The Love Lessons That Sara, Fatima Learned

Amid
the
action
extravaganza
and
‘big
event’
films,
Director
Anurag
Basu
brings
an
ode
to
romance
with

Metro…
In
Dino.

The
anthology
film
comes
with
a
cheerful
tagline:
‘Your
Own
Story’.

At
the
trailer
launch,
Basu
said
his
film
is
about
modern
day
relationships
that
feel
“relatable”
and
is
essentially
“diaries
of
people”
he
has
met
in
his
life.

The
plot
revolves
around
four
couples
—
portrayed
by
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh,
Ali
Fazal,
Konkona
Sen
Sharma,
Pankaj
Tripathi,
Neena
Gupta
and
Anupam
Kher
—
and
shows
their
emotional
journeys
of
love
and
heartbreaks.

When
asked
about
love
lessons
they
learned
a
hard
way,
Fatima
said
she
got
“hurt”
herself
a
lot
in
love.

Sara
said
she
just
goes
in
“blind”
into
her
relationships
and
hopes
for
the
best.

Konkona
vehemently
said
that
she
believes
in
“an
element
of
risk”
because
life
comes
with
“uncertainty”.

As
the
film
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
a
modern
metropolis,
the
cast
was
pushed
into
Gen
Z
relationship
terms
such
as
“situationship”
and
“breadcrumbing”
that
left
some
of
them
perplexed.

The
event
turned
into
a
double
celebration
for
Neena
Gupta
who
rang
in
her
66th
birthday.

She
cut
a
birthday
cake
amid
smiles,
cheers
and
a
chorus
of
warm
wishes
from
the
media
and
her
co-stars.

“I
have
never
celebrated
my
birthday
with
so
many
people
before,”
she
said
with
a
smile.

In
an
interesting
role
reversal
of
sorts,
the
cast
asked
questions
about
love
and
relationships
to
the
media
present
at
the
event.

The
questions
ranged
from
modern
dating
to
biggest
love
lessons,
and
second
chances
in
love.

The
heartfelt
responses
added
a
personal
touch
to
the
glitzy
media
event.

Sara
said
her
character
in

Metro
In
Dino
is
of
an
‘easy
breezy
girl’
who
is
‘real’
and
‘definitely
not
glamorous.’

But
the
actress
was
quickly
reminded
of
‘ladaai
(fight)’
by
Director
Basu.

The
reason
for
the
fight
was
Sara’s
quirky
new
hairstyle
for
the
film.

Sara
laughed,
as
Basu
explained,
“I
wanted
her
to
have
shorter
hair.”

Just
like
the
predecessor

Life
in
a…
Metro,
the
new
film
also
boasts
melodious
music
from
Pritam.
But
the
absence
of
late
singer
KK
is
definitely
felt.

Basu
said

Metro…
In
Dino
is
a
tribute
to
both
KK
and
Irrfan,
who
had
played
a
key
role
in

Life
In
A…
Metro.

“KK
not
only
sang
in

Metro but
all
my
movies.
So
I
miss
him,”
Basu
said.

“I
was
talking
to
Bhushanji
(Kumar,
Producer)
that
Pritam’s
compositions
are
greatly
complemented
by
KK.
The
whole
film
is
a
tribute
to
KK
and
Irrfan.
We
miss
them,”
he
added.

Metro…
In
Dino
arrives
in
cinemas
on
July
4.
