Konkona Sen Sharma
is the only cast member returning from the original 'Life in a… Metro'.
While the film is still playing in theatres, it has already confirmed its digital streaming plans with Netflix as its OTT partner. Although the exact streaming date hasn't been announced yet, films usually release online about 45 to 60 days after hitting theatres. So, the film is likely to arrive on Netflix by late August or early September.
Directed by Anurag Basu, the music of the film is composed by Pritam.
An excerpt from our ETimes review for the film reads, "The treatment bears a slight resemblance to the tragicomedy tone of Barfi, with actors breaking into impromptu songs to take the story ahead. When the actors are not miming, Pritam, Papon and Raghav Chaitanya stay constant as sutradhars through their music, so expect a plethora of songs, making this a true-blue romantic musical. Interestingly, Basu doesn't tell us the names of his characters and their stories upfront. You discover them sporadically and organically. This withholding and release strategy helps in breaking clutter and adding an element of mystery to the story."

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is the next big movie in the hit anime series, covering the first half of the Final Battle arc from Koyoharu Gotouge's manga. The movie takes fans straight into the Infinity Castle, a terrifying, shifting fortress controlled by the demons. This is where Muzan Kibutsuji's strongest fighters wait, the Upper Moons. Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Hashiras find themselves inside this nightmarish space, forced into non-stop, life-or-death battles. The animation, pace, and emotional intensity are expected to be even higher than what we saw in the Swordsmith Village arc. This is war, and not everyone makes it out. Before you watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, here's a quick recap of the story so far Tanjiro's journey began with his family being killed by demons, and his sister, Nezuko, turned into one. He joined the Demon Slayer Corps, trained under Urokodaki, and started fighting demons across Japan. He met Zenitsu and Inosuke, two very different but loyal fighters, and together they formed a close bond. With help from the Hashira, Tanjiro faced major threats like Rui (Natagumo Mountain), Enmu (Mugen Train), Akaza, Daki, and Gyutaro. Most recently, the trio helped defeat two Upper Moons in the Swordsmith Village arc, while Nezuko achieved the impossible, walking under the sun without dying. But with Muzan learning this, things have turned deadly. He's more desperate than ever. Now, all of them are being pulled into the Infinity Castle, where the final fight begins.

Wednesday Season 2 Twitter Reviews: Fans can't get enough of Jenna Ortega starrer; say 'darker, funnier' plot is much better than Season 1
'Wednesday' starring Jenna Ortega , is back for another thrilling season and going by the early buzz, the reviews for Season 2 - Part 1 has been overwhelmingly positive. Within hours of Netflix dropping the first four episodes, fans turned to social media to share their honest reviews and comments about the show. Viewers are hailing the latest chapter as a vast improvement over its predecessor, with darker storylines, humour, deeper ties to the Addams family, and plenty of intrigue to keep audiences hooked. 'Wednesday Season 2 is a lot better than Season 1 so far. Now… to wait a month for four more episodes,' wrote one fan, echoing the sentiment of many frustrated by the mid-season break. Another viewer posted, 'OMG 1 more episode left of #WednesdaySeason2 and it's so good. So much darker, funnier and epic with cameos. I can't wait to finish the last 1 and get to part 2.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The show's character arcs have also been appreciated. 'In my opinion, S2 is better than S1. More horror, more Addams family, the new characters, Willow Hill, Wednesday doing everything in her power to save Enid, etc. I really dislike the love triangle with Enid though — just like I hated the one with Wednesday,' a fan noted, reflecting the mix of praise and critique circulating online. The gothic visuals and family-centric narrative have also earned praise. Pinkvilla captured the mood well with tweets like, 'The second season of #Wednesday… it is clear it won't disappoint! It's fabulous!!!!!' Others celebrated the show's immersive vibe from the get-go. 'I'm not even halfway through the first episode of #Wednesday Season 2, and I'm having the BEST time,' one user exclaimed. 'The vibes are fresh and exciting, and the cast steps back into their roles like they never left.' 'WEDNESDAY SEASON 2 IS ALREADY A MASTERPIECE' declared another. While the overwhelming sentiment is one of admiration, some viewers voiced frustration at the makers' decision to release the season in two parts. Reviews lamented the wait for the remaining episodes, calling the split release 'half‑baked.' According to Rotten Tomatoes, the show has already received an 83% critics rating and an 86% audience rating, already much higher than season 1, thus setting the tone of a promising Part 2. Those waiting to see how this mystery ends, will have to wait until September 3.
