Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino has a hilarious Mirzapur crossover you didn't see coming
In Anurag Basu's 'Metro... In Dino', things unfold with ease. Love takes its sweet time to bloom, and the monsoon becomes an additional character in the story. But even with all its beauty, nothing stands out quite like one particular scene - a moment that makes you laugh and silently thank whoever decided to include it in the all begins with the casting of Pankaj Tripathi and Ali Fazal - two actors famously known for playing gangsters in 'Mirzapur', the hit Prime Video series. Tripathi's Kaleen Bhaiya, and Fazal's Guddu Bhaiya are iconic. So, when Basu (or someone from the film's team) decides to sneak in a playful crossover detail in their film, cinema Alert: The scene has no significance in the story. It doesn't drive the narrative forward or add any emotional weight. It exists purely to make the audience laugh, and say, "Oh, I see what you did there...."The moment happens when Tripathi's Monty is driving, and Fazal's Akash runs across the road. Just as he narrowly avoids getting hit by Monty's car, the latter looks at him and says, "Guddu bhaiya, dhyan se (Be careful, Guddu Bhaiya)."Do you see it? Do you see the pun that comes without warning? That subtle, blink-and-miss moment that just drops on the screen - a perfectly placed Guddu Bhaiya x Kaleen Bhaiya crossover in Basu's romantic universe. And when it happens, jaws drop and theatres erupt in laughter and makes it even better is how casually it's done. There's no dramatic music, no slow-motion - just a seamless moment, delivered with effortless charm that it becomes unforgettable. It's a reminder of the pure joy cinema can bring, especially when actors of Tripathi and Fazal's calibre deliver it with a wink and a like a bonus feature added to the breezy narrative of 'Metro... In Dino'. You come expecting music, mood and chemistry, and you get all of that, but nothing prepares you for that one unexpected crossover that steals the if you are paying attention, there are more such surprises waiting to be discovered in the film.

Hansal Mehta questions impact of film promotion events: 'Do they make people watch?'
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta criticized repetitive film promotions on X, questioning if they truly engage audiences or just create an illusion of success. He urged for meaningful marketing focused on strong trailers and quality content, rather than formulaic events, amid aggressive campaigns for films like 'Metro… In Dino'. Hansal Mehta , the filmmaker renowned for his straightforward and unfiltered views on Bollywood and life, recently shared his honest opinion about how films and series are promoted on X (previously Twitter ). He criticized the repetitive and predictable marketing tactics, questioning their effectiveness in driving success. Formulaic Nature of Promotional Activities In an extensive post on X, Mehta questioned whether the usual promotional methods truly capture audience interest or simply give the appearance of success. Without naming anyone, he criticized how marketing has become formulaic, with actors repeatedly appearing on the same podcasts, answering identical questions, and making similar appearances in various locations. Questioning the True Value of Popularity Taking to his social media handle, the filmmaker wrote on X, 'Do these generic, template promotions for films and series actually work? Do they make people watch? Do they make the film/series any better? Or do they simply sustain an ecosystem built on illusion—PR agencies, costume designers, event planners, influencers, sponsors, red carpets, press conferences, paid 'reviews', social media fluff. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo It all looks like success. " He continued, 'It feels like popularity. But is it? Shouldn't a good trailer stir curiosity? Shouldn't compelling promo units and—most importantly—a good film or series be enough? Instead, we're stuck watching the same actors answer the same 10 questions on the same podcasts in the same studios, flying from one city to another, chasing a perception." A Call for Meaningful Promotion He concluded his post with a question: 'This isn't a rant—it's a question: What's the best way to promote a story today without becoming part of a machinery that serves neither the art nor the artist?". Context Amidst Aggressive Marketing Campaigns Although Mehta didn't specify any filmmaker or film, his critique comes at a time when movies like 'Metro… In Dino' and others are being promoted with intense and widespread marketing efforts.
