'Metro In Dino' X reviews are in: Netizens laud Sara Ali Khan-starrer as a 'bittersweet ride'
Anurag Basu 's latest cinematic venture, 'Metro... In Dino,' finally arrived in theatres on July 4, creating a wave of nostalgia and anticipation among film enthusiasts. With a star-studded cast that includes Sara Ali Khan , Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi , and Konkona Sen Sharma , the film is a spiritual successor to Basu's 2007 anthology Life in a... Metro. Eighteen years after the original touched hearts with its portrayal of urban relationships , this new chapter delves once again into the intricate emotions of people navigating love and isolation in modern city life. Reactions Flood In Following its release, social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), saw an influx of responses from audiences. Viewers described the film as an emotional blend of reality and dreaminess. Many emphasized how it painted a poignant picture of solitude and affection in fast-paced urban settings. Several audience members found the storytelling to be both stirring and grounded, though a few noted that some parts felt hurried or underdeveloped. "#MetroInDino is a bittersweet ride through modern love & loneliness. Some stories hit hard, others feel rushed—but the emotions stay with you. Konkona & Pankaj Tripathi are outstanding. Music doesn't top the original but holds its charm," wrote one, while another commented, "A heart-touching cinematic experience... a film that stays with you—especially urban audiences will connect deeply." — NitranjanR (@NitranjanR) — vishalandcinema (@vishalandcinema) Despite those minor criticisms, the film struck a chord with many who appreciated its emotional sincerity. A strong consensus emerged around the standout performances—Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma received special praise for their deeply moving portrayals, while Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher were lauded for their sincerity and depth. The ensemble cast was described as the film's heartbeat, bringing authenticity to the narrative. Music and Mood The soundtrack, composed by Pritam, was acknowledged for its soul-stirring melodies. While some viewers felt it didn't surpass the timeless music of the original film, they agreed that it carried a fresh essence that fit the new narrative beautifully. The songs enhanced the emotional tone and helped elevate the personal journeys shown on screen. What the Film Offers Metro... In Dino is structured as an anthology, weaving together the lives of four distinct couples. Though leading separate lives, their stories intersect in subtle and meaningful ways. Much like its predecessor, the film focuses on everyday people dealing with love, heartbreak, compromise, and self-discovery in the chaos of metropolitan existence. The project was officially announced in December 2022, and filming wrapped up in early 2024. The team shot across several cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Lucknow, capturing the soul of urban India. Conclusion Basu's Metro... In Dino serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder of how human connection continues to survive in bustling, disconnected urban landscapes. With emotional depth, strong performances, and a relevant theme, the film resonates with those who find beauty in life's quieter, more vulnerable moments.

Thammudu Twitter reviews: Sorry Nithiin, but this disaster is no Kaithi, say viewers
Thammudu Twitter reviews: Nithiin has not had the best time at the box office lately. The actor, who was last seen in Robinhood, stars in Sriram Venu's Thammudu, which was released in theatres this Friday. Bold move considering that the title is taken from Pawan Kalyan's hit 1999 sports film. Unfortunately, X (formerly Twitter) was not impressed with the film. Thammudu Twitter reviews: Nithiin in a still from Sriram Venu's film. 'Thammudu is no Kaithi' Most fans who watched Thammudu just seemed frustrated at Nithiin for selecting a script like this. One X user wrote, '#Thammudu Worst! Thanks to #Nithin for continuously reminding me that I am an idiot to watch his movies on premiere night. The movie neither had emotional drama nor action as they 'promised'.' Another asked both the director and actor to keep up with the time, writing, 'Sorry @actor_nithiin & #SriramVenu. This team should really consider time travel to at least to 2020 from 2005 scripts. Not to bash the team but please ensure delivering a minimum guaranteed movie. Slow-paced and predictable scenes. Actors performed well but a strict 1.5.' An X user wrote, 'Another Film Another disaster for Nithin it's continues from half a decade. All Hopes on #yallamma.' A person wrote that Sriram and Nithiin tried to make a Kaithi, but failed, '#Thammudu 1st time. Sorry #Nithin anna good luck for next film. Oka racy film thiyyali, villains chase chestunnaru vallanunchi thappinchukovali (like khaidhi) anna point theeskunnaka madhyalo songs, comedy petti dhobbinchuko cinema aapi flashback lu. (Sorry, brother Nithiin, good luck with the next film. Though you made a film that had the scope to be racy like Kaithi, it was ruined by songs, comedy and flashbacks.) ' One X user wrote that Thammudu 'tests your patience from start to finish', adding, 'Director Venu Sriram attempts to deliver a unique action-adventure film with an interesting backdrop. However, he completely fails. The on-screen proceedings are outright silly at times, coupled with a core brotherhood emotion that is poorly executed. The villain's characterization is somewhat unique, but the conflict point and its execution come off as unintentionally funny.' They rounded up the review by calling it 'outright bad' and rating it 1.75/5. 'Thammudu is not that bad' Some fans, however, were impressed by the film, or at least thought it wasn't as bad as it's being made out to be. One X user wrote, '#thammudu is not bad. Could have been is an okayish brother-sister drama ...1.75 antha disaster ayithe kaadu. Reviews are intentionally poor for reasons unknown…' Another wrote, 'Superb first half #Thammudu. Second half has excellent fight sequences…fans ki full meals aa fight sequences…Overall good movie. One time watch. Must in Theaters.' A fan even thought Nithiin gave his career best performance in Thammudu, '#Thammudu Review : A Good emotional Ride with Solid Production values - ⅗. Mainly Youth Star @actor_nithiin has given one of the career best performance with a good comeback film #Nithiin. Director #SriramVenu Handled the subject very well with gripping screenplay and @AJANEESHB BGM AND MUSIC IS LIT. Lead actors #Laya @gowda_sapthami and @VarshaBollamma are good in their roles.'
