The journey of Anurag Basu’s highly anticipated film ‘Metro…इन दिनों’ has officially kicked off with the release of the teaser for its first song, ‘Zamaana Lage’. The teaser offers a tender glimpse into the film’s emotionally rich and contemporary take on urban love and relationships. The full track is set to release on 28th May, becoming the first song from the film’s soundtrack to reach audiences.

A New Chapter in Anurag Basu’s Hyperlinked Trilogy

Following the critically acclaimed ‘Life in a… Metro’ and ‘Ludo’, this film marks the final installment of Anurag Basu’s trilogy that masterfully interlaces multiple stories in a shared universe. ‘Metro…In Dino’ continues the tradition with its vibrant portrayal of life in metropolitan India, bringing out the joys, complexities, and heartbreaks of modern relationships. The film is backed by Bhushan Kumar and produced under the banners of T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions.

The Magical Trio: Pritam, Arijit Singh, and the Ghazal Revival

The musical soul of ‘Zamaana Lage’ comes alive through the composition of Pritam, with heartfelt vocals from Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh. Built upon the poignant line “Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage” by Indian poet Qaisar Ul Jafri, the song merges the timeless depth of ghazal poetry with a contemporary pop soundscape.

Pritam shares, “We wanted to revive the ghazal — not as nostalgia, but as something emotionally alive today. A ghazal can be modern, yet retain its poetic soul. That’s what we’ve tried to do with this song.” With additional lyrics by Sandeep Shrivastava, the track is a fresh blend of emotion, melody, and modern sensibility.

An Ensemble Cast Mirrors the Many Shades of Urban Love

The teaser also unveils the ensemble cast of the film, featuring Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, and Saswata Chatterjee. Their stories intersect within the sprawling urban canvas, offering glimpses into the diverse, layered emotions that define relationships in today’s world.

A Song That Bridges Generations

‘Zamaana Lage’ is more than just a song—it’s a pause amidst life’s chaos, a poetic bridge connecting generations. Its fusion of classical form and contemporary styling is a refreshing musical experiment that honors tradition while embracing the present.
