Metro…इन दिनों Set to Hit Theatres on 4th July 2025
One of the most awaited films of the season, Metro…इन दिनों, is gearing up for a grand release on 4th July 2025. Directed by Anurag Basu and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Basu, the film marks the final instalment in Basu’s acclaimed hyperlinked trilogy following Life in a… Metro and Ludo.

Anurag Basu’s Signature Vision and Casting Genius
Anurag Basu is widely known for his distinctive cinematic language, where stories interweave with emotional depth and compelling characters. In Metro…इन दिनों, Basu continues this tradition with a powerful ensemble and a sensitive, humanistic approach to urban life. Among the standout cast is Ali Fazal, chosen to portray one of the most emotionally layered roles in the film.

Ali Fazal on Why He Said Yes Immediately
Reflecting on his journey into Basu’s world, Ali Fazal said, “I think we’re all drawn to stories that push us out of our comfort zones. But with this one, it was an easy yes – it’s Basu Da!” He added, “I had shamelessly texted him long ago, which I rarely do, but his musicality in storytelling has always stayed with me. Basu Da’s technical mastery and his Spartan-like team make shooting feel like just one small part of a bigger masterpiece – leaving us actors in awe, like a box of chocolates where you never know what you’ll get.”

A Vulnerable Dreamer in the Heart of a Chaotic City
Opening up about his character, Ali revealed, “Akash, my character, is a dreamer – vulnerable, a little lost in the chaos of the big city. Fatima and I take a winding journey in the film, full of zigzags that eventually tie into the larger picture. Somewhere in that mess is the aching heart of our story.”

An Ensemble Cast to Watch Out For
Metro…इन दिनों brings together a powerhouse ensemble including Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, and Saswata Chatterjee. Each character, crafted with nuance, contributes to a rich tapestry of urban lives intersecting in unexpected ways.

A Story Both Intimate and Universal
Basu’s storytelling in Metro…इन दिनों seeks to strike a delicate balance between the deeply personal and the universally relatable. The film promises to explore themes of love, loneliness, connection, and hope in a modern metropolitan setting.

Presented by T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions
Metro…इन दिनों is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd. Directed by Anurag Basu with music composed by Pritam, and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu – the film invites audiences to find their own story on the big screen this 4th of July, 2025.
