Apart from the box office, the film had a lukewarm reaction from critics, our review read: “Metro…In Dino begins chaotically. There are too many characters, too many relationships and too many dynamics to catch hold of….With so many characters intertwining and intermingling, it can feel bloated at instances but Anurag Basu’s assured screenplay makes it soar beautifully, like a hot air balloon. The story of every couple has a glint of life. Each character is a product of their history, housing wanted or unwanted pieces of their parents.”

Metro…In Dino release in theatres on July 4. The film has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu.
