Metro…In Dino has a messy start but soon, it gets on track. There are several characters and interconnected plots and soon, they start showing their charm. There are nearly 14-15 songs but they are very well woven into the narrative. Anurag Basu once again goes for 'sung-dialogues' a la Jagga Jasoos, La La Land etc. which makes for a novel watch. On the flipside, some scenes are too silly and unconvincing. At places, the execution is haphazard. It's mandatory to see the film with rapt attention; or else, you might miss out on certain important plot points. The track of the daughter is forced and a few tracks are not culminated properly. The stories of Pankaj-Konkona and Aditya-Sara get maximum screen time while the rest get a raw deal, unlike Life In A Metro where every track had equal prominence. Speaking of performances, Pankaj Tripathi delivers one of the best performances of his life. He gets the chance to play an interesting role and he takes it to dizzying heights. He overpowers every other actor in the film; such is his performance. Konkona Sen Sharma, as always, gives her best shot. Sara Ali Khan is just okay. Aditya Roy Kapur effortlessly slips into his part. Ali Fazal is decent but is let down by limited screen time. Fatima Sana Shaikh looks stunning and performance-wise, she's first rate. She proves yet again why she deserves to be seen more. Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher are lovely as expected. Saswata Chatterjee, Kush Jotwani (Anand), Darshana Banik (Jhunuk), Rohan Gurbaxani (Aryan) and others lend able support. All in all, Metro…In Dino is a breezy musical entertainer, with Pankaj Tripathi's performance being the icing on the cake.
