Star Cast: R Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh

Director: Vivek Soni

Aap Jaisa Koi Movie Review Synopsis:
AAP JAISA KOI is the story of two opposite people in love. Shrirenu Tripathi (R Madhavan) is a 42-year-old Sanskrit teacher in Jamshedpur. He lives with his brother Bhanu Tripathi (Manish Chaudhari), sister-in-law Kusum (Ayesha Raza), sister Nisha (Shriyam Bhagnani), uncle Pramod (Sanjeev Wilson) and his wife Pramila (Ritu Chaudhry Seth). He is struggling to find a match for marriage. As luck would have it, a 32-year-old Kolkata-based girl, Madhu Bose (Fatima Sana Shaikh), expresses interest. Both meet and sparks fly. Shrirenu, at first, doesn’t believe his luck and soon comes to term that Madhu indeed accepts him wholeheartedly. All is going well until one day, all hell breaks loose. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Aap Jaisa Koi Movie Story Review:
Radhika Anand’s story is progressive. Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa’s screenplay is imaginative and simple. Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa’s dialogues are one of the USPs of the film.

Vivek Soni’s direction is excellent. He tells a simple story but in a very stylish way. This is evident from the very first scene. He infuses humour in abundance to get the message across. On top of it, he gives a very dreamy look to the film. The manner in which Shrirenu is unable to believe that Madhu has shown interest in him is amusing as well as heartbreaking. Their courtship is cute while the midpoint of the film is dramatic. It’s the second half where the film gets serious and makes a hard-hitting impact. Also, many films of this genre tend to get dragging but this one moves at a fine pace with a crisp run time of just 115 minutes.

On the flipside, tracks of two characters culminate abruptly. The ‘mummy-daddy’ joke might have sounded funny on paper but doesn’t land properly. Lastly, the entire track Shrirenu asking a student to interview Madhu’s family is very difficult to digest. Wouldn’t have they told Madhu at some point about it? Moreover, no explanation is given who is Chaitali (Dipika Singh), who gives away crucial information about Madhu’s past.

Aap Jaisa Koi Movie Review Performances:
R Madhavan slips into the part of a 42-year-old virgin effortlessly. His expressions and his awkward behaviour are just right for his character. Fatima Sana Shaikh’s look and also some of the aspects of the film might remind viewers of ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI [2023] but soon, the comparisons are forgotten. Fatima brings her own touch to the character and is quite impressive. First METRO…IN DINO and now AAP JAISA KOI, the actress is on a roll. Namit Das (Deepak) is apt for the role of the sidekick. Manish Chaudhari delivers an authentic performance while Ayesha Raza makes her presence felt. Shriyam Bhagnani is memorable in the railway station scene. Sanjeev Wilson has limited screen time but leaves a mark. Shubhronil Chatterjee (Joy Mamaji) looks dashing and delivers a fine performance. Beena Banerjee (Didi Ma) is lovely. Ritu Chaudhry Seth, Anubha Fatehpuria (Anupama; Madhu’s mother), Kumar Kanchan Ghosh (Pritam Mausaji), Pubali Sanyal (Bidhisha Mausi), Ananya Chatterjee (Shona Masi) and Shashie Vermaa (Parikshit Mausaji) don’t get much scope. Karan Wahi (Namit Agarwal) is decent. Sachin Choudhary (Rakesh; student) plays an interesting character and does well.

Aap Jaisa Koi movie music and other technical aspects:
Music should pick up after the film’s release. ‘Jab Tu Sajan’ is visually stunning and kudos to the makers for thinking out of the box. ‘Mila Tujhe’ works as the theme song. ‘Dhuan Dhuan’ is okay while ‘Saare Jag Mein’ is catchy. ‘Jaadu Wali Chimki’ is also well picturized. Justin Prabhakaran’s background score is in sync with the mood of the film.

Debojeet Ray’s cinematography is lovely and the use of lights complements the visuals. Veera Kapur Ee’s costumes are simple in the case of R Madhavan and stunning in the case of Fatima Sana Shaikh. Aparna Sud’s production design has a fairy tale feel. Special mention should also go to Run Frenzy Films for the unique title design. Prashanth Ramachandran’s editing is slick.

Aap Jaisa Koi Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, AAP JAISA KOI is a simple love story told stylishly. At the same time, it also raises an important comment and hence, is bound to find takers.

Star Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar

Director: Pulkit

Maalik Movie Review Synopsis:
MAALIK is the story of a gangster. The year is 1988. Deepak aka Maalik (Rajkummar Rao) is a gangster based in Allahabad. He has the support of the local political leader Shankar Singh aka Dadda (Saurabh Shukla). Dadda also mentors MLA Balhar Singh (Swanand Kirkire) and he’s fed up with the rising power of Maalik. Things get heated when Maalik kills a cop for stopping his trucks at a checkpost. With no other option, MLA assigns Prabhu Das (Prosenjit Chatterjee) as the new SP of Allahabad. Prabhu has 98 encounters with his kitty and was suspended for his activities. As he commences his duty in Allahabad, he decides to eliminate Maalik once and for all, more so after the latter threatens his grandchild. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Maalik Movie Story Review:
Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit’s story is clichéd. Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit’s screenplay is okay in some parts but overall, it offers very little novelty value. Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit’s dialogues are hard-hitting.

Pulkit’s direction is decent. He treats the film in a massy manner and has peppered the narrative with commercial and action-packed scenes. He has also fleshed out great performances from his lead actors. The intermission point is arresting. The track of Shalini (Manushi Chhillar) in the second half looks forced at first but is the best part of the film.

On the flipside, it tells a story that we have seen in many gangster films in the past from VAASTAV to the SHOOTOUT series. Even the web is full of such shows. In fact, Maalik gives a strong déjà vu of KHAKEE: THE BIHAR CHAPTER. While the first half is shorter, the second half is nearly 90 minutes long; in some scenes, it tests the patience of the viewers. Also, ideally, the film should have ended with the madness at the abandoned house. The Calcutta scene is unwanted and also plain silly.

Maalik – Trailer | Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar

Maalik Movie Review Performances:
Rajkummar Rao always gives his best and MAALIK is no exception. He looks completely convincing as a dreaded gangster. The scene where he hangs four people at once is memorable and proves yet again that he’s one of the best actors at present. Manushi Chhillar doesn’t have much to do initially but later she is a surprise. She neatly pulls off the role of a village girl. Anshumaan Pushkar (Badaun) has a crucial part and leaves a huge mark. After 12TH FAIL [2023], this is yet another praiseworthy performance from the talented actor. Prosenjit Chatterjee is decent and one wishes he had more to do in the film. Saurabh Shukla, Swanand Kirkire and Saurabh Sachdeva (Chandrashekhar) are dependable. Rajendra Gupta (Bindeshwar; Maalik’s father) and Baljinder Kaur (Parvati; Maalik’s mother) do well but are completely forgotten after a point. Yogi Raj (Langda) makes his presence felt. The actor playing the checkpoint cop is fair. Huma Qureshi looks stunning in the dance number.

Maalik movie music and other technical aspects:
Songs fail to entice. ‘Namumkin’ works due to the picturization. ‘Dil Thaam Ke’ is forgettable. ‘Raaj Karega Maalik’ doesn’t suit the film’s mood and setting. Ketan Sodha’s background score has a cinematic feel.

Anuj Rakesh Dhawan’s cinematography is satisfactory. Niharika Bhasin’s costumes are simple while Rita Ghosh’s production design is authentic. Vikram Dahiya’s action is gory. Zubin Sheikh’s editing could have been slicker.

Maalik Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, MAALIK presents Rajkummar Rao in a never-before-seen avatar, but beneath his striking transformation lies a routine gangster drama that treads familiar ground. With stiff competition at the box office, its prospects seem limited, though it might find some takers in the single screens of B and C centres.

Star Cast: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult

Director: James Gunn

Superman Movie Review Synopsis:
SUPERMAN is the story of a superhero fighting a tough battle. Superman (David Corenswet) has been battling evil on Earth for three years and has become a favourite of the local population in Metropolis, USA. He stops the country of Boravia from invading the neighbouring country of Jarhanpur. As a result, he gets into the bad books of billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), who has a secret deal with Boravian president Vasil Glarkos (Zlatko Burić). As revenge, Superman is attacked badly by Ultraman aka ‘Hammer Of Boravia’. Lex goes all out and starts a campaign to defame and ultimately destroy Superman. He hits a jackpot when he retrieves a message sent by Superman’s parents. Meanwhile, Superman is living a double life, that of nerdy journalist Clark Kent. As Clark, he works for The Daily Planet and is in a relationship with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). She is aware of his superhero identity and has reservations about certain actions of Superman, causing friction in their relationship. Meanwhile, the allegations against Superman become quite serious, leading to his arrest. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Superman Movie Story Review:
James Gunn’s story is fresh and yet has the trademark stamp of Superman. James Gunn’s screenplay is gripping and fast-paced. The dialogues are well-worded and sharp.

James Gunn’s direction is exemplary. He doesn’t waste time at all in introducing Superman and in a rare instance, even the base of the conflict is not explained. A unique write-up in the beginning sums it up and once that fades away, the narrative progresses ahead. What also strikes is that this is a very today’s film. Hence, it is in sync with the geopolitical tensions of the present age and also touches upon the role of social media. The beginning is fine but what ups the film is the interview between Lois and Superman. The film gets even better once Superman is imprisoned. The tension levels in the pocket universe track are raised significantly. The climax is nail-biting and applause-worthy.

On the flipside, not having a conventional intro is a well-intentioned idea. Yet, it takes a while to settle into the experience since the audience is not used to it. Secondly, this is not exactly a family-friendly fare as the violence is a bit more disturbing than the other superhero flicks. The much-hyped mid-credit and post-credit scenes are random and will disappoint viewers. Lastly, the buzz in India is limited.

Superman Movie Review Performances:
David Corenswet makes a risky move by essaying a character which has been played by Henry Cavill beautifully. However, David brings his own touch and does full justice. Rachel Brosnahan has a crucial part and she is exceptional. Nicholas Hoult is too good as the villain. The antagonist here is quite powerful and that adds to the entertainment quotient. Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific) is the surprise of the film. He is like the other main hero of the film. Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Oslen) leaves a tremendous mark while Sara Sampaio (Eve) and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer) make their presence felt. Anthony Carrigan (Rex/Metamorpho). Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern) and Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) do well but get limited scope. Pruitt Taylor Vince (Jonathan Kent), Neva Howell (Martha Kent) and Wendell Pierce (Perry; editor of The Daily Planet) are fair. Zlatko Burić is over the top but it works for his character.

Superman movie music and other technical aspects:
John Murphy and David Fleming’s music has a cinematic feel. Henry Braham’s cinematography is breathtaking. The VFX matches global standards and even the 3D is impressive. The action is gory in many places. Judianna Makovsky’s costumes are rich while Beth Mickle’s production design is classy. William Hoy and Craig Alpert’s editing is slick.

Superman Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, SUPERMAN marks an impressive start to the new DC Universe. With its fast-paced narrative, standout performances and edge-of-the-seat moments, it delivers solid entertainment and ensures audiences get their money’s worth. At the box office, it has the potential to surprise and emerge as the third consecutive Hollywood hit, following F1: THE MOVIE and JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH.

Star Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend

Director: Gareth Edwards

Jurassic World: Rebirth Movie Review Synopsis:
JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH is the story of a group of humans in a no-go zone. The public interest in dinosaurs has waned. They are dead or either dying and the only set of dinosaurs to survive are around the Equator. The zone is prohibited. Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), a former ex-military covert operative, meets Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend) of ParkerGenix, a pharmaceutical company in New York. Martin asks her to join him in the dinosaur region. The mission is to take blood samples of three creatures, namely Mosasaurus, Titanosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus. It will be used to create a drug that can help in heart problems, a condition faced by many in the World. In return, Martin agrees to give Zora a huge amount of money. Zora realizes that the price offered will secure her life and she agrees. They are joined by palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey). The trio head to Paramaribo, Suriname where they meet Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), a close friend of Zora and owner of the boat, Essex. He, too, comes on board. The four of them along with the driver of Duncan’s team, Leclerc (Bechir Sylvain), mercenary Nina (Philippine Velge) and the chief of security on The Essex, Bobby Atwater (Ed Skrein), begin their expedition. Meanwhile, Reuben Delgado (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), his daughters Teresa (Luna Blaise) and Isabella (Audrina Miranda) and Teresa’s boyfriend Xavier (David Iacono) are heading from Barbados to Cape Town in their yacht when it gets attacked by a dinosaur. They are rescued by Team Zora; the latter doesn’t tell the shipwreck family about their plans. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Movie Story Review:
David Koepp’s story is intriguing. David Koepp’s screenplay is effective. He wrote JURASSIC PARK [1993] and THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK [1997], that is the first two parts of the iconic franchise. As a result, he brings some freshness and also old-school entertainment to the writing. The dialogues are great.

Gareth Edwards’ direction is very entertaining. This is his first JURASSIC WORLD film and provides his own touch. The move pays off as one can sense that one can experience something different from the previous films and yet it remains in the zone that the series is known for. The plot itself is promising and once the expedition begins, it makes for a thrilling ride. Some of the scenes that stand out are Rebuen’s ship getting destroyed, Zora successfully getting the blood samples of the Mosasaurus, Xavier relieving himself while violence breaks out behind him, the madness involving the raft, etc. The scene of Titanosaurus is sweet and brings some relief from the chase and thrill. The finale is nail-biting.

On the flipside, though the plot is not clichéd, the visuals are. The VFX team, of course, has given their best but the tension gets diluted as we have seen it all before. The final fight is stretched and there are cinematic liberties galore in the narrative. It’s also difficult to digest that there is no supervision happening through satellite over boats entering the prohibited zone. Lastly, the film releases amid many other exciting movies and this can prove detrimental.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Movie Review Performances:
Scarlett Johansson brings star value and also delivers a kickass performance. She is no damsel in distress and is the protector here, a part that suits her completely. Mahershala Ali charms with his smile and able performance. Jonathan Bailey is a bit subtle and it works for him. Rupert Friend is apt for the part. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo lends able support and communicates a lot just through his expressions. David Iacono is the surprise of the film. One expects his character to be a certain way but he does the unexpected. Luna Blaise gives an effective performance while Audrina Miranda is cute. Bechir Sylvain, Philippine Velge and Ed Skrein are okay in small roles.

Jurassic World: Rebirth movie music and other technical aspects:
Alexandre Desplat’s music has the JURASSIC WORLD trademark stamp. John Mathieson’s cinematography is breathtaking. The VFX matches global standards. The action is a bit gory but is suitable for family viewing. James Clyne’s production design is rich while Sammy Sheldon’s costumes are stylish yet realistic.  Jabez Olssen’s editing is appropriate.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH delivers the expected thrills, with the writing and execution bringing a touch of freshness to the franchise. However, its box office potential may remain underutilized due to the absence of an IMAX release and intense competition from holdover titles, new releases and upcoming films.

Star Cast: Abhishek A Bachchan, Daivik Baghela, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub

Director: Madhumita

Kaalidhar Laapata Movie Review Synopsis:
KAALIDHAR LAAPATA is the story of an unusual friendship. Kaalidhar (Abhishek A Bachchan) lives in a town in North India with his brother Manohar (Vishwanath Chatterjee), Manohar’s wife Neetu (Madhulika Jatoliya), brother Sundar (Priyank Tiwari) and sister Gudiya (Priya Yadav). Kaalidhar is the eldest sibling and has taken care of his family after the untimely demise of his parents. After Kaalidhar is diagnosed with memory issues, Manohar, Neetu and Sundar realize that it’ll get difficult to take care of him. Hence, they decide to get rid of him. First, they surreptitiously take his thumbprint on property papers. Then they take him to Kumbh Mela and abandon him. They hope that Kalidhar will anyway forget about them due to his condition after which they can go back home and inform everyone that Kalidhar is no more. However, Kalidhar locates them and overhears their hidden agenda. As a result, Kalidhar leaves the town and reaches Bhojpur. Here, he befriends an orphan kid, Ballu (Daivik Baghela) and both strike a friendship. On the other hand, due to a change of circumstances, Manohar, Neetu and Sundar are now desperate to find the whereabouts of Kaalidhar. They take the help of Subodh (Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub), who makes it his life mission to locate Kaalidhar. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Kaalidhar Laapata Movie Story Review:
KAALIDHAR LAAPATA is adapted from the 2019 Malayalam film KD. Madhumita’s story is different from the original version. Madhumita and Amitosh Nagpal’s screenplay is breezy though it could have been better. Madhumita and Amitosh Nagpal’s dialogues are entertaining.

Madhumita’s direction is simple. The plus point of the film is the bond shared by Kalidhar and Ballu and it takes the cake. The performances further add to the impact. A few funny scenes will leave a smile while the emotional scenes also work.

Kaalidhar Laapata Official Trailer | Abhishek Bachchan | Daivik | Premieres 4th July 2025 on Zee5

On the flipside, the beginning portion of the film gives a déjà vu of VANVAAS [2024], which is also about a family dumping the patriarch with fading memory in a crowded religious spot. Kaalidhar’s memory issues are not properly depicted and this is something that will surely bewilder the audience. Moreover, the whole idea of Kaalidhar consuming biryani in such a manner that it tempts other customers to order the same dish is a great idea but somehow hasn’t been executed well.

Kaalidhar Laapata Movie Review Performances:
Abhishek A Bachchan is in his element as expected and genuinely comes up with a fine performance. However, he looks too young for the role. He would have suited this character 10 years from now. Right now, he doesn’t seem apt for a role that his father also did in BAGHBAN [2003]. Daivik Baghela is the surprise of the film and is truly a scene-stealer. Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub is dependable as always. Vishwanath Chatterjee, Priyank Tiwari and Madhulika Jatoliya lend able support. Richa Meena (Subodh’s wife) is okay. Nimrat Kaur (Meera) is superb in a special appearance.

Kaalidhar Laapata movie music and other technical aspects:
Songs are okay. ‘Haseen Pareshaaniyaan’ has a catchy tune while ‘Hans Ke Jaane De’ comes at an important juncture. ‘Dil Banjaara’ is peppy. Tajdar Junaid’s background score is simple.

Ashwini Shrivastav’s production design is straight out of life. Sheetal Iqbal Sharma’s costumes are awkward but at the same time, convincing. Gairik Sarkar’s editing is decent though in some scenes, it’s a bit jerky and needlessly fast-paced.

Kaalidhar Laapata Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, KAALIDHAR LAAPATA has its heart in the right place, buoyed by sincere performances and a few heartwarming moments. However, the inconsistent writing, miscasting and an overwhelming sense of déjà vu from films like BAGHBAN and VANVAAS pull it down. It’s a film that tugs at your emotions but stumbles too often to leave a lasting impact.

Star Cast: Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher

Director: Anurag Basu

Metro…In Dino Movie Review Synopsis:
METRO…IN DINO is the story of relationships and their complexities. Monty (Pankaj Tripathi) and Kajol (Konkona Sen Sharma) reside in Mumbai and have been married for nearly two decades. Their relationship might seem perfect from the outside, but they have differences, and as a result, they keep arguing all the time. Intimacy is also missing in their life. Monty’s colleague suggests that he should download a dating app and initiate an extramarital affair. He believes that this would reignite the spark in his marriage. Monty puts the plan in motion, resulting in disastrous consequences. Kajol’s mother Shivani (Neena Gupta) lives in Pune with hubby Sanjeev (Saswata Chatterjee). Theirs is also a soul-less marriage, and she gets a chance to have some excitement in life when her college batch decides on a reunion in Kolkata. This means that she can reconnect with Parimal (Anupam Kher), her boyfriend in college. Kajol’s youngster Thumri aka Chumki (Sara Ali Khan) works in Delhi as an HR professional. She is in Bengaluru for work when she accidentally enters Parth’s (Aditya Roy Kapur) house, leading to issues with her fiancé, Anand (Kush Jotwani). Parth and his friend Shruti (Fatima Sana Shaikh) pretend to be a married couple and make it clear to Anand that there’s nothing between Parth and Chumki. Shruti lives in Bengaluru with her husband Akash (Ali Fazal). Shruti is craving to have a child, while Akash is craving to leave his corporate job and become a singer in films. Realizing that Akash is struggling with his job, she decides to opt for an abortion and shift to Delhi for better career prospects. Akash, meanwhile, lands in Mumbai and begins to struggle while trying his luck in the film industry. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Metro…In Dino Movie Story Review:
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. Hence, expect dialogues in places to be in the form of songs. He attempted this style in JAGGA JASOOS [2017] as well, but this time, there’s a novel touch as the setting is different. Each plot has its charm, but the one involving Monty and Kajol brings the house down. The manner in which Monty is seen conversing on the dating app, not realizing who’s chatting with him, will lead to endless laughter in cinemas. Another remarkable aspect is the homage to the previous METRO film, that too to the track of Irrfan Khan.

On the downside, the film can be confusing at times, making it essential to watch with full concentration. The beginning 10 minutes are a bit odd as Anurag Basu just throws you into their world without a conventional introduction of the characters. Hence, one might feel disconnected initially, though the film picks up well. But in the second half, the film again slips as the happenings in a few plots are over the top, especially the Monty-Kajol track. Even Parimal’s plan seems far-fetched.

Metro…In Dino (Official Trailer) | Aditya Roy Kapur | Sara Ali Khan | Ali Fazal | Fatima Sana Shaikh

Metro…In Dino Movie Review Performances:
METRO…IN DINO has an ensemble cast, and every actor has done a great job. But it’s Pankaj Tripathi who steals the show. There’s a certain innocence to him that helps him big time, and performance-wise, he’s outstanding. In fact, this is one of his most accomplished performances ever. He dominates every other actor, and that’s a feat. Konkona Sen Sharma is the next best and is terrific as always. Sara Ali Khan is alright, while Aditya Roy Kapur effortlessly slips into the part. Fatima Sana Shaikh proves yet again that she’s a powerful performer. Ali Fazal leaves a huge mark but has very limited screen time. Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher are lovely as expected. Saswata Chatterjee, Kush Jotwani, Darshana Banik (Jhunuk), Rohan Gurbaxani (Anand), Pranay Pachauri (Aryan), and the actors playing Kajol-Monty’s daughter Pihu and Cameraman Amay also do very well. The cameos by Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Basu are lovely.

Metro…In Dino movie music and other technical aspects:
The music is the strength of the film. There are more than a dozen songs and the way they have been woven into the narrative is commendable. ‘Dhaagena Tinak Dhin’ takes the cake because of its catchy tune and visuals. ‘Zamaana Lage’ comes next. ‘Dil Ka Kya’, ‘Mann Ye Mera’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon’, ‘Qayde Se’ etc. are melodious. The recitatives (sung dialogues) are also impressive. Pritam’s background score is soulful.

Abhishek Basu and Anurag Basu’s cinematography is classy and they ensure the cities look charming. Aashish Dwyer’s costumes are as per the character’s traits. The production design is satisfactory. Bodhaditya Bandyopadhyay and Satish Gowda’s editing is functional.

Metro…In Dino Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, METRO…IN DINO stands out as a refreshing, one-of-a-kind musical entertainer that thrives on its relatable characters, engaging mix of humour and drama, and stellar performances. At the box office, it’s well-positioned to resonate strongly with multiplex audiences, who are expected to connect with its heart and soul.
