Synopsis

Metro... In Dino

The film follows the lives of 8 people as they connect with each other and deals with themes of infidelity, abortion, and finding love. The story begins with Akash Arya, (software engineer & aspiring singer), Shruti Shukla Arya (former news reporter), and Parth Nakul Sahadev (travel blogger) who have been friends since college meet up in Bengaluru, after long time on holi. As they celebrate holi they discuss life struggles. Chumki, a confused and unsure private sector employee, also celebrates holi with her friends in Bengaluru and gets so drunk that she mixes up her apartment building name and reaches a flat in another apartment building, (the flat where Parth is to stay during his Bengaluru visit). After celebrating holi, as Parth was freshening up in bathroom suddenly Chumki barges in to vomit and then passes out. After Parth brings her out of bathroom Chumki regains consciousness, and starts screaming at Parth. Parth tries to pacify her but suddenly another girl who was supposed to meet him appears and misunderstands everything. Then Parth tries to explain to Chumki that she is in the wrong apartment. When Chumki realizes that, she apologizes and Parth agrees to drop her to her own apartment building. Suddenly, Chumki receives a call from her boyfriend/fiancé with whom she is engaged and who is also her colleague. Somehow Parth manages to take Chumki to her own apartment building where her fiancé has been waiting for her.

Bollywood Hungama

Anurag Basu's story is relatable and in sync with modern times. Anurag Basu's screenplay is effective. There are several characters and plots, and though he falters at a few places, the overall writing is smooth. Sandeep Srivastava and Samrat Chakraborty's dialogues are realistic and also dramatic. Anurag Basu's direction is great. The film is lengthy (162 minutes) but one doesn’t feel so as there’s so much happening every minute. Hence, one is constantly gripped from start to finish. The storytelling is complemented with the use of music. Just like LIFE IN A METRO [2007], Pritam and his music team can be seen performing in the film from time to time. But this time, Anurag has treated the film like Hollywood musicals like LA LA LAND [2016] and Disney flicks.
