‘Metro… In Dino’ captures love in its chaos
“Metro… In Dino,” currently trending at No 4 on Netflix, plunges viewers into the messy, unpredictable, and deeply human world of modern love. Director Anurag Basu returns with his signature intertwining narratives, tracing the lives of four couples across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, and Pune as they wrestle with desire, loyalty, heartbreak, and self-discovery. At its core, the film probes the nuances of contemporary relationships, exploring the spaces between desire and fidelity, longing and responsibility, routine and excitement. Basu never shies away from the uncomfortable: questions of infidelity, emotional neglect, and the tension between individual ambition and shared life are addressed head-on, yet never in a preachy way. His storytelling is deliberate, oscillating between comedy, melancholy, and romantic whimsy in a way that mirrors the characters’ own emotional unpredictability.

Chayanika Chowdhury: 24 years and still going strong
In 2001, Chayanika Chowdhury hadn’t gone to “Light & Shadow” to direct – she had simply dropped by to collect a payment for another project. On that same set, a new script was being discussed, and she casually asked producer Mujibur Rahman about who would be directing it. His answer startled her: “You.” The old saying “Think before you act” never suited her. “I act first and think later,” she laughs. “Within two seconds I said yes.” That impulsive decision became the first step of a filmmaking journey she has now pursued relentlessly for twenty-four years.
