    The musical entertainer Metro…In Dino was released yesterday, July 4, to glowing reviews. The same day, Anurag Basu was travelling but he took out time to speak exclusively to Bollywood Hungama about the reactions and a lot more.

    Metro…In Dino has unanimously received positive word of mouth. What feedback have you received personally?
    I am waiting for more feedback to come in over the weekend. My friends and family are liking it but I think they are biased (smiles). Hence, I am hoping the general public will watch the film in theatres and like it. Then I’ll react.

    Do you plan to go to the cinema halls and see the reaction?
    No, because I am planning to go on a holiday (laughs)!

    The track of Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma and the whole track of the dating app fiasco has led to laughter in cinemas. Is this track inspired by a real-life incident?
    I remember when we were promoting the film, Konkona shared one post with me of a Delhi couple who faced the exact situation. Toh aisa hua toh hai. Most of the things shown in the film must have happened or are happening. It’s all around us.

    The film’s content is relatable. Also, this time we see there’s a focus on metro trains which wasn’t the case in Life In A Metro (2007). After all, our cities have progressed and that needs to reflect on screen…
    Yes, and also technology, dating apps etc. that have entered our lives have also got prominence in the film.

    The songs have been loved. However, just the Side A jukebox is out. When will Side B be released?
    It’ll be out soon. We had saved the musicals for Side B because we realized that people would like those songs more after they had watched it. They would not understand these songs without watching them in the film. By the end of the week, it should be out. It also has 2 main songs which haven’t been released yet.

    These ‘sung dialogues’ gave a unique touch and were not present in Life In A Metro…
    Yes, it wasn’t there in the first part. I wanted Metro…In Dino to be different in terms of the mood and feel. This is more fun and not as dark as the earlier one.

    The homage to Irrfan Khan can be seen in the climax and also in the scenes where Konkona Sen Sharma and Sara Ali Khan scream…
    I am glad you have noticed and there are many actually.

    Has his wife Sutapa Sikandar seen the film?
    No, I don’t think so. I’ll call her and ask her to watch the film.

    A big surprise is the cameo by Imtiaz Ali. How did you convince him?
    It was not difficult. I asked his daughter Ida to convince him! He has done a great job. Imtiaz doesn’t prefer to do such cameos but he made an exception for us.

    Not just Imtiaz Ali, but you also have a cameo and it’s adorable…
    (Smiles) The reason I decided to do that cameo was because Pritam was reluctant to come this time on screen. So, I told him, ‘Main bhi karunga cameo. Tu bhi kar’. So, I promised him that I’ll also feature as a cameo. If you notice, choreographer Vijay Ganguly can also be seen in a special appearance.
