Anurag Basu’s latest romantic drama, Metro In Dino, which hit theatres on July 4, 2025, is now gearing up for its digital debut. Featuring a powerhouse ensemble cast — Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan,
Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Pankaj Tripathi — the film brought together multiple stories of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. And now, after completing its run in cinemas, it’s all set to reach a wider audience online.
Metro In Dino to Stream on Netflix by Month-End?
According to a report by India Times, Netflix has bagged the streaming rights to the Anurag Basu directorial. The report hints that the film is eyeing its OTT premiere around August 29, 2025. If the timeline holds true, the release will follow the now-common eight-week gap between a film’s theatrical bow and its digital release.
Produced by T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions, Metro In Dino weaves together the lives of four contemporary couples spread across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, and Bengaluru. Each storyline delves into modern-day relationships, touching on intimacy, conflict, vulnerability, and the transformative journey of self-realisation.
A Spiritual Successor to Life in a… Metro
The film is positioned as a spiritual sequel to Basu’s critically acclaimed 2007 anthology Life in a… Metro, which starred Konkona Sen Sharma, Kay Kay Menon, Irrfan Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Shilpa Shetty, Shiney Ahuja, Sharman Joshi, Dharmendra, and Nafisa Ali. While the earlier film captured the raw urban loneliness of the mid-2000s, Metro In Dino updates the narrative to explore love in the era of dating apps, changing social norms, and the complexities of balancing personal aspirations with relationships.
Box Office Journey
Metro In Dino had a modest theatrical run, collecting approximately ₹52 crore net in India and ₹78.50 crore worldwide. Its release coincided with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan, F1: The Movie, Maalik, and Superman, making for a competitive box office scenario.
What’s Next for Anurag Basu
Known for films like Murder, Gangster: A Love Story, Barfi!, Jagga Jasoos, and Ludo, Anurag Basu continues to juggle projects that blend mainstream appeal with artistic depth. He is currently working on an untitled musical film starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela.
With Metro In Dino now making its way to OTT, fans who missed its theatrical release will soon get a chance to watch the film from the comfort of their homes. Whether you’re in it for the performances, the music, or Basu’s signature storytelling style, August 29 might be the date to mark on your calendar.
