Like
every
Anurag
Basu
film,
music
is
a
key
character
in

Metro…
In
Dino
,
too.

This
important
element
of
the
film
was
unveiled
at
the
musical
gathering
where
the
cast
and
creators
came
together
to
celebrate
the
‘Soul
of

Metro…
In
Dino
’.

A
live
orchestra,
the
spontaneity
of
the
musicians,
and
the
soulfulness
of
the
music
elevated
an
intimate
setting
to
concert
feels.

Music
composer
Pritam
was
joined
by
his
team
of
singers,
including
Papon,
Shilpa
Rao,
Raghav
Chaitanya
and
Akasa
Singh,
and
all
of
them
managed
to
charm
the
music
lovers
with
their
signature
style.

The
highlight
turned
out
to
be
a
‘newcomer’,
who
was
earlier
praised
by
Pritam
as
an
‘amazing
singer’.

It’s
none
other
than
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
who
not
only
stars
in
the
film
but
has
also
sung
several
songs
himself.

Aditya
flashed
a
nervous
smile
when
he
arrived
on
stage,
and
greeted
the
audience,
saying:
“Hello
friends,
I
am
a
newcomer,
I
need
your
support.”

The
actor
put
up
a
musical
performance
on

Ishq
Hai
Ya
Tharak
,
a
peppy
track
that
offers
a
contemporary
take
on
love
and
connection.

This
was
met
with
resounding
cheers
from
fans,
who
hadn’t
heard
Aditya
sing…
until
now.

The
film’s
cast,
including
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Ali
Fasal,
Konkona
Sen
Sharma,
Fatima
Sana
Sheikh
and
Neena
Gupta

were
seen
singing,
grooving,
and
just
immersing
themselves
into
the
musical
vibe,
like
a
bunch
of
friends
enjoying
a
karaoke
together.

They
even
put
their
competitive
spirit
to
test
with
a
singing
game.

While
there
was
no
clear
winner,
it
led
to
a
lot
of
chaotic
fun,
much
to
the
amusement
of
the
audience.

Fatima
showed
her
enthusiasm
by
lip-syncing
to
the
songs,
along
with
her
co-star
Ali
Fazal.
She
picked

Dil
Ka
Kya
,
crooned
by
Raghav
Chaitanya,
as
her
favourite
track
from
the
album.

“Each
time
that
song
was
being
played,
Ali
and
I
got
goosebumps,”
Fatima
said.

Neena
Gupta
said
she
is
a
fan
of
old
Hindi
songs,
but
loves
the

Metro…
In
Dino
 soundtrack
for
its
soulful
lyrics,
especially
the
song

Zamaana
Lage
.

“Nowadays,
it’s
rare
to
have
lines
like
Main
ek
shaam
chura
loon
agar
bura
na
lage’
.

Metro…
In
Dino

has
a
lot
of
that,
it’s
so
beautiful.”

Pritam
said
that
making
the
music
for
this
film
was
a lot
of
fun
with
many
‘laugh
out
loud’
moments
in
it.

The
quirky
song Dhaagena
Tinak
Dhin

validated
Pritam’s
claims.

In
the
absence
of
Pankaj
Tripathi,
who
is
seen
dancing
to
this
fun
track
in
the
trailer,
Director
Anurag
Basu
took
charge
of
guiding
its
hook-step.
