankaj Tripathi and Neena Gupta portray a tender, late-life connection. Their story is heartwarming and nostalgic, touching upon the loneliness that often follows retirement or personal loss and how love can bloom even after decades. Actors like Anupam Kher and Konkona Sen Sharma also feature in similar emotionally rich arcs that highlight love beyond youth. A callback to Life in a Metro The style, tone, and interlinked storytelling of Metro in Dino instantly remind viewers of Basu's Life in a Metro, which explored urban loneliness and complicated relationships in a rapidly growing city. While that film reflected the early 2000s mindset, Metro in Dino updates the narrative to reflect today's social shifts: Anurag Basu's storytelling remains emotionally grounded, but now it also mirrors how love has become more individualistic, nuanced, and sometimes fragile. Why this film matters now? In a world of fast swipes and fleeting connections, Metro… in Dino seems to ask a fundamental question: Do we still believe in lasting love? By showing various types of love—messy, slow, intense, and rediscovered—the film becomes a mirror for our times. It's not just about falling in love anymore. It's about healing, understanding, and growing through it—all across generations.

Aditya Roy Kapur says he doesn't understand ‘situationship', calls himself ‘old school' as he lists out red flag behaviour: ‘Someone who has a prison record'
Anurag Basu directed Metro In Dino's trailer was released in Mumbai on Wednesday. At the film's grand trailer launch event in Mumbai, the actors opened up about the lessons they have learnt from love. Aditya Roy Kapur shared his take on terms used to describe relationships, and Sara Ali Khan also shared that she does not believe in things like 'situationships.' Aditya and Sara shared their take on terms like situationship, benching, breadcrumbing. Aditya said, 'I don't even understand what the term situationship means, I am old school like that.' Sara added, 'To each their own, but I don't believe in situationship or any others.' Aditya also spoke on red flags and green flags in a relationship and said, 'For me, a red flag would be someone who has gotten a prison record. If they land up in your hall with suitcases, it might be a problem. And someone being kind is a green flag for me. That is important because if you are planning to see someone for a long time and end up being in all kinds of situations, but if they are kind its a green flag.' Fatima Sana Shaikh joked and told SCREEN, 'Bohot dard diye hai pyaar ne. (Love has given too much pain.)' Konkona Sensharma added, 'You have to be prepared for an element of risk. Life is uncertain, you have to embrace it. It's just like the box office.' Sara Ali Khan added, 'Sometimes, I struggle with going with flow, and like Konkona ma'am said, you have to just go in blind and hope for the best.' Sharing her take on love, Neena Gupta added, 'I have grown quite old, still I don't seem to know what love is. The only kind of love I know is between a parent and child.' Director Anurag Basu remembered late actor Irrfan Khan and singer KK during the event. He said, 'The whole film is, in fact, a tribute to both KK and Irrfan. We all miss them. I was just telling Bhushanji today that it was KK who beautifully complimented Pritam's compositions. KK has sung in all my movies, so obviously I miss him.' Metro In Dino also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Anupam Kher, and Ali Fazal in lead roles. The film is slated to release on July 4.
