Pankaj Tripathi On Comparisons With Irrfan Khan In 'Metro In Dino': 'This Should Never Happen'
Pankaj Tripathi says comparisons with Irrfan Khan for his role in Metro In Dino are unfair and unnecessary. With Metro… In Dino hitting theatres on July 4, actor Pankaj Tripathi has addressed the inevitable comparisons with the late Irrfan Khan. The film, touted as a spiritual sequel to Life In A… Metro (2007), sees Pankaj stepping into the shoes of a character reminiscent of Irrfan's iconic Monty, a quirky, emotionally layered man navigating the complexities of modern relationships. Irrfan, paired with Konkona Sensharma in the original, left an indelible mark as Monty, and in Metro… In Dino, it's again Konkona alongside Pankaj portraying a married couple going through a midlife crisis. Naturally, the film has evoked memories of Irrfan's effortless screen presence, and Pankaj's restrained humour and depth have drawn parallels from audiences and critics alike. In a recent interview with Zoom, Pankaj Tripathi made it clear that such comparisons are misplaced. 'Yeh comparison bilkul nahi hona chahiye. Voh mere senior the aur main unka fan rahunga. Mere drama school ke senior the voh. Hum ek hi acting institute se seekhe hai. Main khud unke craft ko dekhke seekhta tha. Voh Irrfan sir hai, unki jagah hum sabke dilon mein hai," he said. (Translation: Such comparison should never happen. He was my senior and I will always be his fan. We passed out of the same drama school; I learnt so much just by observing his craft. He is Irrfan sir and will always have a place in our hearts.) Directed by Anurag Basu, Metro… In Dino features an ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal. The film explores love and longing in the backdrop of the city and has been praised for its mature storytelling, soulful music by Pritam, and sincere performances. An excerpt from News18's review reads, 'Metro In Dino is a masterclass on modern-day love. It's for the lonely, for the ones who won in love and then lost some. Rush to the cinemas now!"

‘Metro... In Dino' review: Love feels a tad dated in Anurag Basu's multi-city saga
Seventeen years after he tugged heartstrings with Life in a... Metro, Anurag Basu and Pritam are back navigating love in the big city, or should we say cities. The stories this time shift between Bengaluru, New Delhi and Calcutta. For Metro... In Dino, Basu adopts a less-seen, interesting narrative device to lure viewers into the world: characters introducing themselves by way of sing-song dialogue Sara Ali Khan's Chumki professing she's confused and unsure; there's Konkona SenSharma's Kajol discussing her insipid marital life; there's Anupam Kher, playing a widower, opening up about losing his loved ones in an accident; there's Ali Fazal's aspiring singer sharing his there's Pritam, Papon and Raghav Chaitanya, the travelling troubadours in the backdrop. Offering a peek into a character's current state of mind and establishing their world, the first half breezes here include SenSharma and Pankaj Tripathi as the couple who have fallen into a boring routine, which leads to the husband seeking companionship on a dating app, Linger. The fun begins when she catches on to his infidelity and signs up on the service to lure him into a virtual relationship with a woman named Maya (which translates to illusion, get it?). It's the track that most lends itself to laughs as both play the game of deception for different purposes—one to seek an escape, the other to impart a lesson. And it enables Basu to look at the fleeting nature of love in the digital age. Tripathi and SenSharma are just the right fit for the odd couple whose repartee keeps things the extreme end is the story of Fatima Sana Shaikh and Fazal, a newly married couple whose relationship faces hiccups as one flourishes professionally while the other struggles. Long distance only makes things college buddy (Aditya Roy Kapur) uses the rather extreme label of 'toxic love' to summarise their relationship, but this is, in fact, a story which touches on life after settling with your loved one—the hardships, the anxiety, the uncertainty. Confronting it can kill many a relationship, so it's a pity that Basu struggles to fit this sombre take on love amidst the of that comes via Chumki (Khan) and Parth (Roy Kapur), who have their meet-cute moment after a wasted Chumki ends up in the wrong apartment and finds herself with a travel blogger-theatre actor and coach in Roy Kapur. He's commitment phobic or a 'phattu manchild' in Chumki's words; she's engaged to be married to her about the two adds up, but this is the token opposites attract, mysterious love track that has carried many a romcoms. While it starts out with promise, it soon becomes a tedious affair to see the pair dilly-dally, only to have the most contrived what-the-hell unsurprising then that Metro... In Dino is struck by the curse of the second half. Neena Gupta and Kher, as college sweethearts who reconnect during a reunion, is a plot full of promise but gets turned into a farce with little emotional takeaway. The art of reconciliation and forgiveness becomes an exasperating exercise as characters chase and wait for the epiphany to some gyaan on relationship sprinkled in, which reads like an entry out of a Chicken Soup book. 'Shaadi kuch sikhae ya na sikhae, acting karna sikha deti hai (Marriage teaches feigning),' says one character while another talks of the need of adjustment. Another talks of the significance of falling in love with the same person again and again to make it the ensuing half-baked conflict, Basu shows some of his characters live life vicariously albeit fleetingly. But to serve what purpose is the question? In the quest to pack in Pritam's voluminous output, Metro... In Dino turns into a protracted saga whose conclusion is long foreseeable. It doesn't help that logic too has taken a trip, much like many of the characters do. Love certainly has evolved since the first Metro, but in Metro... In Dino, it surprisingly seems to India Today Magazine- EndsTrending Reel

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 15: Aamir Khan's emotional sequel slows but stays strong at ₹135 Cr
Aamir Khan's much-anticipated sequel 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has wrapped up its second week at the box office with a steady yet slowing performance. On Day 14 (Thursday), the film collected ₹ 2.5 crore across India, bringing its total net collection in the domestic market to ₹ 135.4 crore. The day 15 collection marks a 9.09% drop from the previous day, signalling the expected weekday slump following a decent second weekend. The week two total stands at ₹ 46.5 crore, which is a 47.69% drop from the opening week—indicating a clear slowdown in momentum as the film enters its third weekend. Despite the dip, the film's overall performance remains strong. The 15-day India gross stands at ₹ 161.90 crore, while the worldwide total has reached an impressive ₹ 214.50 crore. Of this, overseas earnings contribute ₹ 52.60 crore, a sign that Aamir Khan's global appeal remains intact. Occupancy figures reflect the gradual decline in footfall. On Day 15, Hindi (2D) occupancy averaged just over 10% throughout the day, with morning shows seeing 7.66% attendance, gradually rising to 11.97% by night. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 cult classic 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach assigned to train a group of neurodivergent children after being involved in a driving-related incident. Genelia D'Souza co-stars, and the film notably features ten neurodivergent debutant actors. On Wednesday, the cast and crew held a special screening in Mumbai for specially-abled students, attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Amruta Fadnavis. As the film enters its third week, it faces competition from 'Metro…In Dino', a multi-starrer directed by Anurag Basu. With big names like Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sara Ali Khan, the new release could impact Sitaare Zameen Par's box office run.
